Comment

"The Turkish government had previously stated that all of the Turkish leaders during the time of the Armenian Genocide had been tried, sentenced, and killed. When Tehlirian killed Talaat Pasha in Berlin, the former Turkish leader had already been considered dead."

Can you give sources for this?--Kagan the Barbarian 12:58, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I suspect no citation is possible. That was an argument made by Tehlirian's legal council. It is important to note, and this is noted in the court documentation, that the judge dismissed the argument of Pasha already being considered dead.

what do you mean when using the word legal here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.175.133.30 (talk) 13:44, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Date of Birth

Tehlirian's remains are at a memorial in the center of the Masis Ararat Cemetery in Fresno, CA. The stone reads clearly that he was born on April 15, 1896 and died on May 23, 1960. There seems to be a discrepancy with the dates in this article and his headstone.

Correction: my edit-summary should have been, "yes, but i meant he was never a prime minister during the genocide." I believe the use of the term 'Interior Minister' to characterize Talaat Pasha is most suitable for him and especially for this article. For one, Talaat wasn't assassinated for what he did as a Prime Minister, rather he was assassinated for his role in the massacres as Interior Minister. Adding that he assassinated 'Prime Minister' Talaat would be misleading for the reader since the reader would perhaps research Talaat under the basis of his post as Prime Minister instead of Interior Minister. That would be confusing for some, especially when Talaat served as prime minister a couple of years after the Armenian Genocide and promulgation of the Tehcir Kanun. Besides, Talaat is more known as an Interior Minister. On Google Books, 'Interior Minister Talaat' yields 468 results and 'Interior Minister Talat' yields 1950 results. On the other hand, 'Prime Minister Talaat' yields only 110 results while 'Prime Minister Talat yields a measly 141. Étienne Dolet (talk) 21:51, 22 April 2014 (UTC)Prime_Minister"> Prime_Minister">

I do believe that the wording in the lead may need to be improved to something like: "Soghomon Tehlirian was an Armenian Genocide survivor who assassinated Talaat Pasha for his role in the Armenian Genocide as Interior Minister of the Ottoman Empire...."

Armenian terrorist is described subtly as innocent and victim

Describing a terrorist murderer like national hero is impressive work of armenian diaspora in wikipedia. Congrats them all really.--78.189.170.134 (talk) 17:53, 22 May 2015 (UTC) By the way http://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/voelkermord-der-adler-1.2442261?reduced=true
