Operation Nemesis 1920 - 1923 - The Post War Fate of the Perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide

Summary/Abstract: After the Ottoman Empire's defeat in the First World War, plans were made by the victorious powers to trial the Young Turk Leaders responsible for the Armenian Genocide. Due to the lack of today's international laws and the reluctance of the Entente leaders to take actions, almost all of the culprits were allowed to avoid judgement. The leading party of the newborn Democratic Republic of Armenia comissioned a covert operation to hunt down fugitive war criminels. Between 1920 and 1923 nine suspected war criminals assassinated, including two of the Three Pashas that ruled the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. The operation "Nmesis" was executed in almost comlete secrecy. This paper examines the events and some of the bacgrounds of the operations using the participant's recollections and comtemporary press.
