Ahmed Izzet Pasha
After the Empire's surrender in World War I, on the night of 2–3 November 1918 with the aid of Ahmed Izzet Pasha, Talaat Pasha and other members of the CUP's central committee fled the Ottoman Empire. In the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Military Tribunal convicted Talaat and sentenced him to death "in absentia" for his role in the Armenian genocide. Talaat was assassinated in Berlin in 1921 by Soghomon Tehlirian, a member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, as part of Operation Nemesis.
