Again, I really hate to be a prick by asking this, but are there impartial sources about this? I mean, no offense, but this sentence: "However, the British placed no value on the sentence, and secretly released the criminals and enemies of humanity. The executioners of the Armenian people were moving freely in the streets of Berlin, Rome, Baku, Tbilisi, and other cities." seems not too encyclopedic.. "British placed no value on the sentence" or "secretly released the criminals and enemies of humanity".. In any case, I don't want there to be an edit-war about this, so please get some impartial (not Armenian nor Turkish) sources for this article. If people could use a better encyclopedic tone, that would be nice as well.. Baristarim 07:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I had a closer look: this article rests on two books written by two people who are claimed to have participated in this: that is not encyclopedic. There really needs to be impartial sources cited. These two books can be used as additional references, however they cannot be used as primary references since there is a conflict of interest, how is the reader suppose to know that the claims are not for self-publicity? Again, pls bring in more sources, otherwise OR tag will be added, but since this is not a bust article, let's wait for a month or so if someone can dig up or find something. Cheers! Baristarim 07:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
In regards to User:Baristarim's changes: The official name of the capital of the Ottoman Empire was Constantinople. (Please see Constantinople article.) We use official names in Wikipedia articles. Serouj 11:14, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
1. "you cant justify an assasination as "successful", armenian. assasination is an assasionation." by Evrenos
2. "It cant be called "armenian nuremberg" because jewish massacre was "after" *yours*.. the "three pashas" were no criminals but the protectors of the former state from "rebellion armenians".
3. Istanbul vs. Constantinople has already been addressed above. Serouj 23:10, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
"Enver Pasha, the third member of the Ittihadist triumvirate, was assassinated in 1922 in Turkmenistan when he was leading the Basmaji-Hrosakayin Pan-Turanian movement. It is assumed that his killer was an Armenian soldier in the Red Army." Is there a source for this? I've never heard this before in histories about Enver Pasha or the Bismachi Revolt. Also, can you really call the Bismachi Revolt a "Pan-Turnanian" movement? It was hardly even an organized movement, much less a Pan-Turanist one (although perhaps it was both in Enver's mind.) Oldkinderhook 20:32, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
I have deleted the reference to Enver Pasha. I have done quite a bit of study of Enver Pasha's life, and this is the first time I've seen his name attached to the Armenian genocide, or that his death was in some way connected to Operation Nemesis. The idea is rather comical to me. Not that Enver was a lover of Armenians, but that they were outside of his priorities entirely. In his efforts to create a pan-Turkic state, although in the end he was working with non-Turkic Tajiks as well. I deleted the note until someone finds a published source. Enver Pasha had his down-sides, but an Armenian-genocidist?
Also, the Basmachis [bandits] were much more a response to the Russian colonization and de-Islamification than anything else. They weren't very organized, which was a problem that Enver himself had with them. Several sources point to his death being the result of double-crosses within the organization, and I do believe the Wiki-entry for him reflects that. I believe his position was given to the Russians, who killed him along with the camp of Basmachi he was with. Michael Hancock 21:18, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
The "Background" section states that the British ignored the death sentences and declined to send the people in question back to Turkey. But the "role of the Russo-British intelligence services" section states that the British were actively hunting down the people in question and trying to get them sent back to Turkey.
Did the British initially release the men and then change their minds, or are these two sides of a disputed story, or what? As neither section has any proper citations, it's hard to judge where these statements are coming from, or which is more reliable. Perhaps an expert historian would be kind enough to edit the article and make the narrative a bit more coherent. 81.86.133.45 11:46, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
I do not claim to be an expert on this subject, but the claim that the British and Soviet intelligence services collaborated in assassinating various Young Turk leaders seems to be a highly questionable one. There are no sources in this section, and given what is known of MI6 in the 1920s, which was very much an amateurish run service, I very much doubt that MI6 had the capacity to organize such a operation. In the early 1920s, London and Moscow did not have diplomatic relations, and to say that relations between the two states were less then friendly would be an understatement. The British provided support for the White Russians (please remember that the Russian Civil War had ended only in 1920), while the Soviet government was committed to overthrowing the British government via the Comintern. Anyhow, the Soviets were offering support to Mustafa Kemal and his Nationalists in the war with Greece (who were supported by London) at this time, so the claim that the Soviets would work with the British at this time against Turkish nationalism appears somewhat dubious. In the early 1920s, Kemal and his movement, through anti-Communist, was regarded by Moscow as a revolutionary anti-imperalist force that could helped be used to bring down the British Empire. At the Conference of Lausanne of 1923, which resulted in the Treaty of Lausanne, the Soviet Foreign Commissar Georgy Chicherin took a position that has been described as more Turkish then the Turks in regards to the Straits question. It was only later that relations between the Soviets and the Turks cooled. Moreover, the reference to the Armenians as the tool for an Anglo-Soviet assassination campaign appears to imply that the only reasons why Armenians would assassinate Young Turk leaders is because they were put up to it by foreign intelligence services, not because of the Armenian Genocide. A claim by an Egyptian journalist does not in and of itself constitute prima facie evidence that there was an Anglo-Soviet plot to hunt down and murder the leaders of the Committee for Union and Progress. All said, a section full of doubtful claims. --ɐ A.S. Brown 05:09, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
The sentence: "A 'black list' contained the names of 200 criminals responsible for organizing the genocide of the Armenian people." seems prejudicial.
The people on the list are described as "criminals" and "responsible" for the genocide. Perhaps suggesting that the names were "suspected" or "believed" responsible for the crimes would improve the tone. It sounds biased as it is currently written. also:
"However, the British placed no value on the sentence, and secretly released the criminals. The executioners of the Armenian people were moving freely in the streets of Berlin, Rome, Baku, Tbilisi, and other cities."
Sounds biased as well. Statements of whether or not Britain placed value on the sentences need to be backed up, and the word "criminals" is prejudicial, but perhaps acceptable in the context of their conviction. The sentence that begins "the executioners" sounds like a movie preview and not an encyclopedia. Mrtmat ( talk) 22:52, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
The article currently reads: "The operation is also known as 'The Armenian Nuremberg.'" Who originated this moniker? Also, could someone add an in-line citation for the claim? I have the feeling that I've read it somewhere, but I can't find a reliable source on the Web to confirm the assertation (which is itself not all that surprising, considering how much of the material about the Operation is in the form of print books, manuscripts, memoirs and government documents). The closest thing to a confirmation I could find is this article, which uses the phrase as its title without directly placing it into context. – Black Falcon ( Talk) 16:44, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
The term Armenian genocide cannot be used for 1920s beccause in those years it was called Armenian massacres.Like Constantinople instead of Istanbul.--Abbatai 17:58, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
Did they make operation like this?-- Kaiyr ( talk) 10:38, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
Why is not Ataturk in black list?-- Kaiyr ( talk) 10:50, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
Because Ataturk was a secular constitutionalist, and he wasn't involved with any of the actions that Nemesis aimed to reprise.
There is a photograph of Azmi in the Wikipedia article on him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:7C87:4F00:88BB:206:46DC:C2D4 ( talk) 15:01, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
in 1922 Sultan Mohammed Vl put it quite succinctly and pointedly, when he told the American writer E. Alexander Powel: "If we sent one, your newspapers and periodicals would not publish an article written by a Turk, if they published it, your people would not read it, if they read it, they would not believe it. Even if we sent a qualified person to America, to convey to you in your language, the Turkish point of view, would he find an impartial audience?"
It is now a common info that Wikipedia is totally overwhelmed by organized Armenian (and Greek) users who really hates Turks in general and tries to justify everything that their ancestors did back in the days and condemns everything the Turks and Kurds did by just making up stories and distorting the truth. I guess they believe what Goebbels believed " If you tell a lie long enough and many times, you can make anyone believe it." Pretty much the same mentality.
Funded by rich Armenian communities, these online wiki-groups bully everyone who does not praise Armenian killers as heroes. They never ever allow anything to be edited or simply added to wiki. Try it for yourself and see what happens.
For anyone who is here to read about history or truth, i warn you; you are in the wrong place. If you seek the truth, you have nothing to read here. Be acknowledged that Armenians did/can prove nothing here. History is not written online. Racist historians and paid academicians tried really really hard to harm the Turks for decades but could prove nothing. You can search it for yourself on sites like academia. Lots of books or sheets about Turks and Armenians/Greeks but not even a single one of them has historical proof about anything they mention. Usually their sources are a 90 year old Armenian who likes to tell horror stories about Turks, fake photos, forged documents...
If you search long enough, you will stumble upon something like SOAD. Hehe... Everything they tried turned out to be fake or simply just horror tales told by racist Armenians who has nothing to do but hate Turks. Still, western people telling nighttime horror tales about horrible Turks... this is just pathetic. Racism at max level. I guess racism is OK if it is done against Turks and muslims, huh? Hypocrites. Typical western bulls*it.
You speak so highly of yourselves. So i ask, where is the reliability/science here? What is the source of all these claims written all over wikipedia? How many of these claims have any sound proof behind them? Which neutral source? Someone kills a Turk and immediately Armenians call him a national hero... Well, i guess i have made my point. No need to prolong.
For the so called Armenian Genocide thingy, i strongly recommend you to visit the site: tall armenian tale. Visit there and see for yourself. 212.174.188.36 ( talk) 13:30, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
