Talaat Pasha Telegrams

The Talaat Pasha Telegrams are a collection of secret messages sent by Talaat Pasha, the Ottoman Empire's Minister of the Interior and later Grand Vizier, during World War I. These telegrams reveal plans and decisions related to the Armenian Genocide, documenting efforts to deport and exterminate Armenians. They serve as crucial historical evidence showing the planning and coordination behind the genocidal campaign. Discovered in the early 20th century, the telegrams have been instrumental in understanding the Ottoman government's role and intent during this tragic period.
