2 of them, actually the top 2 who master minded the Armenian genocided
were found guilty and fled Turkey only to be later executed by Armenians.
The reason why some fanatic Turks call Armenians murderers because they
murdered the top 2 mass murderers most responsible for the murder of 1,5
million Armenians.
" As things turned out, many of the top Ittihadists who fled Turkey in
1918 were assassinated by Armenian commandos. Talaat, the minister of
internal affairs and grand vizier of the Ittihad state, was shot in
Berlin on March 15,1921. Behaeddin Sakir (Chakir), a senior member of
the "Commission of Supply," which had coordinated much of the
extermination campaign, and Djemal Azmy, military governor during the
height of the killings in Trebizond, were killed in Berlin on April 17,
1922. Enver, the former minister of war, is said to have been killed by
the Soviet army in Bukhara in 1922, though many of the details of his
death remain uncertain. Djemal, who with Talaat and Enver had
constituted the ruling triumvirate of the Ittihad state, was gunned down
in July 1922 in Tiflis. He was on his way to a trade conference in
Berlin, where he was to buy weapons for the Afghan army."
