Tried and failed to be controversial with the Ataturk thread.
The Turkish minister of War.
The man who killed 1.8 million Americans, 300,000 Assyrians & 750,000 Greeks in his Turkish nationalism. Basically changed the ethnic population of anatolia and made it all Turkish.
He's the reason Assyrians are damn near extinct. He dragged the Ottoman empire into WW1.
"Enver first went to Germany and shuttled back and forth between Berlin and Moscow trying to build a German-Soviet alliance. He went to Baku in September 1920 and took part in the Congress of Eastern Peoples. In July 1921 he tried to return to Turkey, but Mustafa Kemal did not want him among his forces, as he explicitly rejected Enverβs Pan-Turkic ideas. He traveled to Moscow where he managed to win the trust of the Soviet authorities. In November 1921 he was sent by Lenin to Bukhara, in Turkestan, to help suppress a revolt against the local Bolshevik regime. Instead, along with a small number of followers, he defected to the rebels and united their different groups under his own command to fight against the Red Army.
On August 4, 1922, a cavalry brigade of the Red Army under the command of Hakob Melkumian (known in Russian sources as Yakov Melkumov) launched a surprise attack over Enverβs headquarters near the village of Ab-i-Derya. The attack ended with Enverβs death. There are different versions. According to Melkumovβs memoirs, Enver managed to escape on horseback and hid for several days in the village of Chaghan. After the hideout was located, the Soviet troops stormed the village and Enver was killed by Melkumov himself in the ensuing combat.
Enverβs body was buried near Ab-i-Derya. As it happened with Talaat in 1943, the remains of this executioner of the Armenian people were brought to Turkey in 1996 and reburied at the Monument of Liberty cemetery in Shishli, Istanbul."
