COVERAGE OF TALAAT PASHA’S MURDER AND SOGHOMON TEHLIRYAN’S TRIAL IN THE NEWSPAPERS “HAYRENIK” AND “JAKATAMART’’

Abstract

The article is a an overview of the materials published in the periodicals “Hayrenik” and
“Jakatamart” on Talaat Pasha’s murder and Soghomon Tehliryan’s trial. The paper examines
these two periodicals in the period from March to July, 1921. The choice of these two
newspapers is not accidental; the “Hayrenik” daily mainly published articles on the Armenian
Cause and the activities of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, while the “Jakatamart”
editorial office was the organizing center of the Nemesis Action in Constantinople. It should
also be noted that in these two newspapers we found both news of own correspondence and
translations of the articles published in foreign press. The article also touches upon some of the
articles published in “The New York Times”, from which we receive valuable information on
these cases.
