Soghomon Tehlirian (Armenian: ??????? ?????????; April 2, 1896 – May 23, 1960) was an Armenian revolutionary who assassinated Talaat Pasha, the former Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, in Berlin on March 15, 1921.
The assassination was a part of Operation Nemesis, planned by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation as revenge for the Armenian Genocide orchestrated by the Ottoman Imperial Government during World War I.
Talaat Pasha had been convicted and sentenced to death in absentia in the Turkish courts-martial of 1919–20, and was viewed as the main orchestrator of the genocide.
After a two-day trial Tehlirian was found not guilty by the German court, and freed.
Tehlirian is considered a national hero by Armenians.
