Džamal Paša citáty

Džamal Paša byl osmanský vojenský vůdce, ministr námořnictva a člen triumvirátu, známého jako Tři Pašové, který vládl Osmanské říši během první světové války. Předtím působil mimo jiné jako starosta Istanbulu.

Na podzim 1918 musel uprchnout z Turecka spolu se svými spoluvládci Talatem a Enverem, kde byli všichni tři poté v nepřítomnosti odsouzeni k trestu smrti.

Zemřel při atentátu, který na něj v Tbilisi v rámci operace Nemesis spáchali členové Arménské revoluční federace za jeho podíl na genocidě Arménů během první světové války. Jeho ostatky byly poté převezeny do východotureckého města Erzurum, kde je pohřben.

Byl nositelem vojenské verze vyznamenání Pour le Mérite. Wikipedia

“Our sole aim was, by virtue of this war, to rid ourselves of the lot of them, however many international decisions there were. Each one represented a blow to our…independence…And, just as it was our dearly held goal to lift the Capitulations and the Mt. Lebanon concessions, we also desired to destroy the signed understanding concerning the reforms in Eastern Anatolia…”

“In the program of the Turkish government, nothing is said of a Turkification of the Arabs. I have never intended anything like that nor even thought of it. Our sole purpose is to strengthen the feeling of fraternity between the Ottoman-Turkish and the Ottoman-Arab elements and to make the latter understand that the national interests of the Arabs are identical to those of the Turks and that any harm to one of them necessarily means harm to the other. The Ottoman-Turkish and the Ottoman-Arab elements have to rally to the caliphate without afterthoughts if they want to survive.”
