One day in March, 1921, a young man burst

into Hardenberg Street, Berlin, trailing a

neighborhood resident who was out for a stroll.

Minutes later, he struck down his target with a

bullet through the head.

At his trial, the young Armenian, Soghomon

Tehlirian, acknowledged the killing but claimed

he was no murderer. It was the victim, Talaat

Pasha, who had orchestrated the massacre of

Tehlirian's family and people.

Decades afterwards, the archives of the Zoryan

Institute and the Armenian Revolutionary

Federation ( Tashnagtsutiun ) would reveal the

true story of this special mission ( hadoog kordz

in Armenian), code-named "Nemesis" for the

goddess of righteous vengeance.
