Assassination of Talat Pasha
- ... that the assassination of Talat Pasha to avenge the Armenian Genocide resulted in "one of the most spectacular trials of the twentieth century"?
- ALT1:... that after the assassination of Talat Pasha, the killer told police "I am not the murderer; he was" and was acquitted?
- ALT2:... that after the main architect of the Armenian Genocide was assassinated, the German Foreign Office sent a wreath "To a great statesman and a faithful friend"?

Article is new enough, long enough, well-sourced. Can't access Ihrig 2016, but can access Hosfeld 2005. On the question of neutrality, the article relates to a contentious topic, but appears reasonably written and grounded in sources. I had an initial concern about the relevance of German views in the background section, but from what I can see of the sources they themselves discuss these links, so taking educated AGF the sources relate it to the article topic. On hooks, I lean towards ALT0 and ALT2, as ALT1 is perhaps not as clear as it was not the police who acquitted the assassin. Am glad I don't have to figure out whether the various quotes meet MOS:LQ or not for DYK! CMD (talk) 12:34, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
