About
Behaeddin Shakir or Bahaeddin Shakir (Ottoman Turkish: بهاءالدین شاکر; Turkish: Bahattin Şakir; 1874, Constantinople (now Istanbul) – April 17, 1922) was an Ottoman right wing politician and one of the architects of the Armenian Genocide. He was a founding member of the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), which he transformed into a political party, and director of the Shuraï-Ummett, a newspaper that supported the Committee. During World War I he was part of the leadership of the Teşkilât-ı Mahsusa. At the end of that war he was detained with other members of the CUP, first by a local Ottoman court martial and then by the British government. He was then sent to Malta pending military trials for crimes against humanity, which never materialized, and was subsequently exchanged by Britain for hostages held by Turkish nationalist forces.
