A veteran of the 1912-1913 Balkan wars, he is most noted for his role in the Armenian genocide, he reportedly bragged repeatedly about his massacre missions.[1] Later he joined Kemalist forces after WWI, in wich he organized the expulsions of Anatolian greeks, and was later awarded Chief of the Personal Guard Contingent by Mustapha Kemal Ataturk. However, after strangling a deputy due to a personal matter, he was killed during an exchange of fire with the military units sent to capture him.[1] His body was hanged in front of the fledgling Parliament in March 1923.
