Mustafa Pasha Yamulki a struggler for justice

Mustafa Pasha Yamulki
An interesting character who raises many questions.
Although he was not a Turk, he reached highest ranks in the Ottoman Empire.
During the Istanbul tribunals, 1919-1920 he was a judge and later the presiding judge of the court.
He sentenced to death the main perpetrators of the Armenian genocide, He did not hesitate to impose the death penalty on Grand Vizier Tal'at Pasha and Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
Although many of the perpetrators had escaped, the punishments were later carried out by Armenian avengers in “Operation Nemesis”.
While the Ta'ali, Taraqi and Young Turks were systematically destroying all evidence of the Armenian genocide.
Yamulki handed over hundreds of important documents to the Armenian Patriarch in Istanbul after being sealed and certified in court, which later became the main and most important evidence of the crimes of Armenian genocide.
As the nationalist Turks became stronger, they brought several charges against Yamulki, but he never acted as an accused in court.
Even in the cage of the accused, he was the same fair judge.
From there, he pointed out in detail the crimes committed by the Pashas of the Ottoman Empire against the Armenians.
He never regretted having sentenced these criminals to death when he was a judge.
This documentary tells the story of a struggler for justice.
