# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Ahmed Djemal Pasha was born on 6 May 1872 and rose through the Ottoman military, stationed in Salonica, where he joined the reformist Committee of Union and Progress. Early in his career he was praised by Christian missionaries and helped Armenian victims of the Adana massacres. He fought in the Balkan Wars, developed a bitter rivalry with Mustafa Kemal, and took command of Constantinople after the Raid on the Sublime Porte. Alongside Talaat and Enver, he became one of the Three Pashas who led the empire during the First World War; his three-year authoritarian rule in Syria alienated the population through forced Turkish nationalism. His role in the Armenian genocide remains disputed — his policies favored forced assimilation rather than the outright extermination pursued by other CUP leaders. After the 1918 Armistice of Mudros, the CUP fell, and Djemal fled; a Special Military Tribunal sentenced him to death in absentia. On 21 July 1922, members of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation assassinated him in Tbilisi.
