Guy Parmelin vs Mehmed Talat

Parmelin was elected to the Swiss Federal Council on December 9, 2015, representing the Swiss People's Party (SVP). He took over the Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sports, later moving to the Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research in 2019.

As head of the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research from 2019, Parmelin managed Switzerland's economic response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including short-time work schemes, business loans, and support for research and innovation to mitigate economic damage.

Guy Parmelin served as President of the Swiss Confederation in 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. He chaired the Federal Council and represented Switzerland abroad, while continuing his role as head of the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research.

Mehmed Talat was appointed Minister of Interior in the CUP government. He became the de facto strongman of the empire, controlling internal security and implementing policies of Turkification and population transfers.

As Interior Minister, Mehmed Talat issued the orders for the mass deportation of Armenians from eastern Anatolia. He personally directed the implementation, which resulted in the Armenian Genocide. His role made him the primary architect of the genocide.

Mehmed Talat was appointed Grand Vizier, succeeding Said Halim Pasha. He led the Ottoman government during the final years of World War I, overseeing the empire's war effort and the continuation of genocidal policies.

After the Ottoman defeat in World War I, Mehmed Talat fled to Germany along with other CUP leaders. He was tried in absentia by an Ottoman military court and sentenced to death for his role in the Armenian Genocide.

Mehmed Talat was assassinated in Berlin by Armenian student Soghomon Tehlirian as an act of vengeance for the Armenian Genocide. His assassination was part of Operation Nemesis, a covert Armenian retribution campaign.
