On the morning of March 15, 1921, near the house No. 4 on Hardenberg Street in the Berlin district of Charlottenburg, he discovered and shot in front of many witnesses (with a Parabellum Luger P08 pistol) the former Turkish Grand Vizier Talaat Pasha, who was hiding in Germany under the name Sey. After the murder, Tehliryan was arrested by the German authorities. Tehliryan's trial and his acquittal has become a sensation. The subject of the court discussion was not only Tehliryan's attack, but also Talaat's previous actions as the organizer of the brutal massacres of civilians. Numerous witnesses were heard at the trial, who told the details of the genocide. They shocked the public. This trial had a profound effect on Polish lawyer Rafael Lemkin, who later coined/created the term "genocide." On June 2, 1921, German court found him not guilty and released him.
