    The Turkish Parliament (Chamber) was dissolved by proclamation of the Minister of the Interior instead of the expected fall of the Cabinet. The Minister outlined in a declaration that Turkey was led into war through the ambitions of some high officials rather than necessity. Additionally, the Ottoman Government decided to create a court-martial to try officials responsible for the Armenian massacres, though most had fled, and Marshal Liman von Sanders, primarily responsible, was allowed to freely leave Constantinople.

    TURK CHAMBER DISSOLVED

    Court-Martial to Try Officials Responsible for Massacres


    DECEMBER 27, 1918
    WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. -- Dissolution of the Turkish Parliament was proclaimed
    yesterday by the Minister of the Interior, according to a dispatch from Constantinople to
    the Petit Parisian, reported to Washington today through official channels. It had been
    expected that the Cabinet would fall, the report said, but instead the House of Deputies
    was dissolved by proclamation.
    The Minister read a long declaration in reply to an interpolation from the Deputies of the
    Opposition in which he outlined the history of the war and pointed out that Turkey was
    led into it through no necessity but to content the ambitions of some high officials.
    It also was reported from Constantinople, the advises said, that the Ottoman Government
    had decided to create a general court-martial for the trial of all functionaries responsible
    for the recent massacres of Armenians, although most of them have fled the country with
    Enver Pasha and Djemal.
    The dispatch noted that Marshal Liman von Sanders, formerly head of the German
    military mission to Turkey and one of those primarily responsible for the massacres, was
    allowed to leave Constantinople freely.
