He was recognized as the deputy who put forward the strongest opposition to Mustafa Kemal Pasha in the 1st Parliament. He was assassinated in 1923. His friends charged the Turkish Government for his murder and talked about an assassination for political reasons, the Government denied it.[2][3] Topal Osman was indicted as the assassin. Turkish military police wounded Osman and killed several of his men in a clash the following month. Later that day, Osman was summarily executed.[1]
