To rid the world of the horrid people that the Young Turks were, a small number of the remaining survivors of the Armenian genocide took it into their hands to kill the Turks in retaliation and to further prevent them from killing again. From 1920 to 1922, a group of Armenian men carried out Operation Nemesis, tasked with killing the Turks who had escaped to Germany in hopes of surviving the wrath that would be waiting for them in Armenia. Starting on May 28, 1918, the Armenian National Council declared the independence of Armenia. Hovhannes Kachaznuni and Alexander Khatisyan, both members of the ARF, moved to Yerevan, Armenia to issue the announcement of Armenian independence on May 30, 1918. Yerevan then became the capital city in Armenia.
