Djevdet Bey or Cevdet Tahir Belbez[1] (1878 – January 15, 1955)[2] was an Ottoman Albanian governor of the Van vilayet of the Ottoman Empire during World War I and the Siege of Van. He is considered responsible for the massacres of Armenians in and around Van.[3] Clarence Ussher, a witness to these events, reported that 55,000 Armenians were subsequently killed.[4][5] Djevdet is also considered responsible for massacres of Assyrians in the same region.[6]
