Niyazi Bey was a prominent figure in the early 20th century, known for his role in the Ottoman Empire during a time of significant political change. He was a leader of the Young Turks, a reformist movement that aimed to modernize the empire and promote nationalism among its diverse populations. Niyazi Bey is particularly remembered for his involvement in the 1913 coup d'état that established a more authoritarian regime under the Committee of Union and Progress. His actions contributed to the eventual dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of the Republic of Turkey in 1923.
