Cherkes Ahmet was the leader of Ottoman Turkey’s state-sponsored paramilitary marauders of supposedly Circassian origin during World War I. Cherkes Ahmet was from Serres Macedonia. He was notoriously responsible for the murder of the well-known Armenian writer literary critic and politician Krikor Zohrab and Vartkes Serengülian during the Armenian Genocide. Ahmet along with fellow murderers Halil and Nazim were tried and executed in Damascus by Djemal Pasha in September 1915.
