Mehmet Cavit Bey, Mehmed Cavid Bey or Mehmed Djavid Bey (Ottoman Turkish: محمد جاوید بك; 1875 – 26 August 1926) was a Dönme–Ottoman economist, newspaper editor and leading politician during the dissolution period of the Ottoman Empire. As a Young Turk and a member of the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) had positions in government after the constitution was re-established. In the beginning of the Republican period, he was controversially executed for his alleged involvement in an assassination attempt against Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.[1]
