Armenian Revolutionary Paramaz

The book in your hand, which examines the struggle of Paramaz, who was executed with his nineteen friends in Beyazit Square, and the Ottoman-Armenian revolutionary movement, sheds light on a history covered up by the official ideology and the socialist movement that could not save itself from the influence of this ideology.

In this first source work, Kadir Akin is not content with describing Paramaz and his friends, he re-examines the political conditions of that period and the genocide committed against the Armenians, using works that are the product of detailed research, in order to better understand their struggle. The fact that, in addition to Turkish sources, it also includes translations made from the relevant parts of the Armenian originals just for this study, increases the source value of the book.

As the reader follows the adventure of Paramaz and his comrades in the book, he will see that the Armenian revolutionaries described as nationalists are actually internationalists trying to fight together with the Turkish revolutionaries. Kadir Akin presents this adventure not as the history of the Armenian revolutionaries, but as a part of our collective struggle history. He embraces the Paramazs not as "the others'", but as our heroes, our revolutionaries.
