I pulled one of the chairs under the shade of the big mulberry tree. There was a burning sun in the area outside the dark shade. Ökkeş was distributing tea with thin-waisted glasses arranged on a yellow tray.
"Welcome," he said, as he placed it on my desk.
While I was taking the first sip, Arogil suddenly appeared next to me with his donkey; he took the saddle and lowered it to the ground, leaving it on the grass so that there would be no mud; he stretched out his arms for a long time against the sun, his face was red as always, somehow drenched in sweat in this early hour of the morning. Who knows maybe. He went to the woods before dawn, he looked for a table he would like, then he took one of the chairs next to me and stretched his legs forward. He got up and took two more chairs from the side table, opened his arms to both sides and placed them on the backs of the chairs; When Ökkeş and her eyes met, he asked for tea. He took this opportunity and asked for a second tea. His outstretched arm was close enough to touch my shoulder. There were tufts of yellow hairs on his hand, he could not help but slurp his tea, he looked at the world with great pride, maybe because he was wealthy, he was always full of confidence, everyone who saw him was afraid of his big structure; he was also aware of this, people were aware of it. He was flattered to look at himself. He took a wrap from his pocket, between his lips. He squeezed it into a squeak; he began to smoke with delight. Our blond was frozen with a matchbox in his mouth and a cigarette in his mouth; I saw him take one foot off the chair in front of him, one arm of the jacket hung over his shoulder.
he rolled a corn-leaf cigarette with yellowed fingers; He brought it to his lips and stuck it with his saliva. Then he reached for the knife that lay on the table, picked it up and placed it lovingly in its sheath. Cigarette in his mouth, he hummed softly to himself: "...it rises and shines into my heart ... I steal and sing my world..." "Why don't you ever sing in my head, APO?" "Why?... Ighmm... Wait a minute..." He lit his cigarette with a match, glancing at the liquor bottles that lay haphazardly on the shelf, smoking. He blinked when his gaze met the kerosene lamp; for the flame of the lamp was bouncing as if it were alive, to the tune of the song that had just ended. "I just don't like the headline. Who rises in the song and falls into someone's heart? No way, such a thing. They enter the river and dive into the Euphrates water without fear, they make the fish miss..." He smiled again and broke out the familiar cry that everyone knows: "Iyeyt!" Then, quietly inhaling from his cigarette, he looked around at the faces around him. It had been a long time since I had seen them. "There is nothing more beautiful than the stars!" she said. Far-sighted Hasan disagreed. "Have you ever seen the sea, Alpine?" he said contemptuously, twisting the hard ends of his chestnut red mustache. asked. "Oh, I've never seen it".
"Then how can you say that? The sea!... There is nothing more beautiful than that! God created the world with his hands, but the sea... with his eyes ...". "Nonsense! What is the difference between the sea and the Euphrates?" "The sea has everything that the river has, even more. It has a gray beach… waves, warm water… The wind is warm, its breeze is never-ending. It is always like a never ending song." "There's this in the Euphrates, too!" "Come on! He's nothing but a long glass snake! He couldn't answer. When his heartbeat stopped, the poetic enthusiasm was gone with him. A serious anxiety permeated his words now.
"Arogil is coming," cried Abdullah. Alp laughed, pleased: "Good evening, everyone!" "Look at that bootie!" "He's showing off as erudite. He stayed in the city for a year and learned a little bit of Istanbul; he doesn't know a word in Armenian anymore!" "If you're going to insist on that, we still know that: ateriambu!" "Aryanna!" replied Apo. He held out his hand to greet, mimicking his well-known cry. "Ayeyyt!"
"Now you're going to stay here in the village, walking around naked and playing diapers in the cafe at night?" "I do not know." "What do you mean I don't know, you flat-footed you? I don't know, I don't know, I don't know! Doesn't a man have anything smarter to say?" he laughed. He was now leaning against the counter. He took 4 glasses and poured some drinks. "Do you want it, Apo?" Be careful, don't get hit, he said and grinned.
caught the hand that had just been wrapped in the glass. "Are you crazy? If the devotees catch you selling, it's a picture of you swallowing the pill dir!" "Zevzek! Coming from the city!"
"Besides, I'm nothing; nothing. Look at my face!" As he spoke, he set down his glass and quickly grabbed the small lamp. The light came undulating on this face, where it wanted to show them, and became motionless; revealed it. He squeezed his breath. Her face was still and strangely beautiful; but that wasn't what he wanted to show. His thoughts agitated in the whirlpool of the dual character of his being: "Look, this is how I am! This is me. I'm nothing. I'm nobody. Neither colored nor white. A man who doesn't belong anywhere. A man without sin. Someone who can't be held responsible for what he's done. A hybrid. Neither white, nor native… Ever." He slowly replaced the gas lamp. Their facial features faded in the dimness of the place. He grasped the glass, but now he had no desire to bring it to his mouth, knowing that he would shut up now. Accepting his fate had poisoned his evening. Apo broke the silence, trying to disperse the gloomy mood. "What wind threw you? You never left the house?" reddish gums appeared, his shrewd little eyes concealed in wrinkles: "Longing, perhaps..."
Apo scraped the counter with his fingernail. "You and longing! You're not a poet! Come on, tell the truth!" "I swear I missed it. When the river rose, I left Birecik. I went down to the Euphrates to fish. I asked my boat: 'Shall we take a stroll?' He said, 'Yes.' And we came here together. Even angels don't row up rivers, you know, but here I am." A few old men, skinny, flabby, yellowish-skinned, with a disfiguring, wiry-bearded beard, joined in the conversation: "I was on the other side to cut down a tree, and at that time I heard you calling from the turn of the river. Hey, I said to myself, really. He's coming too! Fresh news in the tavern today, you must go there! That's why I crossed the river, scaring the fish with my beard."
"You're a shame, if you put that burly beard together you'd even feed the fish!" The fisherman scratched his chin thoughtfully: "Don't rush! Don't rush!
"Oh, that's it, son. As you pass by, even the herons say to each other, 'Look, he's coming!' they scream! No one is surprised. I am surprised and want to ask you. Tell me, what are you doing here?" "But you did it, huh! To make a field. Corn, figs, olives, ..." He rubbed his hands merrily. "Wow!.. Unbelievable. Fisherman who will farm, plant something! It means there will be something to ditch again soon, then.
"Hey, hey, there's so much more for you to be surprised about!'
He shook his head skewered "goodbye to laziness?" "Even now no one can claim that this happened. If you'd just wrung your ass around and walked around before you came here, you would have seen the church being repaired, the great courtyard cleared and all the weeds removed..."
You see, you won't have to go to Halfeti soon anymore... Apo and Alp were not where they were before. While the fisherman was brewing, they had already fallen on the muddy road. This will be the last time, said Abdullah, look, don't make me feel like it again. Don't tell me, I know, you can do it, though you have never offered us to switch roles since we were kids. If we don't get married, the villager's mouth will not be a bag, he'll pucker up. Even if we're both men, they ask what they're doing in the bottom of the barn, we're grown up now, don't confuse this with the games we played when we were kids!
Alpinarian -seriously-remembered their first union, it lasted until the first light of the morning, for a while he couldn't hold back his tears, however he had a strange feeling of happiness, maybe the first few tries just got him "get used to it", because of the reunions at midnight and after. The wetness she felt inside made Apon easier to enter towards the morning, she also warmed up to the role she had been playing for about three hours, as if she had begun to receive the reward of the troubled hours. She was very happy in those days, but now she was tired of her "man"'s constant insistence, her offers were often rejected. In his own belief, he was talking about the people of Lot, talking about the death penalty for what they did, Abdullah; however, if there was a skin match between two people, it wouldn't matter if their gender was the same or different. However, it was now the end of the road, he felt used; suddenly Alpinarian stopped; "I'm returning home. If it's going to be like this, it won't be Hang on, "Abdullah, who did not expect this reaction as the spores of falling snowflakes slowly descended on his cap, froze, looked after him for a while, and then went to the street of three married people.
He woke up with the first lights of the day and hugged his coat to get the charred wood from the top, the preparations were completed. Mary was going to be his woman tonight. It wasn't that important that Alpinarian was offended; even if they wanted to soon after he got married, their meeting should have been short, this is the responsibilities of married life. Before she could get rid of the wedding fatigue, Meryem started to pray on the condition that she was two steps behind her. She should be happy.
On the wedding night, Abdullah was restless, as if he had cheated on his wife, he was combined with the feeling of guilt and the sadness of losing his friend. His union with Mary was as if he was a soldier who fulfilled his duty. would pass.
-ALPINARIAN-
CIBIN- 1914
Have you ever seen the inside of a mill in your life? I saw it, maybe there will be no mill on earth in a hundred years, but if you are nine-faced like me, I recommend you to see it. The windows of the mill are very close to the ceiling and are very small, so you can be comfortable inside, no one can see you easily; it is bent. The walls seem to collapse on you at any moment. Crop sacks stacked on top of each other in a corner. FLOOR filled in white sacks APPEARING... and the fragrant scent emanating...
Around the cornerstone in the middle, fine particles are constantly flying around, and on the other hand, there is a scratching sound in the environment. Here we had our first union, togetherness in this dusty noisy environment. While I was with Apo on flour sacks in the dark mill, accompanied by a flickering candle flame, I was now cursing myself for not coming into this world as a woman. he won't be in my life i tried my best to win him back, i stole candy secretly from my mother and even got my hairs while grazing the sheep, all i wanted was if he didn't want me, i have no hope anymore. i'm getting married tomorrow and i can't do what you want from me.. i can't waste my wife just for my own pleasure, i didn't know she would get this low. ..that means his only purpose from the beginning was to be with Satenik. At first, when I made a covenant, Apo was pleased and said that you have become like a real wife, every time he touched me, my soul would leave me, it was like entering a woman's body, what wouldn't I give to be in Mary's place! To be abandoned! it was difficult at first, it went to my strength.. ta k until that night..
I bought it until I didn't have one of my little yellow hairs that night, I took the duvet on my warm bed in the mill and closed my eyes to go to sleep, I felt the thick planks sway, the tiny windows above closed and only walls remained, the thick walls started to come over me and suddenly I felt a man above me. he had strong arms and he was on me, strong arms that I could not see.. Here was my first night with the man who took the place of Apon. I felt its presence at night. Sometimes Satin said why does she take her hair like snow, after that night at the mill, I was no longer interested in Satin, every time she came to me, I couldn't raise my arms, people around started to say have a child, Satin started to say you're like a wife, Apo is satisfied with his life. greet Our conflicts... I didn't know who to tell my troubles to, I didn't think they would believe it, neither our pastor nor the imam of the islams ... There was only one person I could share my secret with: Abdullah.
We met in their barn just like in the old days, he misunderstood me and he thought I wanted to be with him again. When I explained the situation, he didn't make a mocking expression, he didn't have a panicky facial expression. And there is even a pedophile, Alpine, one of the pedophile demons haunted you the night you lay hairless to look bright to me! These things have always happened to you because of me, my brother, we need to get you educated, but if we go to Hocasya, the rumors will go away. Let's meet at the mill tomorrow night, I will come to you with the ablution and the Qur'an. You take the Bible and we will read it together.
The next night we sat in the cafe until late, then the two of us went to the mill; it was close to midnight, we always looked back, we passed the cemetery of the Muslims before we reached the mill; Apo was muttering with his hands outstretched as he passed, with the light moonlight, the kerosene lamp in our hands could only go one step further. The door of his mill opened with a creak;
"He's haunted you here, isn't he, Iblis?" So we'll try to expel him here again, God bless you, brother, said Apo., and then, hanging the cloth bag in his hand down its hanging ropes, he untied the tie that his mother had fastened with a needle, through the small windows above the mill. A little bit of moonlight hit his face, Apon, at that moment I shuddered suddenly his face was chalky, as if there was no blood, my poor friend ...
He was limp from the distant howls of wolves and the sounds of owls.
Then he started to read in Arabic. As a child, he used to go to the mosque early every morning, Apo, we used to go swimming in the lake when we got out of there, and the continuation of the little frictions by diving to the bottom of the lake would turn into fiery back and forth movements either in the barn or in this mill. what did he read I asked,
- Kul e'uzu birabbinnas
Melikinnas
divine
Min şerrilvesvâsilhannas
Ellezî yüvesvisu fî sudûrinnasi
Minelginneti vein how
he paused after each sentence, as if he was suffocating, I thought the phlegm was stuck in his throat, when I approached to hit his back, I saw the red color in the small pupils; he gestured me to approach with his hand, then again in Turkish, taking deep breaths and coughing less after each sentence;
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious and Merciful.
Say: I take refuge in the Lord of men,
to the ruler of the people,
To the god of the people,
From the evil of that sneaky whisperer.
It is he who whispers delusions into people's breasts.
Both jinn and humans
now the hodja said let's go to the master's tomb and light a candle, Apo. The tomb was on the hill behind the mill, for some reason, after his prayer was over, his breathing improved, his face got a little bit of color, but I couldn't understand the small red dots in his eyes. When I bent over the flour sacks, my groans and breaths mingled when Apo opened his manhood behind me and came in hard, I would watch our shadows to get more aroused, and when I looked at his shadow, it would be from the light plays in the mill, his nails grew like a lion's claws; his hands were very long in front of me as he pressed my shoulders. I had a helpless, poor shadow. Of course, there was the concept of jinn in my belief, if I had to give you some information;
We didn't just have sex that night, maybe that demon or whatever his name was might have gotten inside me. These demons can be brought out of the person they enter; "Exorcism" certainly existed in Christianity; their sexual approach to people (sex), their support of false worship (religious) and their persecution of people (sadism-violence). There were warnings about getting involved in activities related to demons, such as approaching them in hopes of getting close to them.
In the Christian belief, jinn are powerful beings, they deceive people and use some people as mediators. Accordingly, what this psychic says may be true if these jinn are telling the medium the truth. Because the Bible states that the demons lie like Iblis. They can also harm people, so the Scripture says to stay away from anything related to them, any form of spiritism. Iblis is the same personality as the devil, I had heard from the priest that jinn were haunting women until now, but I did not think that a genie could be a pagan. Islams would get angry with me, look at what they said! and they would close the subject as if I came from ancient Greece. Actually, it was in our belief to expel the genie. Exorcising (commanding demons to come out of people) was practiced by various people in the Gospels and the Book of Acts: by Jesus' disciples as part of keeping Christ's instructions (Matthew 10); by others using the name of Christ (Mark 9:38); by the children of the Pharisees (Luke 11:18-19); By Paul (Acts 16) and some exorcists (Acts 19:11-16).
It is understood that the purpose of the exorcisms of Jesus' disciples was to show Christ's dominion over the demons (Luke 10:17) and to prove that the disciples were acting in His name and under His authority. This event also revealed their faith, or lack thereof. (Matthew 17:14-21). It is clear that the act of exorcising demons is important for the service of the disciples. However, it is not clear what role exorcism actually plays in the discipleship process.
Interestingly, there is a change in the war with demons in the last parts of the New Testament. The instructive portions of the New Testament (Romans to the end of Judas) talk about the activities of demons, but do not deal with their exorcism, and believers are not counseled to do so. We are told that we must put on the weapons of God to stand against them (Ephesians 6:10-18). We are told to stand up to the devil (James 4:7), to be mindful of him (1 Peter 5:8), and not to let him into our lives (Ephesians 4:27). However, we are not told how to get him and his demons out of others, or even to think about such a thing.
The Book of Ephesians gives us clear instructions on how to be victorious in our lives in the battle against the forces of evil. The first step is faith in Christ (2:8-9) which puts an end to the rule of "the ruler of the kingdom of the air" (2:2). Then again, by God's grace, we must shed godly habits and put on godly habits (4:17-24). This does not require exorcism, but a renewal of our thoughts (4:23). After a few practical instructions on how to obey God as children of God, we are reminded that there is a spiritual battle. This war is fought not by exorcising demons, but by certain weapons that help us to stand up against the demons' tricks (6:10). We stand against demons with truth, righteousness, gospel, faith, salvation, the Word of God, and prayer (6:10-18).
As the Word of God is completed, Christians seem to have more weapons to fight the spirit world than early Christians. The role of exorcism has largely been replaced by evangelism and discipleship through the Word of God. Because the New Testament methods of spiritual warfare do not include exorcism, it is difficult to determine what the instructions were for doing such a thing. If such a thing is necessary, it is obvious that it is best to expose one to the Word of God and the name of Jesus Christ. The Alpinarian felt an "object" on the night when he had removed all the hair from his body in order to be more attractive, sure about this object, which was certain to be male. And if he wasn't, was the object he felt on a human or animal or a spiritual being...
He used to eat at least three parsley every day to make his breasts grow, the village elders said that parsley was a milk maker for women; maybe it was the most suitable method for the soft fat masses to be absorbed instead of the muscles gradually disappearing from his body, his only dream was to have a more oval body and Abdullah Alpinarian's admiration was his attachment to her, even she wanted Meryem to think more about herself, Alpinarian, but at the mill she still shuddered as she thought of the mysterious red color in her eyes. While she was praying by the thin candlelight that pierced the darkness, the words had become frightening in the dark, like the vampires or werewolves of Transylvania lined up in her throat. On the other hand, Satenik was waiting impatiently for the wedding day, however, the most important issue for Alpinarian was to persuade Apo to go to the barn again, he did not attract much attention in the street with three married people anyway, Alp was sometimes even upset that there was no Islam, because the sincerity of an Armenian and a Turk drew attention; however, de facto solicitation. He had a holy book that said, "Kill the two men who do it where you see them!" she would have to, every hug would be a duty, even when she was with SAten, she would adore Satin and think about what she wouldn't sacrifice to be like her, to be hugged by a man's strong arms and to feel the hard and warm masculinity inside her as she was lifted up and down like a baby. ..
Alpinarian had experienced this with abdullah and was ready to sacrifice everything to relive those feelings; even satinik...
Armenians always had a privileged position in the Ottoman Empire. In the history books freely taught in Armenian schools where the Ottoman coat of arms, sultan's signature were removed and replaced by the independent Armenian, Hinchak and Dashnak coats of arms, the oppression of the Turks against the Armenians was mentioned in the schools and the poems of the Armenian poets that revolted the nation and the youth were hung in schools and schools. Even when it spread openly among the people, churches and schools became a warehouse of weapons and ammunition, and as a result of these, small uprisings started in various places from time to time, the state did not intervene effectively, not to resort to coercive measures against all these events was a tolerance, a freedom of conscience. The center of gravity of the Armenian events was the uprisings that the committees had started. However, Armenian events took place before the committees were established. Among these events, the Zeytun Incidents, which took the government to such a level that it took radical measures, draw attention.
Zeytun is a small town in Kahramanmaraş today. The revolts in this region started in 1782 with the uprising of the Armenians, who were uncomfortable with the excess of taxes and the way they were collected, and lasted for many years. The biggest revolts in the region took place in 1895.
The aims of the uprisings of the Armenians in this period were as follows: To ensure the immediate implementation of the reform project determined by the 61st article of the 1878 Berlin Agreement and to break the oppressive rule of Abdulhamit II. They also had a secret and most important goal, which was to establish an independent Armenian State.
- In 1890, Armenians brought weapons from Russia and they were used in the Sanasaryan school and churches.
The news of their acquittal was received and upon this, the soldiers and the police wanted to search, the committee members, who were aware of the situation, opened fire, an officer and two soldiers were wounded and a policeman was martyred. Clashes escalated and two soldiers on patrol were also killed. As a result, the uprising was suppressed and guns and grenades were found in the churches.
- While the service was being held in the Armenian patriarchate church in Kumkapı, the members of the Hinchak Committee took action. Revolt leaflets were distributed. And these were also read from the podium. With this declaration, which included the wishes of Hinchak, the patriarch was asked to be taken to the palace, to Abdulhamit. Collided with soldiers on the way. Blood was spilled. Artin Cangülyan, one of the ringleaders of the Kumkapı church turmoil, was sentenced to death for inciting Armenians against the state. But Abdulhamit commuted Cangülyan's death sentence to life imprisonment. Cangulyan was later pardoned by the Ottoman government. And it was used by the government against the Armenians in the Armenian events.
- In the first days of 1893, the Armenian revolutionaries wanted to spread a rebellion movement in Anatolia and thus to make the European states accept the existence of the "Armenian Question". This time, the Hunchakian revolutionaries wanted to create the feeling that the Muslim people also participated in the uprising. The signature of the Patriots and Muslims Committee was visible under some of the stickers affixed to the walls of the mosque. There were also harsh words against Abdulhamid in these labels. Armenians attacked postal drivers in the area, committed murders and engaged in robberies. With the beginning of the rebellion movements, publications on "Armenian Massacre" were started in Europe, especially in English newspapers.
- Sason is a district of Siirt province today. In 1893, the Armenians cut the taxes they paid to the state in the region and fired the officers and gendarmes who came here with swearing. The government sent troops to the region. In the clashes that broke out, Armenians lost 5 and tribes killed 4 people. Upon these events, the Armenians evacuated their villages and settled their families in safe places in the mountains. They placed their provisions in wells they had dug underground. They rebelled against the government with daggers, machetes, swords and axes. They tortured the Turks they captured by gouging out their eyes and cutting off their ears. They attacked women, they killed pregnant women by disemboweling them. Muslim Turks were circulated in the streets by wearing crosses around their necks. The Ottoman Government took action to suppress the rebellion that emerged with the provocations of the British. Since it was understood that the villagers had settled their families in safe places in the mountains, there was no harm in the villages being shelled, and half of the 5-6 hundred bandits who had been hiding there were killed.
- The Hnchak propagandists sent from the Hinchak committee, headquartered in London, to revolt, told the people of Zeytun to take up arms and attack the surrounding Turks, military forces and important towns, and reported that the necessary weapons and money were being sent by the committee. Upon this decision, riots broke out all over the place. Two thousand unarmed and four thousand armed Zeytun started their attacks. The district governor and 50 officers, 600 privates and commanders were taken prisoner. The captives were later killed by the Zeytun women. The general purpose of the Zeytun events, as in other events, was to invite foreign states to intervene, to accelerate the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and to ensure Zeytun's independence.
- 1895. The Armenians in Istanbul, who were criticizing the attitudes of Abdulhamid II and England and France, would raid the Port of Ali and in this way, they would make a big event and attract the attention of Europe to the Armenian problem and allow them to intervene. Armenians started to march on Bab-ı Ali in September 1895. The events escalated when military measures were demanded against the march. Abdulhamid II was against the use of military units against the demonstrators. Istanbul remained in anarchy for three days and blood was shed from both sides.
- 1896. The Armenian committees were stronger in Van than in other places. They brought here a large amount of weapons and ammunition via Iran and the Caucasus. As a result of the Armenians' revolt in Van, 340 Muslims died and 260 were injured. Among the Armenians, there were 219 dead and 59 injured.
- July 21, 1905. An assassination was made on Abdulhamit II by Armenian committee members in Yıldız. Nothing happened to the sultan, but the explosion caused the death of 26 people, mostly soldiers, and the injury of 58 people.
After the proclamation of the Constitutional Monarchy, the political and revolutionary committee members had to end their work and, as the guardians of the constitutional monarchy, tried to restore the country and raise it economically. The committees apparently decided on this, too. After the declaration of the Constitutional Monarchy, Armenian Committees working in Europe, political criminals, fugitives and vagrants poured into Istanbul.
Armenians benefit from the rights of freedom, justice and equality brought by the Constitutional Monarchy and fully protect their political rights.
they have. The committees apparently agreed and united with the Ottoman community from the outside, but in reality they tried to achieve independence and to develop Armenian ideals by using all means. Armenians opened libraries and clubs in Istanbul and other provinces, and by establishing village clubs and reading rooms, they aimed to raise future generations in terms of thought. The books that were put in the libraries and read to the public were the worst works that insulted and insulted the Turks. The committee teachers suggested that the Turks took the Anatolian provinces from the Armenians and that it is a duty of citizenship and nation for every Armenian to try to save their ancestral homeland from the Turkish yoke.
The freedom brought by the constitutional monarchy revealed the following result for the Armenians: There is no place for two different religions and two different nations in this country. Anatolia, especially from Çukurova, Eastern Anatolia will be either Muslims or Armenians.
Although the committees promised, they turned to these targets before the first year of the Constitutional Monarchy and started rebellion movements in various regions.
It was a sacred purpose for the Armenians to resurrect Cilicia and gather some of the Armenians here. After the Constitutional Monarchy, Austria, Bulgaria, Serbia, Crete movements and internal revolts were a good opportunity for the committees. It is the Armenians' goal to make an uprising by taking advantage of the turbulent situation in Turkey and thus to ensure that the Cilicia region is handed over to the Armenians by interfering with the foreigners. For this purpose, a large number of Armenians from different provinces were brought into the vacant land, and they were placed in Armenian houses in the towns in a cramped manner. According to the official records of the government, 12,840 guns entered Adana immediately after the declaration of the Constitutional Monarchy. Armenians started shooting training with these weapons in front of the government and prepared a gang of 200 people. With this gang, the Armenians started events in Adana on March 27, 1909. The Armenians passing through the streets of Adana by car randomly shot bullets, and when two Turks died, a conflict broke out between the Turks and the Armenians.
While the Armenian committee members said that 30.000 people died against Europe regarding the events, this number is 10.000 according to the official declaration of the province and 1000 according to the La Turquie Newspaper.
In the 1st World War, the reconciliation states placed great hopes on the Armenians. They planned to use this community, which they had used for their political interests for a long time, against the Ottoman Government. Armenian volunteer regiments were established and they were sent to the Caucasian and Iranian fronts, especially to take revenge on the Turks.
During the war, the states of reconciliation, by helping the Armenian committees as much as they could, not only deported the Armenians to the front, but also wanted to cause revolts inside by giving plenty of money and ammunition.
After the declaration of mobilization, Armenians started to cause events and rebellions in Zeytun, Kayseri, Bitlis, Muş, Erzurum, Erzincan, Elazig, Yozgat, Sivas and Van. We can briefly summarize what the Armenians did in these regions as follows:
- Attacking the Turks who came to their village, killing them by taking their money
- Attacking officers and gendarmerie units
- Attacking the government house, martyring the gendarmes
- Participating in the mobilization and taking up arms at first, then crossing the enemy's side and attacking our soldiers with our weapons.
- Cutting telegram lines
- Forcing Muslim youth who want to go to the front to stay with their families
- Spying on compromise states
It is possible to determine the aims of the committee members who brought out the Armenian events that took place during the First World War as follows:
- Arming every Armenian citizen neighbors Turks against the Turkish army and government
- To assign every Armenian from far and near to the revolution to be started, depending on the situation.
- Not joining the government's call for mobilization
- Those who supposedly participated in the mobilization will flee with the weapons of the Turkish army and form gangs within the country or volunteer units in the service of the Russian army.
- After all, when the victorious states sit at the table for Turkish peace, they will get the reward of these aims; the greatest support for independent Armenia will be received from Russia. When these events are examined in chronological order, both before the Second Constitutional Monarchy, the oppressive administration of Abdulhamid and the first world war caused the tension to increase constantly. Now, friendship and friendship were replaced by grudge and hatred, the events in Maraş and Sason caused reflections even in the village of peace, which hosts two communities, in Cibin; even if Hasan was not "hanging out" as often as before, there was a possibility that his heart would be broken due to the increasing tension. He also talked about going to Lebanon, and he thought it was wrong to build a home under these conditions. Even though there was an atmosphere of peace in his pocket, the tension outside had negative effects on people. Some of the Armenians in his pocket were called good Christians who were devoted to the church of love.
