Harutiun Jangülian

This article or section needs to be revised: The individual references generally need to be revised. To cite correctly, it is necessary to indicate the side. This is largely missing. In addition, for example, the book by Kevorkian, which has over 400 pages, is represented in the evidence with a single, but 6-fold quote. This comes close to not quoting. Finally, the spelling of the name should also be checked. I found “Haroutiun Djangulian” in non-Wikipedian English literature, the Turkish WP calls him “Harutün Cangülyan”, which is just another transcription. The current spelling is a probably inadmissible mish-mash of both. Hajo-Muc ( discussion ) 19:00, Oct. 9, 2016 (CEST)

Harutiun Jangülian

Harutiun Jangülian ( Armenian Յարութիւն Ճանկիւլեան ; * 1855 in Van ; † June 15, 1915 near Siverek ) was an Armenian political activist and a member of the Armenian National Assembly . He was best known for his commitment to the Kumkapı demonstration . He spent six years in prison. After his release, he continued his political activities and returned to Istanbul . During the Armenian genocide Jangülian was arrested on April 24, 1915 deported and finally executed.

Early years

Harutiun Jangülian was born in 1855 into an Armenian family in the Ottoman city ​​of Van, which was regarded as one of the centers of the newly burgeoning Armenian freedom movement at that time. There he joined the Huntschak party and in 1884 Jangülian moved to Istanbul . In Istanbul Jangülian went to the political activists Hampartsum Boyadjian , also from the Hntschak party. Together, the two became the main organizers of the Kumkapı protests .

Kumkapı demonstration

Towards the end of the 19th century, Armenian revolutionary societies began to campaign for reforms and renewed European attention to the Armenian question . The Huntschak Party held mass demonstrations to speed up the process.

The Kumkapı demonstration took place on July 27, 1890 in the Kumkapı district of Istanbul , where the patriarchate was located. Jangülian interrupted the mass, went to the altar, read a statement about the bad treatment of the Armenians and denounced the indifference of the church leadership. Jangülian drew a revolver and pointed it at the patriarch. He made him come along. Outside, Armenian protesters broke windows. The patriarch pretended to go to the Yıldız Palace to hand over a petition, but went to a shop whenever the opportunity arose. The Patriarch finally placed himself under the protection of the soldiers who had arrived when shots rang out. A gendarme and a soldier died. Jangülian was tried and sentenced to death. However, Sultan Abdülhamid II commuted this sentence to life imprisonment in exile. Jangülian was exiled to Akka in Palestine , where he was held in the Akkon prison on the fortress . He remained there until he was pardoned and released in 1896. However, some sources claim that he escaped.

Life after release

From Akka, Jangülian went to Cyprus , where he urged the reunification of the Huntschak Social Democratic Party, which was divided over disputes.

Jangülian moved from Cyprus to Cairo , where he was editor of the local Armenian newspaper Timagavor . He then moved to Europe, where he sought to unite the various Armenian political parties. After the Young Turkish Revolution in 1908, he returned to Istanbul, where he remained active in the Huntschak party. During this time he was elected a member of the Assembly of the Armenian Millet , where he represented the Gedikpaşa district.

In 1913 he published his memoirs on the Armenian revolutionaries and their activities in four volumes with the Armenian title Հիշատակներ հայկական ճգնաժամեն ( Memories of the Armenian Crisis ).

execution

Harutiun Jangülian was one of the first Armenian intellectuals arrested. On “Red Sunday” , April 24, 1915, he was arrested and sent by train to Ayas , a town in the inner provinces of the Ottoman Empire, where he was imprisoned along with other Armenian leaders. On June 2, Jangülian was relocated to Diyarbakır together with Rupen Zartarian , Sarkis Minassian , Chatschatur Malumian and Nazaret Daghavarian . Allegedly they were going to be put to a military trial in Diyarbakır; however, Jangülian was executed along with the rest on the route in the Karacur area between Urfa and Siverek . The order for execution was given to Haci Onbaşı, a member of the Special Organization , from Captain Şevket .
