The magazine Marmnamarz ( Armenian Մարմնամարզ ) published from 1911 to 1914 was the first sports magazine of the Ottoman Empire and Turkey . The paper published in Western Armenian ( Marmnamarz means sport in Armenian) offered the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire an additional incentive to increase their interest in sport.
The Marmnamarz was published from February 1911 by the sports pioneer Shavarsh Krissian . It was a monthly magazine that provided the necessary information about sporting events, news and the results of competitions. The magazine also published photographs of various Armenian athletes from around the world.
Due to the outbreak of the First World War , the Marmnamarz published its last edition in 1914 and finally stopped its work after Krissian became a victim of the Armenian genocide from 1915 onwards.
