This book delves into the struggle of Paramaz and his nineteen comrades who were executed in Beyazıt Square. In this seminal work, Kadir Akın sheds light on the Ottoman- Armenian revolutionary movement - a history obscured by Turkey's official dogma and the region's socialist movement. He delves beyond recounting the story of Paramaz and his comrades. Akın also evaluates the political landscape of the period and the Armenian Genocide by meticulously drawing from scholarly research to deepen our understanding of their struggle. As the reader follows the journey of Paramaz and his comrades, they'll discover that the Armenian revolutionaries, often labeled as nationalists, were in fact internationalists striving to collaborate with Turkish and other revolutionaries for the betterment of humanity.
Akın presents this narrative not merely as the history of Armenian revolutionaries, but as an integral part of the shared struggle and history of the region. Akın embraces Paramaz and his compatriots as heroes and revolutionaries, rather than just Armenians or "others."
