- Description
- This article traces the history of the Aintab Hunchakian branch. The Hunchakian Revolutionary Party was one of the first Armenian political organizations. The party's activity was not limited to Eastern Anatolia but also extended to the region of Cilicia. Philipos Sarkisian and Avedis Shishmanian from Zeitun (both graduates of Murad Rafaelian in Istanbul) were the first Hunchak members who actively operated in Aintab. The Aintab branch of the Hunchakian movement had robust organizational structure and military discipline. As a result of significant efforts, a powerful organization was established in a short period of time. The Aintab branch came into prominence in 1890-92 and the nationalist Armenian youth of Aintab was directly involved in this movement or sympathetic to the Hunchaks.
