An Armenian Revolutionary from Istanbul to Marseille: Kaspar Nalbandian

Abstract

Sivas, one of the six provinces (Vilayat-i Sitte) important for the Armenian community living in the Ottoman State due to substantial numbers of Armenians inhabiting the region, became one of the important centers of the Armenian revolutionary movements in the Empire. The Hunchakian and Dashnaktsutiun Parties were active in the region by establishing branches, and the members of Armenian political organizations from Sivas soon came to operate outside the province as well, in a very wide geography extending to the rest of the Ottoman lands and beyond. Kaspar Nalbandian, the subject of the present study, was one of these Armenians. Making extensive use of archive documents, this study covers the pursuit of Kaspar Nalbandian, a member of the Armenian opposition to the Ottoman State, beyond the borders of the Empire. In this context, the study attempts to provide insights into the functioning of the state mechanisms on these issues, and to present the journey of an Armenian individual to offer glimpses on the Armenian movements in the era.
