| dc.description.abstract | The tense reactivation of the SDHP Aragats Chapter of Alexandrapol and its environs, in the mid-1890s was triggered by the anti-Armenian policy of Tsarist Russia. The Chapter had 6000 members listed in 70 groups, and a 40-member-strong paramilitary group. The Chapter's popularity and reputation rose significantly due to the vigorous struggle it launched against the Tsarist "Law on the Confiscation of the Property of the Armenian Church". This act of expropriation aroused indignation among the Armenians, since the Armenian Church was perceived as the main Armenian institution safeguarding Armenian interests in Eastern Armenia. The first mass demonstrations led by the Hunchaks took place in Alexandrapol. Masses rallied in other Armenian-populated towns of Transcaucasia too. The state reacted by conducting a spate of intimidating acts. The Chapter counter-acted by assasinating a Russian priest, Vasilyev, who was accused of converting Orthodox Armenians to the Russian Church. The assasination was the result of a decision taken by the inner circle of the Chapter on August 12, 1903. The assasination was followed by a more daring decision, to kill Prince G. Golitsyn, the governor of the Caucasus, who headed the anti-Armenian state policy. A party-member volunteer by the of Harutyun Zakaryan was to head the assassins, and the decision was executed on October 14, 1903. Three Hunchak hitmen attacked the governor with poisoned daggers on his way from Tbilisi to Kojor. Badly injured, the governor survived the attack, yet suffered mental illness. Eventually, on January 1, 1905 Golitsyn was dismissed and on August 1, the notorious anti-Armenian law of Armenian Church property confiscation was annulled. | |
