Abstract
Garegin Nzhdeh (Ter-Harutiunian) was a prominent activist in the Armenian national-liberation movement. This article deals with his participation in the Armenian volunteer units organized by the Russian tsarist government immediately after the outbreak of the First World War. The author shows that Nzhdeh returned to Russia from Bulgaria to join the volunteers in October 1914. He first fought in the ranks of the Second Volunteer Group during the Russian thrust into Western Armenia in the spring and summer of 1915. Nzhdeh again fought against the Ottoman Turks in the spring and summer of the following year, this time in the ranks of the First Volunteer Corps. He returned to Transcaucasia in late 1916 and was active in the political life of the city of Alexandropol in the immediate aftermath of the Russian Revolution of February 1917. Finally, Nzhdeh took up arms again in early 1918 as part of the Armenian resistance to the Ottoman Turkish advance into Transcaucasia. The article sheds light on Nzhdeh’s participation in these battles against the Ottoman Turks, culminating in the famous battle of Karakilise (now: Vanadzor) in May 1918, which stopped the Turkish advance and helped in the emergence of an independent Armenian republic.
