Abstract
The essay is a survey of the military role of the Armenians in the proclamation of and the ensuing struggle for the 1906 Constitution of Iran. It highlights the share the Armenians had in consolidating the power of the constitutional forces in the aftermath of the Constitutional revolt, between the years 1906 and 1911.
The author lists the names of the 55 Armenians who were killed in action, fighting for the constitution against the monarchists. Their leader, Yeprem Khan, headed the internal security forces of the country.
A staunch defender of the constitution, Yeprem Khan recruited a number of Armenians. He was instrumental in subduing the
counter-revolutionaries. These had taken under their control Hamadan and were heading for Tehran. Yeprem Khan confronted them near the village of Behar. In this ferocious battle the monarchists lost 250 dead and 150 were taken prisoner. The constitutionalists had 30 casualties between dead and injured. Yeprem khan was killed in this battle.
