Armenian Sport in the Ottoman Empire refers to Armenian Sport in the Ottoman Empire. The history of the development of Armenian sport and gymnastics in the Ottoman Empire began by the end of 19th century, when the first athletic clubs and societies were established. Under the rule of the Sultan, being engaged in sports or athletics was strictly forbidden and those who broke this law were punished. ==First Clubs== After the coup d'état of Young Turks in 1908, the first Armenian athletic clubs and football teams were formed in Constantinople and Smyrna. In 1911-1914, four Armenian Olympic Games were held in Constantinople. From 1911 to 1914, Shavarsh Chrisyan published the "Marmnamarz" sports magazine. It was the first sports periodical in the Ottoman Empire . Its name ''Marmnamarz'' meant sport in Armenian. For the first time in the history of Turkish Olympic Games, two Armenian sportsmen--Vahram Papazyan and Mkrtich Mkryan represented Ottoman Turkey in the Fifth International Olympic Games in Stockholm in 1912. In 1915-1920, many Armenian sportsmen became victims of the genocide and most of the Armenian sports clubs were shut down. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Armenian Sport in the Ottoman Empire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
