Bedros Kapamajian (Armenian: ) (1840 – Van 1912), was an Armenian citizen of the Ottoman Empire, a textile trader, and mayor of the town of Van.〔By Y. G. Çarkçıyan, (1953), "Armenians working for the Ottoman Empire between 1453-1953 (tr:Türk devleti hizmetinde Ermeniler, 1453-1953) 302 pages.〕 Kapamajian was appointed the mayor of Van on February 2, 1908.〔BOA İrade Taltifat, 1325. Za/111.〕 The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (a.k.a ARF) accused Kapamajian of being a puppet of the Ottoman Government.〔By Altan Deliorman, "Türklere Karsi Ermeni Komitecileri" Published 1973 Boğaziçi Basım ve Yayınevi 335 pages〕 According to Turkish sources, Kapamajian was executed with two gun shot wounds in the head by ARF leader Aram Manukian and his ARF fellows in 1912.〔Hüseyin Çelik, ‘The 1915 Armenian Revolt in Van: Eyewitness Testimony’, in The Armenians in the Late Ottoman Period, pp. 91-92.〕 In his research, Turkish Historian Hasan Oktay states that the perpetrators of his murder were arrested and charged with "encouraging murder." However, the perpetrators were later released and murder charges were dropped, as the case was later highly politicized by ARF. ==References== 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「Bedros Kapamajian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
