From the pen of historians
Armenian armed groups entered the city on May 1 (1918) and killed 713 Muslims in the lower part of the city that day. Most of them were women and children. Houses on the ” Boyuk Shose” and “Bazar” streets were robbed. Hamazasp’s armed groups divided the city into four parts and created a separate headquarters in each part. The first headquarters was established next to the Leontev garden, the second headquarters was established on the territory of the Armenian church, the third headquarters was established on the hill near the Muslim cemetery, and the fourth central headquarters was established on the height of the Jewish settlement.
