Abstract :
In January 9, 1905, the participants of peaceful demonstration of workers in St. Petersburg, Russia, were shot by Russian imperial troops. This gave an impetus to the massive demonstrations with political slogans and thus caused to the beginning of events that are known in historical sources as “ Russian Revolution of 1905” or “First Russian Revolution”. Rebellions, massive strikes and demonstrations spread the territory of the country, including South Caucasus. As a result of zeal of Armenian Dashnaks, the social conflict and confusion within the territory of the Russian Empire turn into the conflict in the South Caucasus and Armenian-Turkish massacre. The region turned into a “blood lake”. In Baku, Revan, Nakhchivan, Karabagh, Zengezur, Pembek, Ganja, Tiflis, Borchali and other places, thousands of innocent people were killed in front of Russian ruling structres’ eyes, 158 Turkish villages were destroyed and razed.
