1894 Sasun rebellion The Sassoun resistance of 1894 or also known as First Sassoun resistance ( ) was the conflict between Ottoman Empire ' s forces and the Armenian militia belong to Armenian national movement ' s Hunchak party at the Sassoun region . Background . The Social Democrat Hunchakian Party and Armenian Revolutionary Federation were two Armenian organizations of Armenian national movement active in the region . In 1894 , Sultan Abdul Hamid II began to target the Armenian people in a precursor of the Hamidian massacres . This persecution strengthened nationalistic sentiment among Armenians . In Sassoun Armenian nationalist ideas were proliferated by Hunchak activists , such as Mihran Damadian , Hampartsoum Boyadjian and Hrayr Dzhoghk . Conflict . The first notable battle in the Armenian resistance movement took place . The Armenians of Sassoun confronted the Ottoman army and Kurdish irregulars at Sassoun , succumbing to superior numbers . The Armenian Revolutionary Federation also played a significant role in arming the people of the region . Foreign news agents protested vehemently against the Sassoun event ; British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone called Hamid " the Great Criminal " or " the Red Sultan " . The rest of the Great Powers also protested and demanded the execution of Hamid ' s promised reforms . An investigation committee composed of French , British , and Russian representatives were sent to the region in order to examine the event . Aftermath . In May 1895 , the aforementioned foreign powers prepared a set of reforms . However , they never carried out , because they weren ' t actively imposed on Ottoman Turkey . In those days , the Russian Empire ' s policies vis - a - vis the Armenian question had changed . In fact , the Russian foreign minister Alexei Lobanov - Rostovsky supported Ottoman integrity . Moreover , he was so anti - Armenian that he wanted " an Armenia without the Armenians " . On the other hand , Britain had gained considerable influence and power in former Ottoman Egypt and Cyprus , and for Gladstone , good relations with the Ottomans weren ' t as important as they formerly were . Meanwhile , Turkey found a new European ally , Germany ' s Bismarck . The Ottoman Empire thus didn ' t feel threatened to commit further massacres in 1896 .
