"ARMENIAN SPORT IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE" EXHIBITION IN THE MUSEUM OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
An exhibition under heading "Armenian sport in the Ottoman Empire" opens September 2 in Yerevan at the hall of temporary exhibitions of the Museum-Institute of the Armenian Genocide.
The exhibition includes 70 photos, documents, papers and magazines that present the history of the Armenian sport-clubs and football teams in the Ottoman Empire before 1915.
According to the notification of the Museum, the Armenian sport-clubs and sportsmen made a significant contribution to the development of sport in the Ottoman Empire; there were 100 sport-clubs in the Empire before 1915.
In 1911-1914 Armenian Olympic Games were held in Costandnupolis.
Sport newspaper "Marmnamarz" was published in those years, editor-in-chief - Shavarsh Krisian. It was the first sport newspaper of the Ottoman Empire.
In summer of 1912, two Armenian sportsmen Vahram Papazian and Mkrtich Mkoyan participated in the 5th Olympics in Stockholm presenting the Ottoman Empire first time at the Olympic Games.
From 1915 to 1920, most of the Armenian sportsmen fell victim to the Armenian Genocide. Most of the Armenian sport-clubs stopped to exist.
