1915 was a special year not only because of the great disaster, but also because of the manifestation of the fighting spirit of Van Armenians. As a result of its heroic struggle, Van became perhaps a city-state. Alas, the heroes who created this independence did not have a chance to enjoy the fruits of their struggle. After a short time, in a situation not clear for them, Van Armenians left their Holy of Holies and took the staff of the refugee. It really was a mockery of fate.
Van Armenians rebelled against the anti-Armenian Ottoman policy "at the dawn" of the Armenian Genocide. Three heroic battles can be highlighted in their self-defense struggle.
