 Firidoun bey Kocharly (1863-1920) - - prominent writer, literary critic, literature historian, teacher and public figure.
Kocharly was born in 1863 in Shusha. He was one of the first members of the national intelligentsia to begin struggle for the clarity of the Azeri literary language. Having collected valuable materials, he wrote a capital three-volume work "The Literature of the Azeri Turks" (1908). This work gave information about 130 Azeri writers and was an invaluable work of its kind about the Azerbaijanian literature at that time.
In spring 1920, during the Soviet invasion of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (1918-1920), Armenian dashnaks (dashnaks -members of the chauvinist Armenian party "Dashnaksutiun") pretending to be Bolsheviks, arrested Kocharly, who had no guilt, and took him to Ganje. After two days when special envoys were sent from Baku to Ganje to release Kocharly, it was late. Dashnaks killed him without trial.
