[Correction] Bulletin of the Society for Near Eastern Studies in Japan Vol.23 No.2 (1980) pp.78b-78bOn the 3rd of July 1908, Major Niyâzî, who was the vice commander of the 3rd Battalion, 88th Rejiment, 3rd Osmanli Army Corps, in Resne (now Yugoslavia) and who was also a member of the Committee of Union and Progress, rebeled against the Osmanli Government. He, along with approximately two hundred sympathizers consisting of armed Osmanli officers, soldiers and civilians, went into the mountain to plan their revolt. The purpose of their revolt was for the re-establishment of the Osmanli Constitution of 1876, which was guaranteed to all Osmanli subjects. This rebelion was the birth of the Young Turks Revolution. The Young Turks Revolution was started by Major Ahmet Niyâzî and his sympathizers themselves with no order of the Committee of Union and Progress.
