ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Armenian fedayi

Okay kiddo, let me tell you about Armenian fedayi. Fedayi were brave people who fought for the safety and freedom of Armenian people many years ago. They were like superheroes who protected their country and people from enemies who wanted to hurt them.

Fedayi were very smart and strong fighters. They knew how to hide and move without being seen, and they practiced using different weapons like guns and swords. They also had secret codes and signals to communicate with each other without being caught by the enemies.

The fedayi fought for Armenia when it was part of the Ottoman Empire, which means they were fighting against the Turkish government. The Ottoman Empire didn't treat the Armenians very well, so the fedayi wanted to make sure they were safe and free. They would go on secret missions to gather information or to attack the enemy's army.

Even though the fedayi were very brave, fighting against the Turkish government was very dangerous. The government did not like them and tried to capture or kill them. Many fedayi were captured or killed, but they still kept fighting to protect their people.

Today, Armenian people remember and honor the fedayi for their bravery and sacrifice. They are symbols of courage, strength, and hope for a better future.
