During the Hamidian massacres , Bedros Parian lost his parents which would make him pursue the national movement even more staunchly . The Ottoman Bank takeover was his brainchild , which he came up with after the murder of his parents . The ARF made Papken Siuni the leader and mastermind of the operation . He would secure pistols , grenades and other weapons which he would personally give to his comrades who were to be involved in the operation . The night before the takeover , he gave his men a passionate speech stating in Armenian about the Armenian cause and how their blood would not go in vain
