After his father 's death , Jamalzadeh 's life took a turn for the worse , but thanks to many supporting friends and to occasional paid teaching jobs , he survived starvation . By the time of World War I , still in his early age , he joined a group of Iranian nationalists in Berlin and , in 1915 , founded a newspaper ( '' Rastakhiz '' ) for this group in Baghdad . After remaining in Baghdad , Jamalzadeh went to Constantinople where he witnessed the Armenian Genocide and encountered many corpses during his journey . He wrote of his experiences and eyewitness accounts decades later in two books entitled " Qatl-e Amm-e Armanian " ( Armenian massacres ) and " Qatl o ḡārat-e Arāmaneh dar Torkiya " ( On the massacres of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey ) which were published in 1972 and 1963 respectively . During this time he also worked for the periodical '' Kāveh '' ( 1916 ) . In 1917 , he published his first book '' Ganj-e Shayegan '' ( The Worthy Treasure ) . An overview of Iran of the start of the 20th century , '' Ganj-e Shayegan '' deals with Iran 's socio-political and economic problems , a major contribution which bridges the gap between literature and science . In the same year he represented the Nationalists at the World Congress of Socialists in Stockholm . His later years , until 1931 when he settled in Geneva and worked thereafter for the International Labour Organization , were spent in temporary employments , such as one at the Iranian embassy in Berlin
