Omar Faig Nemanzadeh (Azerbaijani: Öm?r Faiq Nemanzad?) was an Azerbaijani journalist and public figure.Omar Faig Nemanzadeh was a Meskhetian Turk and was born in 1872, in Akhaltsikhe, Georgia.
When he was 10, his family decided to send him to Gori gymnasium where prominent people of the Caucasus such as Chavchavadze and Stalin studied.
However his mother was a devout Muslim and she was against his education in a Christian school.
That is why he was sent to Istanbul and studied at the Fatih Madrasah.Omar Faig treated religious education skeptically and after two years, he transferred to secular Dar ush-Shafak seminary, where sciences and languages were taught and which had a reputation as breeder of liberal ideas in Turkey. In the last year of education at this school, Omar Faig began to work at a post office in Galata, and all magazines and newspapers published in Europe passed through his hands.
Namely this acquaintance with liberal European ideas had a great significance in his formation.
Approximately then Nemanzadeh connected with secret circles, with “revolutionary elements” of Istanbul, who contemplated Sultan’s dethronement.
Most likely, the young worker inspired by liberalism ideas provided them with newspapers and soft news.
In any case, one fine day police dispersed these circles.
Omar Faig Nemanzadeh escaped from arrest barely being in time for a steamship to Batumi.
