Lazos Dogiamas

All three of his brothers took part in the Battle of Kandasti against the Ottoman Army where the band of Apostol Petkov was also involved.

The band of Kapetan Kodrou was hit hard and fractured, leaving Lazos to reorganize and resume the fight.

[5] In 1906, Lazos Dogiamas and his band, in collaboration with his brothers, operated in the areas around Yenice, Karadjova, and Gevgeli and successfully rivalled the efforts of the Komitadjis.

In July of that year, he worked with the band of Christos Dellios of Gevgeli in order to locate and kill Apostol Petkov which resulted in failure.

Traianos was surrendered to the Bulgarian government and was promptly transferred to Sofia as he was still a formal member of the IMRO.

He went on to work with Gonos Yiotas around the Giannitsa Lake to combat the Bulgarian Komitadjis and Romanian Guerillas.

However, after some time, it became obvious that the new administration of the Young Turks was not keeping many of its promises and persecution against the Greeks of Macedonia resumed.

In the summer of 1910, Lazos organized a group of men and re-entered Macedonia to resume his operations.

[8]Following a betrayal in February 1911, a fierce battle commenced against the Ottoman Army by the lake of Giannitsa which resulted in the death of Gonos Yiotas.

[11] His body was retrieved by his mother and was transported to the church of Agia Paraskevi in his village, where he was later buried in its cemetery.
