Revolutionary Gono Azarov

Gono Petrov Azarov, also known as Hazyarov, was a Bulgarian revolutionary and an active member of the Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organisation (IMARO) and the Supreme Macedonian-Adrianople Committee.

He was born in 1876 or 1892 in Goumenissa, then part of the Ottoman Empire. Azarov joined IMARO and served in Dimitar Robkov's detachment. In early 1912, he belonged to Ichko Dimitrov's detachment, operating in the Kozhuh and Paiko Mountains. This detachment was armed by the Supremists around Konstantin Dzekov.

During the Balkan Wars in 1912, Gono Azarov volunteered in the Macedonian-Adrianople Volunteer Corps, serving successively in the detachments of Ivan Palyoshev and Ichko Dimitrov. He later served in the First Company of the Twelfth Lozengrad Battalion and the First Company of the Thirteenth Kilkis Battalion.

Gono's brother Dimitar Azarov was also a detachment member, serving under Apostol Voivode in 1902–1903. He fought in many battles and was arrested in 1907, but was amnestied after the Young Turk Revolution. In 1943, Dimitar Azarov was living in Sofia, where he applied for a national pension that was approved and awarded by the Council of Ministers of the Kingdom of Bulgaria.
