Paramaz was one of the organizers of self-defense troops during the Armenian-Tatar massacres of 1905–06. In Tatar settlements, he tried to promote anti-Tsarist sentiment and the vision that Armenian and Tatars should live together peacefully.

The resolutions of the convention were given to the Young Turk Government by a spy, and Hunchakian leaders including Paramaz were arrested upon their arrival to Constantinople. After spending two years in Turkish jails, Paramaz was sentenced to death along with 20 other Hunchakians.
On 15 June 1915 Paramaz with 19 other comrades of his were hanged in the central square of Constantinople. The incident is famous as The 20 Hunchakian gallows. Before his hanging, Paramaz declared to his executioners:[3] "You can only hang our bodies, but not our philosophy... You will see tomorrow on the Eastern horizon a Socialist Armenia".
