In 1900 he was chosen as a member of the regional revolutionary committee in Lozengrad. In the same year, he was arrested by the Ottomans and imprisoned by the so-called Keremidchioglu Affair. Later Aslanov was tortured. He was sentenced to ten years in prison and was exiled to the Payas Kale fortress in Anatolia, where he died in 1905.[1][2][3]
