Biography
Khachatur Abovian is Notable.
Khachatur Abovian was an Armenian polymath, educator, scientist, writer, poet and an advocate of modernization. Reputed as the father of modern Armenian literature, he is best remembered for his novel Wounds of Armenia. Written in 1841 and published posthumously in 1858, it was the first novel published in the Modern Armenian language, based on the Yerevan dialect instead of Classical Armenian. He mysteriously vanished in 1848 and was eventually presumed dead.
