Khachatur Abovian
Khachatur Abovian (or Abovyan〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.abovyanmuseum.am/en/home-museum.html )〕 (アルメニア語:Խաչատուր Աբովյան); (disappeared)) was an Armenian writer and national public figure of the early 19th century who mysteriously vanished in 1848 and eventually presumed dead. He was an educator, poet and an advocate of modernization.〔Panossian, p 143〕 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 using the Eastern Armenian dialect instead of Classical Armenian.〔
Abovian was far ahead of his time and virtually none of his works was published during his lifetime. Only after the establishment of the Armenian SSR was Abovian accorded the recognition and stature he merited.〔Hacikyan et al., p 214〕 Abovian is regarded as one of the foremost figures not just in Armenian literature but Armenian history at large.〔Hewsen, Robert H. "The Meliks of Eastern Armenia: IV: The Siwnid Origins of Xac'atur Abovean." ''Revue des études Arméniennes''. NS: XIV, 1980, pp. 459–468.〕 Abovian's influence on Western Armenian literature was not as strong as it was on Eastern Armenian, particularly in its formative years.〔Bardakjian, 135〕
==Early life and career==
Abovian was born in 1809 in the village of Kanaker, then part of the Qajar Persian Empire,〔Nalbandian, p 61〕 and now a district of Yerevan, Armenia.〔Hacikyan et al., p 211〕 Abovian's family were descendants of the Beglaryan ''melik'' family in Gulistan, one of five Armenian families who ruled around the current day region of Nagorno-Karabakh. The Abovian family held the position of ''tanuter'' (a hereditary lordship) in Kanaker; Abovian's uncle was the last ''tanuter'' of Kanaker. His aunt was the wife of Sahak Aghamalian, the last melik of Yerevan at the time of the Russian annexation in 1828. His social origins and descent imbued him at an early age with a sense of responsibility to his people.〔 He was born six years after his parents, Avetik and Takuhi, married. He had a brother, Garabed, who died at the age of three.〔
At age 10, Abovian was taken by his father to Echmiadzin to study for the priesthood. He dropped out after five years and moved to Tiflis in 1822 to study Armenian studies and languages at the Nersisyan School under the guidance of Harutiun Alamdarian. Abovian graduated in 1826 and began preparing to move to Venice to further his education. However, the outbreak of the Russo-Persian War (1826–28) curtailed his plans. For the following three years he taught briefly at Sanahin and then worked for Catholicos Yeprem of Armenia as his clerk and translator.〔 While working for the Catholicos, the twenty-year-old Abovian met many notable foreigners, including the diplomat and playwright Alexandr Griboyedov, who was stuck in Echmiadzin en route to Tabriz in September 1828.〔Abov, p 28〕 Griboyedov's weekly ''Tifliskiye Vedemosti'' became the first paper to publish an article on Abovian.〔Khachaturian, p 29〕
