Comment

Yéghiché (Élisée) Tcharents (Armenian Եղիշե Չարենց, Tcharents meaning "of what is evil" in grabar), born Soghomonian on March 13, 1897 in Kars and assassinated on November 27, 1937 in Yerevan, was an Armenian poet. A poet who was beheaded in his amputated homeland and died at the age of 40, the poet of the Pays Naïri is considered the father of modern Armenian literature. (Source : www.wikipedia.org)
