Ștefan Agopian comes from an Armenian merchant family. From 1965 to 1968 he studied chemistry without obtaining a degree. From 1973 to 1983 he was employed as a technician. From 1985 Agopian was an editor at various literary magazines, including the satirical magazine Academia Catevencu . Since 1994 he has headed the Ararat publishing house.
Since 1979 he has published at least five novels and a volume of short stories "in which the medieval history of the Balkans is a literary refuge from communist censorship".
Ștefan Agopian is “as an idiosyncratic representative of the so-called Generation '80, which is considered to be post-modern, and one of the most important contemporary authors due to linguistic and narrative originality”.
One of his best-known works is the novel Handbuch der Zeiten ( Manualul întâmplărilor from 1984).
