Rupen Zartarian or Roupen Zartarian ( Armenian Ռուբէն Զարդարեան , * 1874 in Diyarbakır , Ottoman Empire ; † August 16, 1915 ibid) was an Ottoman-Armenian writer, poet, teacher, translator and political activist. He is considered one of the most prominent victims of the Armenian genocide .

Life

Zartarian was born in the Ottoman city ​​of Diyarbakır in 1874 , but moved to Harput at the age of two , where he was also trained.

Zartarian became a student of Tlgadintsi (Hovhannes Harutiunian), who was also a leading figure in rural Armenian literature and was later also killed by the Turkish authorities. He began teaching at the age of 18 and worked in education for the following decade, initially at Tlgandintsi's facility. He then spent three years in French religious institutes.

In 1903 he was arrested by the Turkish government and forced to leave the country because of his political activities. He settled in Bulgaria in 1906 and started a newspaper called Razmig (Ռազմիկ). In it he called on the Armenians who lived outside their homeland to strive for an autonomous Armenia . After the Young Turkish Revolution in 1908, he returned to Constantinople with numerous other Armenian intellectuals . A year later he worked for the newspaper Azadamard (Ազատամարտ) while teaching at the Central College (Կեդրոնական Վարժարան).

During the Armenian genocide, Zartarian was kidnapped to Ayas and imprisoned on May 5th. He was later abducted by a military escort to Diyarbakır to appear before a court martial, and was killed by Çerkez Ahmet and Lieutenant Halil and Nazım at the village of Karacaören shortly before his arrival.
