Vahan Minakhoryan (original) (raw)

Vahan Minakhoryan (Armenian: Վահան Մինախորյան; 1884–1946) was a politician of the early 20th century in Armenia. He was also a prominent member and spokesman of the Social-Revolutionary Party of Armenia. In 1919 he openly rejected the Armenian Revolutionary Federation decision to use regular army units for subduing Muslim revolts in Yerevan province of Armenia in 1919. However, he did not succeed in making this happen and the Armenian Revolutionary Federation continued its governmental policy of utilizing the national army to suppress the revolts.
