Tlkatintsi

Tlkatintsi, whose real name was Hovhannes Harutiunian, was born around 1860 in the village of Tlkatin, some fifteen kilometres south of Kharpert. Fatherless, raised in poverty, he studied at the Smpadian school in Kharpert, taught in the neighbouring provinces and in 1887 founded the national central school of Kharpert, which he directed until his death. A master to a generation of writers, including Rupen Zartarian and Vahan Totovents, he was killed with his family in June 1915, on the shore of Lake Dzovk.
