Armen Kouptsios

Armen Kouptsios became one of the most trusted men of Chrysostomos and was incorporated into the revolting troops, which were active in Drama.

The revolting troops of Drama fought the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO) multiple times and caused them many losses.

Armen Kouptsios' death is connected with the arrival of the IMRO voivod, Plachev, in June 1905.

Armen Kouptsios with Nakos Vogiatzis and Petros Mantzas upended Plachev in Tsobanka, in Laurentian Abbey in Drama.

By that time, Turkish guards arrived on horseback, under the commands of a caretaker of Kalos Agros.

Armen Kouptsios was tortured to give the names of the members of the Organization, but he did not reveal anything, so he stood on trial in a special court-martial in Thessaloniki.

In 1916, during World War I, when the Bulgarians returned to Drama, they arrested Armen's father, tortured him, and left him to die inside a well.

[3] A marble bust of him was erected on July 1, 1967, at the Central Square of Drama; the place where he was hanged.
