Vahan Minakhoryan

Vahan Minakhoryan (Armenian: Վահան Մինախորյան; 1884–1946) was a politician of the early 20th century in Armenia.

[1] 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.

He also believed that this will prevent and protect any sort of unjustified Turkish and Azeri actions against Armenia in the future.

These ideas were taken as absurd by governing Armenian Revolutionary Federation leadership at the time.
