ANN/Groong -- Writer and Patriot - Khachatur Abovyan (1239 words)
Abovyan was a 19th century writer (c1809-1848) who is considered to be the father of Modern Armenian literature, and is equally revered as a fervent son of a people without statehood.
Abovyan, according to the docents' account, accompanied Parrot on this third attempt to scale the mountain, serving as translator for the Armenian local guides.
Upon his return from the university in 1837, Abovyan was appointed as supervisor of the Tbilisi district school, a position that he held until 1843.
