| Krikor Zohrab |
Krikor Zohrab is one of the more colorful personalities of modern Armenian history. He was an engineer who studied and became a prominent lawyer, politician, Armenian community activist, and a writer of short stories depicting aspects of the Armenian communal life in Constantinople. He was endearingly called the “Prince of the Armenian (short) Novel” (Նորապէպի իշխան).
Matheos Eblighatian, a lawyer himself, had remained from his youth fascinated by the larger-than-life Krikor Zohrab, and devoted a whole section of his memoir (“A Life in the Life of My Nation” – Կեանք մը Ազգիս Կեանքին Մէջ) to Krikor Zohrab claiming to write “ what I know, have seen or been told I have been able to verify”. Matheos Eblgihatian’s memories of Krikor Zohrab make for a fascinating reading about the man and may be the most authentic account about Krikor Zohrab.
