Gregory Yeghikian

Gregory Yeghikian (1880 – 24 January 1951) was an Iranian Armenian playwright and historian. He was born in the west Armenia, studied in Istanbul and because of pressures of Ottoman Empire, he left Istanbul and went to different countries. In the beginning of the 20th century, he went to Iran and started to work as a principle in Gilan Province. Then he was recruited by Kuchik Khan, Iranian revolutionary and started to work as translator for him in the Nehzat-e Jangal (Jungle Movement). After being involved in the political movement, Yeghikian went to Tehran and started to write plays. Critics believe that Yeghikian had two different types of plays, historical plays and social plays. For example, his plays Fight Between East and West and Anooshiravan were his historical plays and Fear Square and Who is Guilty? were his social plays.[1][2][3]

gollark: Windows: "Universal" Windows Platform, Google: Chrome OS/Android apps, Apple: their Mac app store thingy.
gollark: Software support? Probably. It doesn't help that each OS vendor is trying to lock you into their walled garden now.
gollark: Arch is rolling release, and I think any breaking of the package manager would also likely mess up everything else *anyway*.
gollark: The AUR (btw I use arch) contains a *lot* of stuff, and if it doesn't I can sometimes wrangle a program into compiling from source from their github or whatever.
gollark: It's *automated* building from source, it's not that bad.
