Aram Manukian

Aram Manukian (19 March 1879 – 29 January 1919) was an Armenian revolutionary, statesman, and leading member of the nationalist Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) party. During World War I, he led the successful Armenian civilian self-defense of Van. As a result, tens of thousands avoided being deported and massacred by the Turkish government while the Armenian Genocide was underway.
