Siamanto

Siamanto is the pen name of Atom Yarjanian, born in 1878 in Akn, on the Euphrates; the folklorist Garegin Srvandztiants, the head of his school, gave him this name, taken from a tale. Settled in Constantinople in 1891, he left the city during the massacres of 1896 for Egypt, then studied literature at the Sorbonne and lived in Geneva. Having returned in 1908, he stayed in Boston from 1909 to 1911 and in the Caucasus in 1913. Arrested on 24 April 1915 in Constantinople and sent to Ayash, he was killed in the summer of 1915 near Ankara.
