  • Simon Vratsian was born in 1882 in Great Sala village of New Nakhichevan, Russia and died in 1969 in Beirut, Lebanon. He was an Armenian political figure and the last Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Armenia. After education at Armenian and Russian schools he joined the Dashnak party. He received further education at the Gevorgian seminary from 1900 to 1906. Vratsian returned to Nor Nakhichevan as Dashnak party worker and took part in the 4th general congress of Dashnaktsutiun at Vienna in 1907; where he supported the adoption of socialism. In 1908 he traveled to St. Petersburg to study law and education. He travelled to the United States in 1911 where he edited the Hairenik newspaper. In 1914 he made his way to the 8th general congress of Dashnaktsutiun in Ottoman Empire. He was elected to the party's Bureau and mixed with the leaders of the Young Turks. In August 1914 he was jailed as a Russian spy, but escaped to Transcaucasia, where he became involved with the Armenian volunteer units who fought with the Russian army. After the disbandment of the units he attended the Moscow state conference, the Armenian National Congress, and was elected a member of the National Council. Hovhannes Katchaznouni asked him to accompany him on his tour of Europe and America in 1919, but he was refused a visa by the British as they saw him as a radical socialist. In the same year he was appointed to ministry of labour, agriculture and state positions in Aleksandr Khatisyan's Cabinet. His positions carried over to the government of Hamo Ohanjanyan; he also assumed responsibilities for information and propaganda. After the resignation of the government and the failure of Hovhannes Katchaznouni to form a coalition, Vratsian accepted post of Prime Minister on 24 November 1920. On 2 December he handed over Armenia to the Bolsheviks. He subsequently went into hiding, and later emerged as President of the Committee for the Salvation of the Fatherland. He also appealed to Europe and Turkey for assistance against the Bolsheviks. Vratsian then travelled over Europe, settling in Paris to edit the Droshak from 1923 to 1925. In 1945 he presented a petition to the UN General Assembly at San Francisco demanding the restoration of Wilsonian Armenia held by Turkey to Armenia. During his lifetime he edited various now defunct Armenian periodicals and newspapers, including Harach and Horizon.
  • Simon Vratsian nasqué el 1882 a la vila de Novo Nakhitxevan, Rússia i va morir el 1969 a Beirut, Líban. Fou un polític armeni, darrer primer ministre de la República Democràtica d'Armènia. Fou educat en escoles armènies i russes, i de ben jove es va unir a la Federació Revolucionària Armènia. Posteriorment va estudiar al seminari Gevorgian de 1900 a 1906. Vratsian retornà a Nor Nakhichevan com a activista del partit i va participar en el IV Congrés de Dashnaktsutiun a Viena el 1907, on va donar suport a l'adopció del socialisme. El 1908 viatjà a Sant Petersburg per estudiar dret. Va viatjar als EUA el 1911 on va editar el diari Hairenik. El 1914 participà en el VIII Congrés General de Dashnaktsutiun a Turquia. Hi fou elegit membre de la direcció i col·laborà amb els dirigents dels Joves Turcs. L'agost de 1914 fou empresonat com a espia rus, però escapà a Transcaucàsia, on es va allistar a les unitats de voluntaris armenis que lluitaven en l'exèrcit rus. Després de la desfeta de les unitats, participà en la Conferència Estatal de Moscou, el Congrés Nacional Armeni, i en fou escollit membre del Consell Nacional. Hovhannes Qajaznuni s'oferí a acompanyar-lo en un viatge per Europa i Amèrica el 1919,però li fou rebutjada l'entrada al Regne Unit perquè era considerat un socialista radical. El mateix any fou nomenat ministre de treball, agricultura i possessions estatals en el govern d'Aleksandr Khatisyan. Les seves posicions el van fer mantenir-se en el govern de Hamo Ohanjanyan; també va assumir responsabilitats d'informació i propaganda. Després del cessament del govern i la negativa de Hovhannes Qajaznuni a formar una coalició, Vratsian acceptà el càrrec de primer ministre de la República Democràtica d'Armènia el 24 de novembre de 1920. El 2 de desembre va oferir Armènia als bolxevics. Tanmateix, hagué de fugir, i més tard aparegué com a President del Comitè per la Salvació de la Pàtria. També apel·là a Europa i Turquia ajuda contra els bolxevics. Vratsian aleshores viatjà a Europa, i s'establí a París on edità el diari Droshak de 1923 a 1925. El 1945 presentà una petició a l'Assemblea General de l'ONU a San Francisco demanant la restauració de l'Armènia de Wilson arrabassada per Turquia a Armènia. Durant la seva vida va editar molts diaris armenis ara desapareguts, inclosos Harach i Horizon.
