  • Tovmas Nazarbekian (Nazarbekov), (b. 1855 Tbilisi – d. 1931 Tbilisi), was an Armenian general in the Russian Caucasus Army that appointed as the governor of the Administration for Western Armenia and later promoted to Commander-in-chief of Democratic Republic of Armenia. He was born to a wealthy Russianized family of Armenian descent. He attended military academy in Moscow. His early military involvements include the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878 and the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Before the break of World War One, he was appointed as a general to fight in the Caucasus, initially at the Persian Campaign. His military achievements include Battle of Dilman over Khalil Pasha. He also commanded the forces that took the Bitlis, in the dead of winter, had taken his army down through the mountains of east Anatolia to the plain of Mush. He engaged with the Ottoman 3rd Army at the Battle of Mush and captured the city Mush. Later he moved toward Bitlis. The success in Battle of Bitlis set the furthermost position into the Anatolia. These military achievements set the wonderment of military critics both in Europe and America. At this position, he supported the British Mesopotamian Army by disturbing the support lines. He established the outposts which made possible the further advance of the British in the Mesopotamian campaign. Undoubtedly the army would now be beyond Bitlis and in close co-operation with the British General Marshal. General Nazarbekoff, for his wonderful feat, had been decorated by the French Government. In 1917, the chaos caused by the Russian Revolution put a stop to all Russian military operations and the regular Russian regiments deserted the frontline. In this situation, December 1917, the Armenian volunteer units realigned themselves under the command of Nazarbekian, with Dro as a civilian commissioner. Tiflis collected 50,000 force under Nazarbekoff. In December 5, 1917, the Special Transcaucasian Committee negotiated with the 3rd Army the "Erzincan Cease-fire Agreement" which froze the conflicts till February 7 1918. Between December to February 7 the regiments of the Armenian Corps were immediately hustled off to the front. With the help of their Christian neighbors, Armenian forces increased its size until they have 150,000 armed men on the border. By the end of January, 1918, Nazarbekian's divisions occupied the major posts from Yerevan to Van and Erzinjan. In the following conflicts, he was driven back to Dilidjan in May 1918. However, he pushed the advancing Ottoman 3rd Army back for a few days, giving the Armenian forces time to prepare for the Battle of Sardarapat.. During Sovietization of the Republic, he was arrested with other Armenian officers in January 1921, but released four months later. He settled in Tbilisi, where he remained till his death in 1931.
  • Appartenente ad una famiglia benestante di origine armena, Tovmas Nazarbekian studiò all'accademia militare di Mosca ed ebbe le prime esperienze di guerra durante la guerra turco-russa del 1877-1878, mentre in seguito prese parte anche alla guerra russo-giapponese del 1904-1905, nella quale venne decorato con la Croce e la Sciabola di San Giorgio. Prima dello scoppio della prima guerra mondiale venne nominato generale ed assegnato all'Armata del Caucaso, inizialmente nel settore persiano del fronte del Caucaso. Ottenne una importante vittoria nella battaglia di Dilman, dove sconfisse Khalil Pasha; egli fu inoltre al comando delle truppe che conquistarono Bitlis durante l'offensiva invernale russa del febbraio-marzo 1916. Costretto ad abbandonare la città durante la controffensiva operata dal XVI corpo turco comandato da Mustafa Kemal, Nazarbekov dovette rinunciare ad ulteriori operazioni nella zona di Bitlis a causa dello scoppio della rivoluzione russa nella primavera del 1917.
