Hovhannes Tumanyan, great Armenian writer was born in 1869, village of Dsegh in the Province of Lori, Armenia.

Tumanyan began his education in Lori, and then attended one of the best Armenian schools of the time, the Nersisyan School from which he, unfortunately, had to leave when his father took ill and died. At age 16, two years before graduation, he ended his formal education and returned to Dsegh to care for his family. At age 19 Tumanyan married and eventually fathered ten children. He started to write in mid 1880s and cooperated to Armenian newspapers and magazines. But he became known as a poet in 1890, when his first poetry collection was published.
