Kevork Aroyi Ghazarian (Armenian: Գէորգ Արոյի Ղազարեան) (1865 - May 27, 1907) commonly known as Kevork Chavush or Gevorg Chaush (Armenian: Գէորգ Չաւուշ), was an Armenian fedayee in the Ottoman Empire.
Kevork Chavoush was a legendary fedayee whose main goal was to ameliorate the plight of the Armenian peasantry in the face of harassment by marauding Turks and Kurds. To this end, he advocated armed resistance. Chavoush's extraordinary daring and valor inspired his men as he led the resistance in the region of Daron-Sasun from 1904 until 1907, when he was killed in battle. Kevork Chavush was known to have good relations with some Kurdish leaders of the region. He would openly meet and dine with them and at the same time, try to persuade them to not obey orders by the Sultan, who had hired the Kurds as part of his Hamidieh guards. This was in vain as the Kurds ended up not joining the Armenian revolutionaries |

1871 - May 27, 1907

Young people are just like trees.
They need love, care, and protection like trees need sunlight and water to grow.
Unfortunately, we have abandoned, destroyed, and corrupted our youth.
And instead of a beautiful orchard, we now have a dry and empty garden.
Today youth face many problems.
Poverty in Armenia, Azeri snipers along Karabakh borders, drugs, crime....
Armenian cultural and traditional values are being replaced by monoculture and business ideology. And worst of all, young generation loses the hope for a better future.
Advice to youth:
- Be brave and strong
- Help and respect each other
- Love and protect your country
- Do not give up
- Value your parents
- Learn your history
- Enlighten your soul
- Believe in God
