Who was Tlgadintsi?

Tlgadintsi or Tlkatintsi was an Armenian writer and teacher, one of the prominent representatives of rural literature.

Tlkatintsi was born in Tlkatin village, nowadays Huylu. He lost his father at an early age. After he finished the Smbatian school in Kharberd, he dedicated his life to teaching in rural areas. In 1887 he returned to Kharberd and founded the Central National School, which became an important center of education in arts and languages. He served there as director for 28 years. Among his students were Ruben Zardaryan and Hamasdegh.

Tlkatintsi became popular after the success at being published in the two important newspapers of his day, in Masis and Arevelk. His literary heritage consists of novels, plays, poems, and reports.

Tlkatinitsi was killed outside Kharberd in July 1915, during the Armenian Genocide, "after learning of the deportation of his wife, his only son and his six daughters, who were never seen again". His complete works were published in Boston in 1927.
