Martiros Kavoukjian (Գավուգչյան Gavowgčyan) was an Armenian architect and amateur Armenologist historian-archaeologist who has written various books on ancient Armenian history. He is best known for his national mysticist account of Armenian prehistory in Armenia, Subartu And Sumer, self-published in 1987 in both English and Armenian.
His works were lauded by Armenain nativist Rafael Ishkhanyan,[1] but mostly ignored in Soviet academia.
Studies of Kavoukjian have been cited in Armenian nationalist[citation needed] literature, including works by Levon Shahinyan [2], Rafael Ishkhanyan [3], Anzhela Teryan [4], Karapet Sukiasyan [5], Lily Stepanyan [6]. Armenologist, archimandrite Gomidas Hovnanian in a 2006 interview expressed support to Kavoukjian as "a talented scientist" who had written a research on "The ancestral home of the Celtic tribes and Celtic-Caucasian connections".

Armenia, Subartu And Sumer is inspired by the Armenian hypothesis of Indo-European origins. It seeks to establish an ethnic Armenian identity for the Armani mentioned by Naram-Sin, for "Armani-Subari connections" and "Armani-Subari-Sumer relations".
The English translation was published privately with the support of the Malkhassian Foundation, Montreal. The book is identified as a "chauvinist attempt to equate the Proto-Armenians with various mentioned peoples in cuneiform and classical sources" by P. Kohl and G. Tzetzkhladze (1996).[8]

This question has been considered in detail by talented scientist Martiros Kavoukjian in his "the ancestral home of the Celtic tribes and Celtic-Caucasian connections", and more recently Ruben Yegiazaryan has added his contribution to the topic with the book "Celtic symbolism and Armenian legend" (Yerevan, 2005, in Russian).
