From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vahan Terian (born 1875, Gandza [present-day Ninotsminda district, Georgia]), is a famous Armenian writer known for his traditional Armenian poems. He died in 1920.
[edit] 1916
In 1916, Vahan Terian published a bundle of poems entitled Land of Nairi (in Armenian: Yerkir Nairi), in which he uses Nairi in place of Armenia. Likewise in 1923, Yeghishe Charents wrote a satirical novella entitled Land of Nairi, using once again Nairi as a synonym for Armenia. Hayastan Yeghiazarian, interestingly, used Nairi Zarian as his pen-name, replacing his first name, Hayastan (which is what Armenians call Armenia in their own language since the Late Middle Ages) with Nairi.
