Schahan Berberian
Schahan R. Berberian ( hy, Շահան Ռ. Պէրպէրեան; 1 January 1891 – 9 October 1956) was an Armenian philosopher, composer, and psychologist. Biography Early years Berberian was born in Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey). Shortly thereafter, along with his parents Retheos and Zaruhi and his elder brother Onnig, Berberian moved to Geneva, Switzerland to escape the atrocities against the Armenians perpetrated by the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II from 1894 to 1896. Returning to Constantinople, Berberian enrolled at the Berberian School, which had been founded by his father Reteos Berberian, in Kadıköy, a district on the Asian side of the city.

Instead he took up piano lessons although this venture was also rather unsuccessful. Berberian graduated in 1906. The first job of the fifteen-year-old ...

Armenians
Armenians ( hy, հայեր, ''hayer'' ) are an ethnic group native to the Armenian highlands of Western Asia. Armenians constitute the main population of Armenia and the ''de facto'' independent Artsakh. There is a wide-ranging diaspora of around five million people of full or partial Armenian ancestry living outside modern Armenia.
