YEREVAN–The Central Executive of Hamazkayin Armenian Educational and Cultural Foundation sadly announces the death of Roupen Aghbalian–the son of Nigol Aghbalian–former Education Minister of Armenia–founder of Armenia’s State University–and co-founder of Hamazkayin. Roupen Aghbalian passed away on November 4–in Yerevan–Armenia.
It is important to remember that Nigol Aghbalian was forced to live outside of Armenia–apart from his wife–children–and his country–and until his death–he lived every day constantly longing for his family. Letters from his wife and children caused him much sorrow and pain.
