Their roles as part of the Armenian aristocracy allowed them to have significant influence in both political and social spheres.

Ishkhan Ghazar Shovroghlyan was a nobleman who played a key role in maintaining Armenian cultural traditions during a time of great upheaval.

As an Ishkhan, which is a noble title, he was part of a lineage that held significant influence in the Armenian communities of his time.

Prince Astvatsatur Yenitunian, another important figure, came from the Yenitunian family, one of the prominent noble families in Armenia. This family was well-known for its long-standing influence and contributions to the preservation and growth of Armenian culture. Astvatsatur's work, both in political and cultural matters, marked him as an influential figure during his era.

They were instrumental in preserving the cultural heritage of the Armenian people while navigating the challenges of external pressures from surrounding empires. Their legacy lives on as part of the rich history of Armenian aristocracy and its role in the preservation of the nation’s culture and history.
