Bedros Kapamajian
Bedros Kapamajian (Armenian: Պետրոս Քափամաճեան) (1840 - Van 1912), was an Armenian citizen of the Ottoman Empire, a textile trader, and mayor of the town of Van.[1]
During the Second Constitutional Era of the Ottoman Empire, Kapamajian was appointed the mayor of Van on February 2, 1908.[2] The Armenian Revolutionary Federation accused Kapamajian of being a puppet of the Ottoman Government.[3] In 1912 he was assassinated [4] by Aram Manukian, a member of ARF from Van.[5]
