Boris Kevorkov
Boris Sarkisovich Kevorkov (Armenian: Բորիս Կևորկով) (1932, Shamakhi – ?) was the first secretary of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast from 1973 until his dismissal in February 1988.[1]
Although an Armenian, Kevorkov was subserviently loyal to Azerbaijani leaders in Baku and resented by the Armenian community.[2]
In 1988, Kevorkov was removed from office. Genrikh Pogosian, who was much more popular among Armenians, took his place.[3]
