Genrikh Poghosyan

Genrikh Poghosian (Armenian: Հենրիք Պողոսյան) was the second secretary of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast who took over the post on February 1988 after the dismissal of the highly unpopular Boris Kevorkov who had ruled from 1973 until 1988.[1] Kevorkov was considered as subserviently loyal to Azerbaijani leaders in Baku and was resented by the Armenian community.[2] Consequenly Kevorkov was removed from office and Genrikh Pogosian, who was much more popular among Armenians, took his place.[3]
