List of Famous people with last name Artsruni

Grigor Artsruni was an Armenian journalist, critic, writer and public activist, Doctor of Political Economy and Philosophy. Since 1872 he had been publishing the Mshak magazine being its editor and manager until his death.

Andreas (Andrei) Eremeevich Arzruni was an Armenian-Russian mineralogist and geologist. He was Grigor Artsruni's brother.

Meruzhan Artzruni was a Nakharar from the Artzruni family. He lived in the decades following the official conversion of Armenia to Christianity, but himself remained a Zoroastrian. When the Persian king Shapur II invaded Armenia in the 360s, Meruzhan and several other Armenian lords defected to Persia, a Zoroastrian state, joining Shapur in raiding the districts of Sophene and Akilisene. The Armenian King Arsaces II fled, and the Persian attack was successfully repulsed by the sparapet (general) Vassak Mamikonian. In many Armenian histories, including that of P'awstos, Meruzhan is seen as a traitor, and it is said that he was promised riches and governorship by Shapur. Some, however, contend that he saw himself as a ruler exercising his lawful powers to counter the growth of Christianity. He was killed by Manuel Mamikonian in 380/1.
