Anna Novruzyan was an Armenian princess who lived during the
Bagratuni Dynasty in the 7th century. She
was known for her great beauty and her knowledge and skills in
military tactics. She encouraged her troops to use what would be
later termed "guerrilla tactics." She delivered her famous
"Erjankouchan Artounkner " speech on Mount Ararat during the first
Russo/Armenian War of 650 A.D.
However, her decline was tragic,
because King Vartan from the house of Mikayelyan over took her
land, and made her a vassal queen, and that was the end of Anna
Novruzyan.
