Yervant Odian (Armenian: Երուանդ Օտեան or Երվանդ Օտյան; 19 September 1869 – 1926) was an Ottoman Armenian satirist, journalist and playwright. He is regarded as one of the most influential Armenian satirists, along with his contemporary Hagop Baronian. He is best known for his work Comrade Panchooni ("Panchooni" being a pun on the Armenian words for "has nothing"), a satire mocking the Armenian revolutionary parties (such as Dashnaks and Hunchaks) of the time. Born into a wealthy family in Islambol, Odian left the city during the Hamidian massacres of 1894–1896 and traveled throughout Europe before returning to Istanbul in 1909. Read more on Wikipedia
