Barkat Gourad Hamadou vs Hovhannes Katchaznouni

Barkat Gourad Hamadou was appointed Prime Minister of Djibouti by President Hassan Gouled Aptidon. He served for over 22 years, making him the longest-serving prime minister in Djibouti's history.

Barkat Gourad Hamadou played a key role in negotiating and signing the 1994 peace agreement with the Front for the Restoration of Unity and Democracy (FRUD), ending a three-year rebellion. The agreement brought stability to Djibouti.

Barkat Gourad Hamadou resigned as Prime Minister in 2001, citing health reasons. His resignation marked the end of an era in Djiboutian politics, as he had been a central figure in the government for over two decades.

Katchaznouni became the first Prime Minister of the newly independent Republic of Armenia on June 30, 1918. He formed the first government and led the state through its initial months of existence amid war and refugee crises.

Katchaznouni signed the Treaty of Batum with the Ottoman Empire on June 4, 1918, which recognized Armenian independence but imposed harsh territorial losses. The treaty was a temporary measure to end hostilities.

Katchaznouni published a controversial pamphlet in 1923 criticizing the Dashnak party's policies and arguing that the party should dissolve, as its goals had been achieved or rendered obsolete. This caused a split in the Armenian diaspora.

Katchaznouni died in Yerevan on January 30, 1938, under unclear circumstances during the Great Purge. He had returned to Soviet Armenia in 1925 and was arrested and executed or died in prison.
