First Republic

Following the Vardanan Revolution, revolutionaries established the National Convention as the main organ of the republican government. The National Convention was originally created as a provisional government; however, competing interests and in fighting resulted in a weakened constitution, lacking a traditional head of state or government. In the absence of an official head of state, the President of the National Convention, as presiding officer of the legislature, was seen as the de facto head of state and government during this period. The role of the Convention president saw great turnover following the untimely death of inaugural holder Levon Zoryan in 1924. As the republic began to normalized, it began to function as a prime ministerial role; however, the young republic lacked a true executive. In 1927, the office of State President was conferred onto then President of the Convention Penyamin Mirzoyan. As President of the National Convention and State President, Mirzoyan and his successors wielded significant power over the government and the tenuous separation of powers began to collapse.
