== | |||
From the 5th century CE to until 1924, Vardana was ruled by the King of Vardana, intervening kingdoms and empires. Since 1924, Vardana has been a republic, though its head of state has varied from de facto head of state due to an accumulation of other civil or military offices to an elected role. Currently the head of state is held collectivly by the nine elected members of the [[Directory of Vardana]]. | |||

Following the [[Vardanan Revolution]], revolutionaries established the [[National Congress (Vardana)|National Congress]] as the main organ of the republican government. The National Congress 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 Congress, as presiding officer of the legislature, was seen as the de facto head of state and government during this period. The role of the Congress 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 1930, the office of State President was created, and in 1932 was held concurrently by David Sargsyan when he assumed the role of President of the Congress. As President of the National Congress and State President, Sargsyan and his successors wielded significant power over the government and the tenuous separation of powers began to collapse. National Congress elections were ultimately suspended by President Agajanian in 1949, enabling Sargsyan to fill vacancies by appointment or special election with strict restrictions on candidacy. By 1952, Agajanian was faced with a coup attempt from opposition within his own party, as well as other opposition parties. In 1953, a second coup was launched, this time led by Governor of Bayazet [[Margos Giragossian]], with support of the members of the Armed Forces high command. Though the coup was not initially successful, the ensuing civil war resulted in Agajanian fleeing Vardana in 1955 where he briefly maintained a government-in-exile, based in [[Maktarim]], [[Talahara]] . | |||

===Najaryanid Vardana=== | |||
{{main|Paramount Leader of Vardana}} | |||
The 1954 coup was launched against then President Agajanian by disaffected members of the Armed Forces and local governments. Governor of Bayzet Margos Giragossian, quickly became the public leader of the resistance leading up the coup due to an open letter he issued calling for safeguards against executive tyranny. On 31 September 1954, General Samuel Najaryan initiated a palace coup in an attempt to apprehend President Agajanian. While the coup failed to capture Agajanian in an early morning raid, Najaryan began to secure Hrazdan with the support of Governor Giragossian. The ensuing civil war lasted until 1957, though Agajanian fled Vardana for the [[Messidor Union]] on 11 July 1955 and the military proclaimed Giragossian as President. Giragossian died during the subsequent constitutional convention and General Samuel Najaryan assumed executive power. | |||
| | In the period known as Najaryanid Vardana, Samuel Najaryan's office was primarily referred to as Paramount Leader. Leader Najaryan retained his station as leader of the armed forces and held power as dictator for nearly 30 years. In 1981, Najaryan announced his succession plans. Many observers speculated he would name his son-in-law [[Arman Boghossian]] his successor, instead Najaryan declared that the heir to the [[Monarchy of Vardana#Mysian claim|Mysia-Nyrundy claim]] would assume control of the state, following a regency period led by Boghossian. In 1982, [[Irene II of Aretias|Irene of Nyrundy]] was speculated as the heir following negotiations between Najaryan and Stephen VI, Elector of Nyrundy. Upon Najaryan's death, [[Arman Boghossian]], who was appointed President of the Regency, announced that the monarchy would not be restored following a coup and brief civil war. | ||

This is a list of heads of state of Vardana, from the establishment of the first Greater Vardanan Kingdom to the present Second Republic.
From the 5th century CE to until 1924, Vardana was ruled by the King of Vardana, intervening kingdoms and empires. Since 1924, Vardana has been a republic, though its head of state has varied from de facto head of state due to an accumulation of other civil or military offices to an elected role. Currently the head of state is held collectivly by the nine elected members of the Directory of Vardana.
List of monarchs of Vardana
First Republic
President of the National Congress
Following the Vardanan Revolution, revolutionaries established the National Congress as the main organ of the republican government. The National Congress 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 Congress, as presiding officer of the legislature, was seen as the de facto head of state and government during this period. The role of the Congress 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 1930, the office of State President was created, and in 1932 was held concurrently by David Sargsyan when he assumed the role of President of the Congress. As President of the National Congress and State President, Sargsyan and his successors wielded significant power over the government and the tenuous separation of powers began to collapse. National Congress elections were ultimately suspended by President Agajanian in 1949, enabling Sargsyan to fill vacancies by appointment or special election with strict restrictions on candidacy. By 1952, Agajanian was faced with a coup attempt from opposition within his own party, as well as other opposition parties. In 1953, a second coup was launched, this time led by Governor of Bayazet Margos Giragossian, with support of the members of the Armed Forces high command. Though the coup was not initially successful, the ensuing civil war resulted in Agajanian fleeing Vardana in 1955 where he briefly maintained a government-in-exile, based in Maktarim, Talahara .

Najaryanid Vardana
The 1954 coup was launched against then President Agajanian by disaffected members of the Armed Forces and local governments. Governor of Bayzet Margos Giragossian, quickly became the public leader of the resistance leading up the coup due to an open letter he issued calling for safeguards against executive tyranny. On 31 September 1954, General Samuel Najaryan initiated a palace coup in an attempt to apprehend President Agajanian. While the coup failed to capture Agajanian in an early morning raid, Najaryan began to secure Hrazdan with the support of Governor Giragossian. The ensuing civil war lasted until 1957, though Agajanian fled Vardana for the Messidor Union on 11 July 1955 and the military proclaimed Giragossian as President. Giragossian died during the subsequent constitutional convention and General Samuel Najaryan assumed executive power.
In the period known as Najaryanid Vardana, Samuel Najaryan's office was primarily referred to as Paramount Leader. Leader Najaryan retained his station as leader of the armed forces and held power as dictator for nearly 30 years. In 1981, Najaryan announced his succession plans. Many observers speculated he would name his son-in-law Arman Boghossian his successor, instead Najaryan declared that the heir to the Mysia-Nyrundy claim would assume control of the state, following a regency period led by Boghossian. In 1982, Irene of Nyrundy was speculated as the heir following negotiations between Najaryan and Stephen VI, Elector of Nyrundy. Upon Najaryan's death, Arman Boghossian, who was appointed President of the Regency, announced that the monarchy would not be restored following a coup and brief civil war.
