List of presidents of the National Convention
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 president saw great turnover following the untimely death of inaugural holder Levon Zoryan in 1924. The office of president evolved into a role of great authority and transitioned into that of supreme leader of the Second Republic following the assassination of Aram Nazaryan, in 1932.
