Yervant Srmakeshkhanlian (; 1870 – 1915), known by his pen name Erukhan () or Yerukhan, was an Armenian writer of late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was killed during the Armenian genocide.
== Life == Erukhan was born in 1870 in the city of Constantinople (Istanbul). He received his childhood education from the Nersesian institution, an old and shabby building serving as a school. Erukhan based one of his humorous characters in the novel “The Lord’s Daughter” (Armenian: Ամիրային Աղջիկը) on the school’s principal: Constantine Abantarian. As a student, Erukhan was said to be a lazy and weak student. He had a particular distaste for mathematics, saying that the first individuals that he detested in his life were his mathematics teachers.
