Anton Yervandi Kochinyan (Armenian: Անտոն Երվանդի Քոչինյան; 25 October 1913 – 1 December 1990) was a Soviet Armenian politician. He served as Chairman of the Armenian Council of Ministers from 1952 to 1966, and as the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Armenia from 1966 until his retirement in 1974.[1]
In September 1966, Kochinyan, together with Badal Muradyan, unsuccessfully appealed to the Soviet central government in Moscow for the unification of Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia.[2] Kochinyan was later succeeded as Armenia's first secretary by Karen Demirchyan in 1974.
