== Biography == thumb|200px|Siamanto on a 2003 Armenian stamp Adom Yarjanian was born in 1878 in Agn (modern-day Kemaliye, Turkey), a town on the shores of the river Euphrates. He lived in his native town until the age of 14. He studied at the Nersesian School as a youth, where he developed an interest in poetry. The school's director encouraged him to continue developing his poetic talents. The director, Garegin Srvandztiants, the noted folklorist and ethnographer, gave him the name Siamanto, after the hero of one of his stories. Yarjanian would use this name for the remainder of his life.
