Dr. Armenag Haigazian (Armenian: Արմենակ Հայկազյան, 1870 – 1921) was an Armenian educator. He was the headmaster of the Jenanian Apostolic Institute of Konya, Turkey. He received his Ph.D. from Yale University and returned to Turkey to serve his Armenian compatriots in Turkey. Dr. Haigazian had the opportunity to escape to the United States to avoid persecutions of Armenians in Turkey, but he chose to stay in Turkey and continue his ministry. Later, he, along with the Armenian intellectuals, was rounded up to be driven to exile. Dr. Haigazian died on the way in the prison of Kharpert, Turkey in 1921.
