Etyen Mahçupyan (born 1950 in Istanbul) is a Turkish-Armenianjournalist and writer. From 2007 to 2010 he was the editor-in-chief of Agos, the Armenian community's weekly newspaper. He also contributes to the Turkish national dailies Taraf and Zaman.
Mahçupyan first studied chemistry at university. Realizing that earning a living would entail working under a manager, he studied business management, and finance—to get ahead, professionally and intellectually. He learned the Armenian language in primary school.[1] He is a graduate of American Robert College of Istanbul.
Mahçupyan is a Turkish citizen of Armenian descent who comes from a Catholic family. His surname derives from his great-grandfather's nickname, "Mahçup", meaning shy, embarrassed, or reticent.[1]
