Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic
The governmental structure of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic was similar to that of the other Soviet republics. It is mentioned in the article 79 of U.S.S.R. constitution "The highest executive and administrative organ of state power of a Union Republic is the Council of People's Commissars of the Union Republic". The Council was formed by Supreme Soviet of the Union Republic, which was the only legislative body in a Union Republic and the highest organ of State Power. The Council consisted of the following positions:
Chairman
Vice-Chairman
Chairman of the State Planning Commission
People's Commissars-of:
Food industry, light industry, agriculture, finance, internal trade, justice, education, municipal economy, public health etc.
The Representative of the Committee of Agricultural Stocks
Chief of the Board of Arts
The Representative of the All-Union People's Commissariats
The Council issued orders and decisions and supervised their execution. The Council was responsible and accountable to Supreme Soviet of the Union Republic but between the sessions of the Union Republics Supreme Soviet, the Council was responsible and accountable to the Presidium of the same Supreme Soviet. The Council of People's Commissars controlled those branches of state administration that came within the jurisdiction of Union Republic. It issued within the limits of the jurisdiction of their respective People's Commissariats, orders and instructions. The Council of People's Commissariats of a Union Republic were either Union-Republic or Republican Commissariats. Union-Republican controlled those branches of the state administration that were entrusted to them and were subordinate both to the Council of People's Commissars of the Union Republic and to the appropriate Union-Republic People's Commissars of the U.S.S.R.. The Republican Commissariats again directed branches that were entrusted to them but were subordinate only to Council of People's Commissars of the Union Republic.

Neither Guloyan was spared by the guillotine of person cult: he perished by Stalin's order in 1937.[27]

Prime Ministers of the First Armenian Republic
On May 30, 1918, Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) decided that Armenia must be a republic under a provisional coalition government. It was decided that the Republic must have its own constitution and self-governing system. The government of the Republic was headed by Prime Minister. He was chosen by the National Council of Armenia. Later on the Prime Minister himself formed his cabinet. Prime minister was accountable for international, domestic and regional issues. The first Prime Minister became Hovhannes Katchaznouni whose cabinet was made up from five members, all of which were from ARF. In addition, a ministry of interior was created, whose first head was Aram Manukian. The ministry of interior was responsible for domestic problems. Its key responsibilities were to create public school system, railroad system, communication and telegraph systems, also it was responsible for enforcing law and order. All these responsibilities were controlled by a specific department, each of which became a separate ministry later on.
Prime Minister had direct involvement in regional and international issues. Hamazasp Ohanjyan, the third prime minister, and Avetis Aharonian left for Berlin trying to reassure the tense relations between Turkey and Armenia. Unfortunately none of them succeeded to accomplish his goal.[29]
The government headed by Simon Vratsyan had a short life (8 days). The government wanted to create a peaceful combination with neighbor countries and remove the country from the “whirlpool”.[30]
During the tenure of Hamazasp Ohanjanyan in agriculture and state property industries the important work was done. The government also confirmed academic Al. Tamanyan's and painter Kojoyan's project of national coat of arms. On August 10 the Sèvres treaty was signed and was created a United Armenia, which was a dream of centuries.[31]
During 1919–1920 the government had problems with a favorable state loans creation, giving state assistance to working-class people, encouraging the entrance of private capital, use productive taxation mechanisms. Also the government decided not to solve problems with neighbors with the help of weapon.[32]
The first prime minister of the First Republic of Armenia was Hovhannes Qajaznani/Igitghanyan. The economy at that time was in very difficult situation, there was no food, no transportation. The prime minister was sent to Europe and USA to find a solution of that problem. He was able to bring back three hundred thousand bags of flour, canned products and a lot of crops. He also was a victim of violence in Soviet Union.[33]
