David Bek
David Bek (; Died: 1728), was one of the most prominent figures of the Armenian liberation movement against the Safavid and Ottoman occupying forces. In 1722-25 with direct support from Mkhitar Sparapet, he headed the armed struggle of Syunik (particularly from Kapan) and Artsakh Armenians against Safavids, which led to the almost complete expulsion of Tatars (now known as Azeris) from Eastern Armenia.
