He joined the Armenian national liberation movement in the late 1880s. In 1889, he went to Western Armenia, where he co-operated with the fedayee groups and Arabo. He participated in the 1897 Khanasor Expedition. Afterward, he was arrested a Russian citizen by Persian authorities and sent to Vologda (Russia), but was soon released. He became one of the organizers of Armenian self-defension during the Armenian-Tatar massacres 1905-1907. Arghutian was also one of the leading Armenian volunteer commanders during World War I.
