'''His Studies and Career'''  

Apostol Arsaki obtained his doctorate in Medicine at the University of Halle, Germany in 1812;  his thesis De piscium cerebro et medulla spinali" was written in Latin. Afterward, he studied Ophthalmology in Vienna and at last, he was appointed doctor at the Panteleimon and Colțea hospitals, Bucharest. He began his political career as Wallachia’s Secretary of State during the rule of  Prince Alexander Ghica (1834 - 1842). And when the Romanian Principalities, namely Wallachia and Moldavia, were practically unified, during January 1859,  under the rule of Alexander John Cuza, he became Foreign Minister (April 30-May 12, 1861). Early in 1862, Wallachia and Moldavia were officially and solemnly unified, and the Conservative Party assumed the administration of the newborn State: its leader, Barbu Catargiu, became the Prime  Minister and Apostol Arsaki assumed the portfolio of Foreign Affairs. Yet, the Domnitor, that is the ruling Prince, Alexander John Cuza, was a fervent left-winger; and the outcome of such a paradoxical situation was the assassination of the Conservative leader, B. Catargiu (a crime that remains unsolved - at least in theory). Thus, Arsaki became the Prime Minister of the Unified Romanian Principalities; but when he realized that his conservative police would never be approved by the Domnitor, and that his life was already in peril, he resigned and retired to a village near the Danube. It was there that he deceased, aged 80.
