Gregory "Ligor" Aristarchis also known as Aristarchi Bey, was an Ottoman diplomat of Phanariote Greek ethnicity, compiler of a corpus of Ottoman legislation. Originally a provincial jurist, he became the director of foreign correspondence of Crete beginning in 1861, and then from 1867 the Smyrna (Izmir) directeur politique ("political director") and vice-governor. He served as Ottoman Minister in Washington from 1873 to 1883 with Alexandros Mavrogenis. The Ottoman government dismissed him from his post. Sinan Kuneralp, the author of "Ottoman Diplomatic and Consular Personnel in the United States of America, 1867-1917," argued that his relationship with Midhat Pasha was the "more likely" reason why he was fired, while the official accusation was that Aristarchis misused money from a weapons deal. After 1883 he lived in Paris where he worked as an advisor to Alfred Nobel. After the fall of Abdul Hamid II, he served as an Ottoman envoy to the Netherlands, where he died. He composed one of the first collections of the Ottoman law in 7 volumes in the French language: "egislation ottomane, ou Recueil des lois, reglements, ordonnances, traités, capitulations et autres documents officiels de l'Émpire Ottoman", Constantinople: Imprimerie, Frères Nicolaides.
