THE REFERENCE TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IN THE FATES OF THE HEROES FROM SASUN IN M. GALSHOYAN’S COLLECTION OF THE STORIES “THE CLOUDS OF MOUNTAIN MARUTA”. “UNCLE TOROS” AND “THATTON”

Mushegh Galshoyan as a distinguished figure of the newest period of the Armenian literature, depicts the fates of the Sasun dwellers who had to flee from Western Armenia to Eastern Armenia during the Armenian Genocide in his story collection "Clouds of Mountain Maruta". People were united by one common goal: they settled down and built houses, but they did not lose the hope of returning home, they missed their country. Each hero of a story, living in a new reality, uprooted from the motherland and settled in a new land, keeps memories of Yergir alive. In the deep layers of each character‘s minds, those memories become so real and vivid that they unconsciously want to go back to Yergir, with the greatest urge to complete their unfinished life in the realm of dreams and illusions.
