The Problem Of Armenian Statehood And Hunchakyan Political Party (1918-1921)

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, during the rise of the national liberation movement of the Armenian people, the restoration of national statehood became one of the priority issues of the Armenian social and political thought. There were fundamental conditions for this. During the First World War, the overthrow of the Russian autocracy and the collapse of the empire, the defeat of Ottoman Turkey and the creation of the First Republic of Armenia made possible to restore the lost Armenian statehood in the territory of historical Armenia and the solution of the Armenian Question more realistic. In that period, each of the Armenian national-political circles had its own point of view regarding the political orientation of the Armenian people, the structure, character, and territory of the national state.
