    One of the first periodicals of the Reorganized Hunchak Party, formed in 1896, was the “New Life” journal, which was published in London in 1898–1902. The issue of political education of the Armenian people was discussed on the pages of the periodical. The journal contributed to the development of the Armenian liberation movement and its effectiveness and addressed the most significant issues of the Armenian national life of the late XIX century. The issues covered on the pages of the journal were topical for Armenian reality of that historical period, especially those concerning the reassessment of the liberation movement, the role of the great European powers in the fate of the Armenian people, the importance of education and enlightenment in the national progress. The “New Life” periodical also revealed the negative phenomena in national life, rightly emphasizing that it is impossible to develop a true national policy without laying stress on them.

    At the end of the 19th century, during the rise of the national liberation movement of the Armenian people, the movement of the Young Turks – the Turkish opposition forces, was launched against the sultanate regime. The Young Turks sought to establish a constitutional, parliamentary order and put the country on a European path of development. Realizing that their forces were not sufficient to achieve this goal, the leaders of the movement tried to reach an agreement and cooperate with the subject peoples of the Ottoman Empire, including the political organizations of the Armenian people, who were fighting against the Sultanate tyranny.

    The main issue of the Armenian national-political life in the early 20th century towards which the efforts of Armenian national parties were directed was the liberation of the Western Armenians from the Turkish yoke. After the Young Turkish coup in 1908 and the adoption of the Constitution in the Ottoman Empire, the Armenian political forces faced a new task – choosing ways of further actions to protect the rights of the Armenian people. The policy of the Young Turkish government, as well as many issues of the Armenian national-political life, were widely discussed in the pages of “Yeritasard Hayastan” (“Young Armenia”) periodical of the Hnchak Social Democratic Party which was the main party organ in the United States.
