In the last two centuries, in Armenian historiography, the issue of joining Eastern Armenia to Russia, due to socio-political, ideological, and sometimes simply due to propaganda expediency, was assessed differently. This event was rated from the greatest good for the Armenian people to the least of evils, down to evil. Joining Eastern Armenia to Russia and the subsequent processes of its historical fate convince us that Russian rule was objectively progressive for Armenia and Armenians.

One of the important fundamental issues of Armenian historiography is the periodization of Armenian history, which undoubtedly contributes to the systematized presentation of the historical past of Armenia and the Armenian people, to the improvement of the level of scientific research and to the disclosure of historical truth. The rich written heritage of Armenian historiographers gives grounds to affirm that attempts to periodize the history of Armenia were undertaken from the very beginning.
