In Autumn 1920, the Armenian army was severely defeated by Kemalist troops. On November 17. 1920, the Turkish army entered the city of Alexandropol and organized the Revolutionary Committee consisting of local Communists, which in fact became an appendage of the invaders. The residents of the city and the province were subjected to daily illegal actions by the enemy: arrests, confiscations of property, murders. All diplomatic notes or statements of the leadership of Soviet Armenia remained unanswered.

Arshak Chobanyan (1872–1954) – a writer, literary scholar, critic and a pub¬lisher – was a unique figure in the Armenian literary life. It is worth noting his respect for Charents (1897–1937) and his art. In his numerous reviews and articles published in the journal “Anahit” and in the weekly “Apaga”, Chobanyan highly appreciated Charents as a poet of national and pan-European value emphasizing his poetic innovation, which was reflected in creating innovative characters and forms.
