After the overthrow of the party Ittihat in 1913, Hassan Tahsin Bey was appointed the new governor of Van (1913–1915). Being an Ittihatian, he, unlike other Young Turks, was not an ardent nationalist. H. Tahsin had a friendly attitude towards Armenians and understood the national peculiarities of the local conditions. Thanks to his personal qualities, he managed to spread the spirit of solidarity in the province of Van and for the first time took drastic measures to settle Armenian-Kurdish relations, clean the province of Van from bandits, suppress the resistance of the rebellious sheikhs, resolve disputed land issues and improve educational work in the province.

One of the institutions that played a significant role in Armenian reality is the Lazarev Institute in Moscow. Founded by the Lazarev (Eghiazarian) family and operating in a foreign country, it rendered invaluable service to the Armenian people. The institution opened its doors in 1815, which is officially considered the year of its establishment. Alongside general education subjects, foreign languages were also taught there. Representatives of various nationalities studied at the institute.
