    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.

    The Armenian people were hopeful that after the capitulation of Turkey in the First World War (WWI) and the dislocation of the Allies troops in Transcaucasia, territories of Western Armenia and Transcaucasia would be included within the First Republic of Armenia. However, the Armenian people experienced another disappointment. In 1918–1920, Great Britain, who had gained dominance in Transcaucasia, ignoring the promises given to the Armenians during the war and their particular contribution to the victory of the Allies, adopted anti-Armenian attitude towards the Karabakh conflict.asryan.arm@gmail.com

There are historical hidden figures among the heroes: Cherchi Kiros – Hrayr Dzhoghk (Armenak Ghazaryan (1864–1904), Malkhas – Gevorg Chaush (Gevorg Ghazaryan) (1870–1907)), Nairyan – the conventional image of an ideological leader. The novel has a cer¬tain ideological orientation: shortly after the Genocide, the loss of the homeland, it tries to instill in the people the spirit of victory, even the dream of victory.
