LITERARY LIFE IN THE FIRST REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA (1918–1920)
The article presents the literary life in the First Republic of Armenia. It was preceded by the Armenian Genocide carried out by Ottoman Turkey in 1915, as a result of which we lost the golden generation of Western Armenian literature: Grigor Zohrap, Ruben Zardaryan, Daniel Varuzhan, Siamanto, Ruben Sevak and others. Abroad, during this period, great Eastern Armenian writers continued to write: Hovh. Tumanyan, Av. Isahakyan, A. Shirvanzade, Nar-Dos, V. Teryan and others, who sought to contribute to the revival of the motherland. Literary figures in Armenia were taking steps to regulate the literary life of the republic. In turn, the leadership of the First Republic paid serious attention to the publication of works by Armenian authors.
