MATERIALS ON THE EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL LIFE AND RELEVANT STRUCTURES OF THE ARMENIANS OF PERSIA IN 1917
In the conditions of the ongoing First World War and the realities of the February Revolution of 1917 in Russia, and especially in the wake of the Armenian Genocide, along with the difficult living conditions of the Armenian emigrants seeking refuge in Persia, the Armenians of Persia continued to remain faithful to the traditions of educational, enlightening and cultural life. Armenian schools, public organizations, libraries and reading rooms continued to operate in Armenian-populated cities and villages, and even theatrical tours were held.
This is evidenced by the small number of materials from the National Archives of Armenia and the periodical press of the time.
