National awakening (1800s-1914)

During the 19th century, along with the other national awakening movements, Armenian thinkers/writers who promote the use of new concepts developed national cultural products. The first concepts developed by the thinkers/writers who studied in the Western Europe under the legacy of the French Revolution of 1789. They were highly educated (Doctors, educators, stc) which had democratic-liberal ideology and the concept of the rights of man. The second wave come with the Russian revolutionary though. Armenian revolutionary movement, at the end of 19th century, was based on a socialist ideology, specifically with its Marxist variant. There was only one problem, the materialism and class struggle did not directly apply to the realities of Ottoman Empire (so Ottoman Armenians) as much as the Armenians in the Russian Empire. The Armenians supported the Young Turk Revolution, as it was just natural that these concepts (tendencies, attitudes and feelings) were present in varying proportions among Armenians with the turn of 20th century[1] ARF, in the early 20th century was socialists, and marxist which can be seen from the party's first program[2] After the revolution, the Ottoman Empire in the second Constitutional Era (Ottoman Empire) was struggling to keep its territories and promoting the Ottomanism among its citizens. During the same time the Armenian Revolutionary Federation was moving out of this context and developing, what was just a normal extension of its national freedom concept, the concept of the "Independent Armenian State". With this national transformation Armenian Revolutionary Federation's activities become a national cause.[3] A common understanding of Western Europe in modern times. ...
