Abstract

Historical Armenian highland belongs to several Armenian kingdoms during different centuries while some ethnographers present the modern history of the Armenian ethno-national movement since the Armenian Genocide under the Ottoman Empire in 1915. It elevated during the Stalin regime but got strength in 1988 when the pro-Armenian Nagorno-Karabakh Movement was initiated. Till then, Armenian ethno-national sentiments have prevailed in the entire regime. This study not only found the historical roots of emerging Armenian ethnic nationalism but also analyzes its post-Soviet strength. Similarly, the impacts of this movement on Armenian neighboring countries like Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia are also being evaluated in the study whereas; the political economy of this movement is discussed in the last.
