Modern Armenia reviews Armenian politics and political thinking from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, and the evolution of Armenians from peoplehood to statehood. Written by a key governmental advisor in the early years of Armenian independence, this book analyzes the internal dynamics of the revolutionary movement, the genocide, the Armenian Diaspora, its recovered statehood and recent independence, as well as the relationship of these developments to processes in the Ottoman/Turkish, Russian, and Western states. It also explores current dilemmas and future choices independent Armenia faces today.Libaridian concludes with an overview of Armenia and Armenians during the past two decades, including the rebirth of independent Armenia, its foreign and security policy options, its position within the region, and its relations with the Diaspora. Fascinating and timely, Modern Armenia will be of interest to students and scholars of Armenian history, independence movements, the dissolution of the Soviet empire, foreign relations, and political science.

A Note on Transliteration
Except for recognized authors of Western Armenian descent and traditionally accepted place names, Armenian names in this volume are transliterated based on Eastern Armenian phonetics.
Creating this volume has been a recurrent idea for more than a decade. The book combines a selection from previously published material, previously written but unpublished chapters, and the newly written last section.
The idea became compelling for two reasons. In the last few years I found myself repeatedly referring friends, colleagues, and students to articles on modern Armenian history published earlier in edited volumes and journals; it was infinitely more practical to bring together, complete, and offer in one place such materials that seemed to interest an audience.
With the first hesitant and tentative plan, I also realized that the collection represents, in fact, a whole in two ways. First, it became obvious that with some adjustments and additions, the collection would cover the most important events and issues in modern Armenian history. Also uniting the volume, it seemed, was the interpretive dimension of the various parts, predicated upon the continuous search to understand the paradoxes and contradictions, discontinuities, and silences that characterize that history.
Research that sustains sections on the earlier period was done for published as well as still unpublished work and dates back to the early 1970s. The section on the more recent period is based largely on my personal involvement in Diasporan organizations and the new Republic of Armenia. From 1991 to 1997 I had the privilege to work in the first administration of the new republic in a number of capacities. That fact might explain any biases some readers will find in my assessments.
I owe a debt of gratitude to many individuals who made this work possible at different stages of its preparation. Kami Libaridian, Taline Voskeritchian, Marine Nercessian, and, especially, Asbed Kotchikian provided invaluable technical and editorial assistance. I am most grateful to my wife Nora, my friends and publishers Irving L. Horowitz and Mary Curtis, and my editor, Michael Paley, without whose advice, aid, and encouragement this project would not have reached completion. Shortcomings, of course, remain my responsibility.
This volume consists of a series of essays initially written over a period of time which explore a few fundamental questions related to modern Armenian history: How have Armenians perceived politics, within the nation and in international affairs, at different stages of their history since the nineteenth century? Who has spoken for Armenians at different times and with what basis of legitimacy, especially when and where statehood was lacking? How and to what extent was the traditional sense of nationhood transformed into a modern one? How did the worldviews of political parties change Armenians' participation in the making of their own history and interact with forces and events beyond their control? What is the relationship between the notions of people, nation, and state in modern Armenian history? And, most importantly, what has been the significance of the "Turkish" factor in determining the limits and possibilities of Armenian political imagination?
Without claiming to present a comprehensive history of the period under considerationfrom mid-nineteenth century to the presentor to fill the gaps that still exist in the current literature, this volume will challenge a number of interpretations and perceptions on the way that history evolved. A history claiming to represent the life of a nation is as good as the questions that are asked by the historian. Reformulating a question will often bring out facts that were considered secondary, events that were forgotten, or processes that were considered insignificant. The purpose of this book is to ask a few good questions. Even if the answers are wrong, the book will still have served its purpose if they goad others to find the right ones.
