Hi can someone explain in brief GAregin Njdehs work and ideas / Theology regarding TseRaKronutyun.

From what I understand that is not exactly theology but ideology to increase our nation's morale and spirit. He kind of made the Armenian nation as a god (which is quite wrong in my view), but that very idea served us very well by producing many courageous fighters who knew nothing higher than our victory. It is noteworthy that he rejected Christian values although he had no animosity with Christian believers or the church people, and his task was only to save them.

 

There is a website that has some of his works. I will post the link if I find it.

Garegin Nzhdeh has never proposed theology.

 

He has been an outstanding writer and publicist with a powerful pen and an outstanding general. He is the most significant pillar of the Armenian Independence throught our history.

 

Much of what he has said has been taken out of the context and been misrepresented by others. One has to read Nzhdeh himself rather than learn him from others.

 

It is true that Nzhdeh has put in circulation the word "tseghakron" in mid to late 20s. I also don't like this word but [reading his articles] I think it has had a different meaning in his mind than others have interpreted it.

 

Nzhdeh has not been anti-Christian. In fact, he has considered himself Christian. He has also been a humanist.

 

Some of his work can be found on the web page of ArtsakhWorld. (At least it used to.)

 

Nzdeh's ashes, which had been hidden for more than a decade under the bed of academician Varag Arakelyan who had stolen it from his Siberian grave, have been buried according to a Christian-Armenian ritual on the Mount Khustup in the presence of Christians and pagans who equally revered him in 1989 if my memory doesn't play tricks on me [regarding the date.]
