Armen Garo's Undertaking within the Framework of the Civil Mission of the Republic of Armenia to the USA at the End of 1919

Ghambaryan, Armenuhi · 2025

From the proclamation of the First Republic, independent Armenia faced foreign-policy pressures that made relations with the European Powers and the United States urgent. In October 1919 Garegin Pasdermadjian (Armen Garo): member of the Armenian delegation in Paris and deputy chairman of the Western Armenian National Delegation, was dispatched to Washington as Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Representative of the Republic, arriving in New York with the official delegation headed by Hovhannes Kachaznuni. Ghambaryan traces his political, diplomatic and economic work through that autumn and winter, and his effort to unify the divided Armenian community in the United States, arguing this contributed to the modest but real successes the Republic's representatives achieved.
