The Activity of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun in Greece (from the 1890s to 1924)
Stepanyan, Khachatur and Hovhannisyan, Edgar · 2025
Presents the ARF's activity in Greece from the mid-1890s, when party organizations formed in southern Greece, through 1924. Greek attitudes toward the Ottoman Empire and Greece's geography created favorable conditions for ARF work on behalf of the Armenian national liberation movement, and the party quickly became a significant organization there. Revolutionary figures persecuted in Constantinople took refuge in Greece, which also served as a base for maintaining links with Cilicia. ARF activity expanded further after the Genocide and the massacres of Greeks in Asia Minor, and the Greek branch organized substantial relief for Armenian refugees; after the fall of the First Republic in 1920 the ARF was central to the Armenian community's reorganization in Greece.
