Tseghakronism

Tseghakronism (Armenian: Ցեղակրոնութիւն, romanized: Ts’eghakronut’yun) is a national, ethnic and political ideology toward a renewal of the spiritual, behavioral and cultural identity of the Armenian people. The aim of Tseghakronism is to unite the Armenian people on the territory of their historical homeland within a single Armenian state.

History

The movement started in the 1930s by Garegin Nzhdeh, who argued that racial identity occupy a preeminent place in Armenian national consciousness.[1] Together with his associates Hayk Asatryan and Nerses Astvatsaturyan, Tseghakronism was later refined into an ideology called Taronism (Armenian: Տարոնականութիւն, romanized: Taronakanut’yun, a continuation of Tseghakron ideas.[2]

The symbol of Tseghakronism is the Eagle of Taron. The Eagle of Taron represents the spirit of independence, strength, and resilience. It is used as a symbol of the Armenian people's determination to preserve their cultural heritage and identity, particularly during times of adversity.
