Tseghakronism

Tseghakronism (Armenian: Ցեղակրոնութիւն, romanized: Tsʿeghakrōnutʿiwn[lower-alpha 1]) is a national/ethnic and political movement towards 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.

The movement was founded by Garegin Nzhdeh, and, together with his associates Hayk Asatryan and Nerses Astvatsaturyan, was later refined into the ideology of Taronism (Տարոնականութիւն[lower-alpha 2]), a continuation of Tseghakronism.
