abstract

This paper discusses the issue of Armenian repatriation in the years ’46-’47, challenging the role played by the concept of Armenian homeland on the identities developed and propagated by various Armenian entities in Lebanon. The three main diasporic Armenian parties, Dashnak, Ramgavar, and Hunchak, as well as the three newspapers affiliated with them, Aztag, Zartonk, and Ararad, clash in the Armenian-Lebanese political arena over differing conceptions of homeland and what it means to be an Armenian patriot, developing increasingly two sets of ideological references to draw on from time to time during intra-Armenian confrontation.
