  Nineteenth-century Armenia was a zone of competition between the Persian, Ottoman, and the Russian Empires. This work seeks to explain how this divided society managed to achieve a common cultural bond. It also reviews how nineteenth-century Armenian intellectuals discussed and conceived of the nation through the formation of the Armenian press.
