Abstract

The article presents some details of Hov. Tumanyan’s officially sanctioned by the Armenian Aid Committee visit to Constantinople in 1921, lasting more than a month and a half, in particular, the publications of the Western Armenian criticism and of Constantinople press, which essentially systematize the approaches and assessments of the Western Armenian critical thought regarding the national identity of the poetic world of Hov. Tumanyan. The purpose and details of the visit to Constantinople, of course, are well known to us from the literary references to Tumanyan’s life. But there is one reason why these two months are of particular interest and we will consider it in the context of this study. From time to time, Western Armenian critics turned to the works of Hov. Tumanyan. But during this short period, the publications in Constantinopole Armenian press essentially generalize and systematize the approaches of the Western Armenian critical thought regarding Eastern Armenian poetry in general.
