On this very day of 30 October 1918, an armistice was agreed on between the Entente representatives and Turkey at the port Mudros on the Greek island Lemnos.
At the Pedagogical University, this day was marked with an initiative of the Department of Politology and Law to organize its regular politology auditions; the Doctor of Political Sciences, the ASPU Professor Levon Shirinyan presented the contribution of Armenians in the strategic outcomes of the First World War from the politological perspective.
He transferred those present back with historical chronological accuracy to the hot spots of the World War I, where Armenian soldiers fought with their blood and heroic image in the voluntary army against the German and Turkish blocks.
“On the 100th anniversary of the Genocide the consciousness of a massacred nation that lost its homeland has been rooted, under which, unfortunately, the most important pages of the past, where the heroic posture and handwriting can be seen, remained in the shadow,” mentioned the Politologist, after which called for the future historians to raise and to be introduced to the rest of the world not only as an emigrant nation that survived, but also as a heroic nation. The whole world should remember the service provided by Armenians during the First World War.
As a matter of fact, Levon Shirinyan considered the subject as a scientific problem and as a Politologist added that the politology perspective was not the benefit of the nation but that of the state.
“A lot of historical gaps were simply bound in the history of Armenia”, assured the speaker noticing that after the independence the country should have controlled the reassessment of the political process.
Moreover, speaking about the problems of politology Levon Shirinyan stated that politology cannot work without political historical background; it is effective and real and can foresee whenever it is based on the objective course of history, otherwise it gives wrong and incorrect results.
Likewise, by introducing the British state, public-political figure James Viscount Bryce, General Erich Ludendorff and others’ witnesses, the speaker once again outlined the importance of getting back to the lined holes of history; thus, people will appreciate and praise themselves.
And last but not least, praising the contribution of Armenians in the strategic results of the World War I, the Politologist assured that the world should remember the service that Armenians provided therein, and that the country of France owes its current existence to Armenians.
