Preface

This book is one of the first researches on Arme-
nian fascism in Azerbaijan. Prepared by Professor Gafar
Chakhmagli and supported by the Council of State Support
to NGOs under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan,
this book is of great importance in terms of revealing the in-
sides of today’s Armenian society and the roots of their nazi
attitude to other nations. The author examines the stages
of the transformation of the fascist idea that one nation is
superior to other nations which was dominant attitude in
Armenia. He writes that Armenian nazism was generally a
belief or doctrine which accept that biological differences
between different human races are necessary to determine
cultural or individual issues, and that one race (often his
own race) was superior to others for natural reasons and
had the right to dominate others.

This fascist approach still exists today (Especially after
the occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh and other Azerbaija-
ni regions, Armenians attribute their “victories” to their su-
perior race). Fascism is being spread in this country among
all individuals, all members of society today. Before it be-
came a generic term used to strengthen dictatorial regimes,
fascism emerged as an ideology representing Italian nation-
alism. Armenian theorist Garegin Nzhdeh, who was once
influenced by Mussolini’s fascist teachings, adopted fascism
as a worldview and developed the Armenian racist doctrine
of Tsekhakro in the same years. The Germans acquired the
ideology at a later date. Thus, fascism became Hitler’s main
ideological weapon. In the same years, the Armenians be-

8 / Armenian Fascism

gan to assimilate fascism. Many war criminals seeking sal-
vation in Europe, survivor members of the Dashnak party,
adopted this idea from the Germans. Garegin Nzhdeh, the
murderer of Karabakh and Zangazur people, developed
a doctrine similar to German fascism: Tsekhakronism. Its
similarity with the German fascist concept of a New Or-
der has been well researched so far. What is embodied in
Nzdeh’s Tsechakronism that still plays the locomotive of
Armenian society today?

The Tsekhakron doctrine manifests the following ideas:
“I know my lineage (tsekh), I trust my descendants, my lin-
eage is closer to God, I am a higher race, I carry Tsekharako
in my body”. In this respect, the author argues that Tsekha-
kron is identical with fascism. The most important thing is
that the book mostly addresses to Armenian authors. Co-
operation between Armenians and Nazi Germany during
World War II has been extensively studied. “Several leaders
of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun
in Berlin, when they established the Armenian National
Council under the chairmanship of Abeghyan, assessed it
as a positive ideology. The members of the council were
Artashes Gyulkhandanyan (deputy chairman), Harutyun
Baghdasaryan (secretary), Garegin Nzhdeh, Drastamat
Kanayan (Dro), Vahan Papazyan (Koms) and others. The
council operated under the auspices of Nazi Germany’s
Ministry of the Occupied Eastern Regions of the USSR,
and its primary goal was to secure German power in the
Caucasus. The organization of an Armenian legion within
the German army was presented as a condition to imple-
ment this idea.

Nzhdeh and Dro also considered the inclusion of Ar-
menian captives in this legion. These two former Armenian

Prof. Dr. Gafar Chakhmagli / 9

commanders explored the POW camps, rescued Armenian
soldiers and officers and included them in this legion. In
general, they gathered 8,000-9,000 soldiers to form a
10,000-strong Armenian legion. It is quite intriguing that,
Hermann Goering, who was considered a reliable person
for Hitler, instructed the fascist generals in the upper posi-
tions of the Reich in his “green folder” to realize it. Ironi-
cally, on May 28, 2016, Yerevan hosted the official cere-
mony of the statue of Garegin Nzhdeh, a fascist who was
arrested in 1944 and sentenced to 25 years in prison and
died there. Nzhdeh actively cooperated with the Soviet So-
cialists during the Great Patriotic War. In 1942, he created
units of captured Armenian soldiers of the Red Army in the
Wehrmacht. Garegin Nzhdeh was one of the seven mem-
bers of the Armenian National Council, founded by the
Germans on December 15, 1942. Armenian militarized
groups formed in Germany under the leadership of Nzhdeh
took an active part in the occupation of Crimea and the
offensives in the Caucasus. Drastamat Kanayan, known as
General Dro, helped him create the infamous “Armenian
Legion.” I believe that this book will be an important tool in
revealing the inside of armenian fascism and many aspects
of armenian-fascist cooperation.

10 / Armenian Fascism

The road to Armenian fascism

Since the earliest times, the idea of Armenism had a
significant place in Armenian system of thought and phi-
losophy, thus it would not be right to view it separately
from Armenian history and culture or to consider it outside
the Christian ideology. In certain periods and occasions,
Hays even relinquished their religion for their racist ideas.
In the system of knowledge and beliefs, Armenianism or
Armenism was always full of racist ideology and flourished
in all historical periods in the direction of self-preservation.
In the 16th century, the Mkhitarists attempted to change
the Armenian system of thought in Venice, however, they
failed. Over a period of time, racism rooted in the essence
of this system of thought, disregard for other nations,
terrorization of people and activities that tended to phys-
ically destroy them to achieve their goal, were revealed.
This racist mindset exists in the essence of most political
and non-political organizations created by Armenians.
Throughout history, several forces gravitated to shape this
ideology as a concept of statehood of the armenian nation
and today this idea is still present. Until 1918, Armenians
never had a completely independent state in history, for
this reason, they tended to form their ideology on this ba-
sis; they developed everything appropriating from others.
Pan-Armenianism began to emerge as another manifesta-
tion of Armenianism.

Social belonging takes priority in Panarmenism as in
all the previous nationalist concepts. In this case, conscious
love of society and striving for the development of society

Prof. Dr. Gafar Chakhmagli / 11

manifests itself in a prominent way. Nationality in armenian
language (ազգ - azq) is defined as something belonging only
to them without considering other nations. The different
understanding of this concept by Hays is that they are af-
flicted with the disease of nationalism. The principles re-
flected in the newspaper Mshak by Grigory Artsruni who is
considered the ideological father of the Armenian national-
ism, gave rise to Armenian terror. According to Armenian
thought, terrorism is not a crime. It is an action to achieve
the goal. We can refer to that period as the beginning of
the armenian terror. Later, terrorism became the main
method of struggle in the programs of Armenian political
organizations. The terrorist organizations that they created
during the First World War normalized the tragedies and
deaths of innocent people as a regular life accident. Arme-
nian self-sacrifice is no different from terrorism. It is also
a national belief focusing on faith rather than knowledge.
The self-sacrificers are the volunteer terrorists who swear to
die at the heaviest wars without any doubt in the struggle of
the Armenian people.

The murder was an ordinary live event for the Nemesis
organization, which was created on the basis of revenge.
The word “Nemesis” derived from the name of the Greek
revenge goddess Nemesis. This was a terrorist act decid-
ed and carried out by the Dashnaktsutyun Party. It was
established in October 1919 on the initiative of terrorist
leader Shahan Natalie. Tsechakronism, another ideological
doctrine, also focuses on the similar ideas. Tsekhakron is
a combination of two armenian words - “ցեղ” (race) and
“կրոն” (religion) introduced by Garegin Nzhdeh (Garegin
Ter-Harutyunyan). Armenian Republican Party headed by
President Serzh Sargsyan consider Nzhdeh as their ideo-
logically national leader. In actual fact, Tsekhakron is Ar-

12 / Armenian Fascism

menian fascism.

It is a National Socialist doctrine and Garegin Nzhdeh’s
thoughts underlie the attitude of the world Armenians to-
wards the Turks and Turkey. Undoubtedly, Andranikism is
at the forefront of the nationalist manifestations that have
an important place among the Armenian ideological trends.
There are mixed manifestations of these ideologies in the
cornerstone of ASALA and dozens of similar Armenian
terrorist organizations, and they continue their activity to-
day. Thus, Armenian ideologues have recently put forward
Tsekhachronism as well as Andranikism as an element of
the existence of Armenianism all over the world. This is
also a fascist doctrine. Andranik is considered a hero for all
Armenians today. Modern Andranik followers have learned
cruelty from him. Andranik’s atrocities were repeated in
Karabakh in the 1990s. Wasn’t the operation in Khojaly
the continuation of the attacks committed in Eastern Ana-
tolia, the Caucasus and South Azerbaijan? Only, the per-
formers were different. History has also changed. Aren’t
they today’s fascists who say “We presented Khojaly on
Andranik’s birthday on February 26, 1992”?

As evidenced, Mkhitarism, Andranikism, Tsechakro-
nism, Armenian Fadaism and Armenian fascism as well
as other ideological teachings that are still characteristic
of Armenian society today and are very dangerous for the
mankind.

In this book, we tried to investigate the unknown as-
pects of Armenian fascism. The fact of Armenian fascism
is obvious.

Traditional and Armenian fascism

What is fascism? The origin of the term derives from
the Latin word fasces meaning a group of sticks with an ax
at the end, which symbolizes the broad governmental au-
thority of the ancient Roman rulers. Later the same symbol
was used in the sense of enlightenment as a force repre-
senting the power of the state in the hands of the people
during the French Revolution. It was the official state sym-
bol of Italy since 1926 with several changes. The symbol
had a triple meaning symbolizing state power, people’s
property and equality!

These slogans were used in the propaganda campaigns
of Mussolini, the founder of fascism. Fascism was intro-
duced as an ideology representing Italian nationalism be-

14 / Armenian Fascism

fore it became a general term used to strengthen dictatorial
regimes. However, nazism and phalangism are also known
as fascist-related political movements because of their close-
ness to fascism which is an Italian ideology. Later these
ideologies were acquired by the Germans. Thus, fascism
became Hitler’s main ideological weapon. In the same pe-
riod, Armenians also acquired fascism. Many war criminals
seeking salvation in Europe, the Dashnak Party, adopted
this idea from the Germans. Garegin Nzhdeh, the murderer
of Karabakh and Zangazur, developed a doctrine equivalent
to German fascism: Tsekhakronism. We will examine in
later terms how similar this is to the German fascist notion
of a “new order”.

Basically, fascism was a one-party, patriotic, extremely
nationalist, anti-democratic, anti-communist, anti-capital-
ist, populist and authoritarian system advocating the co-
existence of society regardless of class and gender differ-
ences and emphasizing the supremacy of the state. For a
regime to be known as a “fascist”, the ideology must be
nationalist, and the nation’s existence and interests must
take precedence over everything. To achieve this goal, the
main policy of fascism was to apply a strong state fist on
the economy and implement a price policy to prevent the
decline of living standards. Fascism aims to eliminate the
contradictions between classes. In this regard, the state
creates corporations and provides labor contracts between
workers and employers. The needs of the poor and middle
class in society are fulfilled by the state. For example, a
land law passed in Germany prevented the confiscation of
peasant lands by mortgages and prevented investors from
exploiting them. This was prevalent under Hitler’s rule in
Germany. From the ideological point of view, everything
was in accordance with this system in Armenia.

Prof. Dr. Gafar Chakhmagli / 15

The adoption of nationalist or racist views varied from
country to country. For example, while Italian Fascism em-
phasized the concept of “Italian citizenship”, German Na-
zism put the idea of “carrying German blood” on center
stage. Mussolini’s doctrine favors the notion of citizenship,
while Hitler’s doctrine emphasizes blood ties. Italian fas-
cism is nationalist and German Nazism is racist. Armenian
fascism is close to German fascism rather than Italian. To
achieve their main goal, the Armenians tried to display
themselves for the Germans. It did not take long for them
to search for evidence that they were of the same race. Hit-
ler’s concept of “racial state” has the same meaning in Ar-
menia. Today, there is no nation of any other ethnic group
in Armenia. Fascism either destroys or enslaves everything
it does not love. There is no difference between the fascist
concept of the “New Order” and Nzhdeh’s “Tsekhakron”
doctrine.

What does Nzhdeh’s Tsekhakronism embody which
still plays the locomotive of Armenian society? Tsekhakron
is constructed as follows: “I know my lineage (tsekh), I trust
my lineage, my lineage is closer to God, it is a higher race,
I carry Tsekharako in my body.” In this respect, Tsekha-
kron is identical with fascism. See what Zori Balayan, a
staunch Armenian fascist of modern times, says at a wed-
ding in Karabakh: “… God will protect Karabakh, because
God himself is an Armenian and is from Karabakh.”1 This
is more than fascism. His predecessor, Nzhdeh, considers
the Armenian lineage to be an “aristocratic race,” while the
modern-day fascist Balayan claims that even God is Arme-
nian.

16 / Armenian Fascism

Why do Armenians love
Adolf Hitler so much?

If they had a chance, they would erect a statue to him
in Yerevan. Yes, they would erect one of the statues that
they erected to Garegin Nzhdeh, who was the founder of
the fascist Armenian theory and was Hitler’s companion.
Armenian society uses an expression that they attribute
to Hitler which is not confirmed by any source. Allegedly,
when Hitler decided to exterminate the Jews, he said; “The
Turks destroyed the Armenians during the First World War,
what was done to them and will be done to us.”

Another Russian source allegedly said: “August
22, 1939, who remembers the Armenian massacres? «
(«В КОНЦЕ КОНЦОВ КТО ПОМНИТ АРМЯНСКУЮ
РЕЗНЮ?» 22 августа 1939 г)

Another Armenian source says, “Armenians were

Prof. Dr. Gafar Chakhmagli / 17

killed by Turks, who remembers that?” ... Apparently, their
different “presentation” casts doubt on the idea of Hitler.
In fact, there is no such thing. It is also an Armenian in-
vention. The Germans unequivocally deny that Hitler ex-
pressed this opinion. Apparently as, even a date is given
as to whether this expression was uttered. Hitler’s opinion
is included in the draft laws sent to different countries of
the world and which by various means managed to get the
so-called “Armenian genocide” to be accepted (there are
already 21 such countries). On the other hand, this “Arme-
nian solidarity” with Hitler brings a spirit of sympathy to the
nationalist Armenian society FURER and there are those
who say that “perhaps Hitler was also Armenian”: “Hitler
comes from the Aryan race, and so do we. It means that
our roots are the same.”2 It is a well-known fact that Hitler
is not an Armenian but there is a strange similarity between
his ideological activity and what the Armenians did. The
racist policy pursued by Armenians today resembles the
German political and military doctrine of the 1920s and
1930s. Undoubtedly, Hitler is not an Armenian, however,
the tendency to armenianize him reveals the common iden-
tity of Armenians and fascists. Armenia’s cooperation with
the Nazis is an undeniable fact although Hitler expressed
distrust for them.3

The ideas in the following paragraph do not refer to
us; we have taken them from the book Armenian History
from Ancient Times to the Present Day published in Yere-
van in 2012. (Armenian “Հայոցպատմություն: Հնագույնժ

appreciate people who collaborated with the Nazis, erect

them. Thus, fascism is a positive ideological movement ac-
cording to the Armenian system of thought.

Armenians, Tatars, etc.) and the Russians must be turned
to our good advantage.4

Adolf Hitler expressed his opinion on the insincerity
of the Armenians in their relations with Germany. In his
speech on the establishment of national legions in Decem-
ber 1942, Hitler said: “I do not know how the Georgians
will behave. They do not belong to the Turkic peoples. I
only confide in Muslims. I believe that the only dangerous
thing is the organization of Caucasian battalions. I do not
see any threat in the creation of Muslim battalions ... De-
spite the guarantees of Rosenberg and other servicemen, I
do not trust the Armenians.5

Even Hitler himself was aware of the fact that Arme-
nians were unreliable and treacherous and despite the tol-
erance of the Ottoman state, he expressed his disapproval
about Armenians’ deserting their side to join the enemy
during World War I. He was well informed about these is-
sues thanks to the generals who served as allies in the Ot-
toman state. Despite Hitler’s distrust, an Armenian legion
was formed within the German army. In fact, Hitler needed
such a group of traitors.

Nazi genetics of the Armenian society

On the whole, the doctrine of racism claims that a per-
son’s blood determines his national and ethnic identity. Ev-
ery Armenian thinks that he or she is indeed different from

Prof. Dr. Gafar Chakhmagli / 21

others. Instead of criticizing the idea of “Armenian ary-
an race” or “Armenian aryan” introduced by Artsruni,
Garegin Nzhdeh, Andranik in the Armenian community, it
was supported by many Armenian scholars due to the lack
of ideas and a little bit ignorance. All these ideas were put
forward without any scientific basis for the same reason.

To harbor hatred against any society based on real
foreign biological theories, or to include hatred in it, that
is, racism, has always been an integral part of Armenian
nationalism.

Like the German Nazis, the Armenians regarded the
entire history of mankind as the history of a biologically
determined struggle between people of different races. The
Nazis argued that Marxism, communism, pacifism and in-
ternationalism and other political tendencies were contrary
to nationalism and their assumptions were based on the
“intellectualism” of the Jewish race, which they considered
dangerous, after coming to power, in 1935, they adopted

22 / Armenian Fascism

the Nuremberg Laws, which gave the so-called “biological
definition” of Judaism. This was one of the meanings of the
trial of the Nazis in Nuremberg. The law to destroy Judaism
was related to the name of this city.

The racist Nazis viewed patients as wastes of genetical-
ly superior races and they believed that the proliferation of
these people posed a biological threat to their “ari races.”
They saw it as a threat. During the last six months of 1939,
after careful planning and data collection, German doctors
began to kill the “useless people” who were hospitalized all
over Germany.

According to German racial theories, they and other
Northern Europeans came from a superior race. They were
the bearers of the Aryan-Ari race. Throughout World War
II, German physicians began conducting medical experi-
ments and making fictitious conclusions in order to find
physical evidence of the superiority of the Aryan race and
the inferiority of other races. Despite the murder of count-
less non-aryan people during the experiments, they could
not find evidence to support their theories on racial biologi-
cal differences between humans. There is no such evidence
today.

Prof. Dr. Gafar Chakhmagli / 23

This training focused on the massacres and the physical
destruction of hostile “races”, including the “ethnic cleans-
ing” of the European Jewish genocide and the abolition
of “leadership” of the Slavic community in the occupied
Eastern lands, such as Poland and the Soviet Union. If we
look at the path of the Armenian state from its eve to the
present day, we will witness the same picture. At one time,
the state now called “Armenia” did not belong only to the
Armenian people, when it was given the right to self-de-
termination, other peoples lived in this country, including
Azerbaijani Turks and in some cases naturally outnumbered
non-aboriginal Armenians. Now there are no any Azerbai-
jani Turks in this country.

We will mention this later. It should be emphasized that
the policy of racial discrimination between Armenians and
Germans, the policy of genocide and ethnic cleansing at
the state level are completely the same. German fascism
commands: “Kill Jews wherever you see them” and
Armenian fascism says “Kill Turks wherever you see
them” and recommends that you act on the principle of
“It is a threat to your biological existence.”

Of course, fascism is a little different from nationalism
and racism. Fascism is based on the idea that the society
to which it belongs is superior to other societies. Fascism
is instilled by its leaders to the individuals who make up
society. Fascism is a doctrine founded by Benito Mussolini.
Influenced by Benito Mussolini, Italian philosopher Giovan-
ni published a series of books in the 1920s introducing the
principles of this doctrine, which became a political ideol-
ogy and system of government. The Armenian ideologue
Garegin Nzhdeh was influenced by these books, adopted
fascism as a worldview and prepared Tsekhakro, an Arme-

24 / Armenian Fascism

nian racist doctrine, in the same years.

East-West models of nationalism and
Armenians

Nationalism can be regarded as an ideology, as a po-
litical doctrine, and as a way of struggle for survival. In the
West, nationalism was originally seen as a tool of achieving
political aims and a concept closely linked to the idea of
individual freedom.

Modern nationalism in Europe was founded by the
French. It simply emerged as a political and ideological
project. Have these models, the “Western model” been
preserved? It has been directed by the Germans since the
18th century. Nationalism in France was a social and po-
litical project, and it manifested itself in this way in other
countries and peoples. When the French national ideology
was replaced by German myths, it began to reflect artificial
shades. The “Eastern model” of nationalism manifested it-
self in a different form. In this sense, if we try to analyze
“nationalism projects” in the examples of Armenian na-
tionalism, we will see this difference. The model justified by
Adam Smith can easily be attributed to Armenian national-
ism. There is a common ancestor here - Hayka, where the
longing for the Armenian “golden age” manifests itself (as if
there will be a rise after a descent of 1,500 years), there is
a burning grief over the loss of the homeland. This “nation-
alist myth” led to the emergence of a group of intellectuals
in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

There were writers, publicists, clerics and others among
them: Raffi, Leo, Mkrtich Khrimyan ... They also had me-
dia outlets that spread this ideology. The Mshak newspa-
per, The Hnchak, Droshag magazine and The Hayastan

26 / Armenian Fascism

newspaper published in Berlin.

Most Armenian national ideologies were closely con-
nected with Christianity. However, Nzhdeh preferred Ar-
menianism to Christianity. Now, as thousands of Arme-
nians gather at the Garni temple near Yerevan, about 32
kilometers from it, to celebrate Vardavar holiday, they want
to show that they are real Armenians and that their religion
is not Christianity, but this religion. It is very strange that
this holiday was included in the Christian calendar. There is
a strange illogicality here. But the members of this sect also
created a holy book for themselves. “We Armenians do
not know what our real religion is. Burning candles in the
church and hanging a cross on your chest does not mean
being a Christian. Not all Armenians are sincere in this reli-
gion. One of the active participants in the Vardavar holiday,
Armen Avetisyan, the head of the ultranationalist organiza-
tion “Armenian-Aryan Order”, was sentenced in 2005 to
three years in prison for calling on Armenians to renounce
Christianity. He also called on the people to exterminate

Prof. Dr. Gafar Chakhmagli / 27

the Jews. Avetisyan and his comrades-in-arms are wearing
a black T-shirt with a picture of Armenian racist ideologue
Garegin Nzhdeh. Garegin Nzhdeh fought against the Turks
and even the Bolsheviks with guns and was the author of
works on the foundations of Armenian nationalism. Based
on the ideas of this person, the platform of many political
organizations, including the Armenian Revolutionary Fed-
eration - Dashnaktsutyun, as well as the Republican Party
of Armenia, was determined.

Sources of Armenian fascism.
Armenian racist doctrine

Racists in Armenia believe that past traits are biological-
ly absorbed into human behavior. The Armenian racist doc-
trine claims that the blood carried by a person determines
the national-ethnic identity. In Armenian fascism persons
who have mastered the philosophy of racism which pre-
dicts the superiority of human races based on color and
physical images are preferred. Today in Armenia, people
such as Andranik Ozanyan, Stepan Shaumyan, Dro, Nzh-
deh, Soghomon Teyleryan, Varujan Karapetyan, Monte
Melkonyan, Vazgen Sargsyan and others who are recog-
nized as terrorists in other countries are still considered as
heroes. This attitude is called “racism” as the supporters
of this ideology tried to physically destroy those who did
not belong to them. They committed it unblinkingly and
unmercifully.

Prof. Dr. Gafar Chakhmagli / 29

Racism among Armenians has been based on anti-hu-
man principles since ancient times. An interesting picture
emerges if we examine the activities of the Armenians who
founded the nationalist movement in Venice in the 17th
century. The roots of Armenian nationalism is based on
fascism. It is no coincidence that Mkhitarism was also
formed in Italy, in the lands where fascism originated. Co-
incidences also mean necessity. The dagger cross, a symbol
of Nazism mentioned above, is also a symbol of Armenian-
ism. The symbol of Dashnaktsutyun, one of the first nation-
alist parties in Armenia, is also the dagger cross adopted
by fascism.

The Nazis accepted a “racial purity law” in Germany.
What did that mean? Adolf Hitler, who believed in the need
for state regulation on the born of people for racial purity,
issued the Act on the Prevention of Children with Hered-
itary Diseases. Among other provisions, the measure pre-

30 / Armenian Fascism

vented undesired people to have children and it meant the
forced sterilization of some physically or mentally disabled
people. The law would affect 400,000 people in the 18
months after it was enacted. There are similarities between
the concept of fascist “New Order” and Nzhdeh’s Tsekha-
kron. Hitler’s concept of “racial state” has the same mean-
ing in Armenia.

Today in Armenia there is not any single person who
belongs to another nation. Fascism destroys all it does not
love or enslaves them. Azerbaijani Turks who once lived in
Armenia had no rights and today the fact that not a single
Azerbaijani lives in this country is a proof of that. Similarly,
same things can be said about the remaining Yezidi Kurds
here. They are slaves in this country. They are beaten,
cursed, their cattle and sheep are taken away from them…
The Yezidis are real slaves of the Armenians, so they need
to be taken out into the streets from time to time to protest
against Turkey or to say “Freedom for Ocalan!” through a
group belonging to the Yezidi Kurdish leader Aziz Tamoy-
an.

We can mention mass deportation, crimes, murder of
war prisoners, organ trade of Azerbaijani captives and hos-
tages. There is no news about more than 5,000 Azerbai-
janis captured in the Karabakh war until today. This is due
to the fact that the Armenians have absolutely mastered
Hitler’s racist philosophy. Armenian Nazism was general-
ly a belief or doctrine which accepted the values that biolog-
ical differences between different human races should also
determine cultural or individual issues and that one race
(usually their own race) is superior over the others due to
the natural reasons and therefore they have right to judge
others. (Especially after the occupation of Nagorno-Kara-

Prof. Dr. Gafar Chakhmagli / 31

bakh and other Azerbaijani regions, Armenians attributed
their “victories” here due to their superior race). That is to
say, three centuries ago in Venice, Mkhitarism fulfilled its
job by publishing mainly books, newspapers and magazines
sending them to the regions where Armenians lived mas-
sively and convinced them to be different from others.

What was mkhitarism that gave birth to Arme-
nian nationalism? It was a system of nationalism fearing
variety (zenophobia), determining one’s own ethnic and
cultural values as the only criterion (ethnic centralism)
and it ideologically belonged only to the Armenian nation.
It encompassed theories such as the hostility towards racial
unification, relations as well as the concept of nationalism.

Two or three centuries were sufficient for the Arme-
nians to transform it into the doctrine of social discrimina-
tion, from racial differences to genocide and it is now en-
tirely compatible with the doctrine of the Armenian state.
According to this system, Armenian racism, when exam-
ined in general terms, is considered to be an insult to those
of other races who carry their own blood, speak the same
language and come from the same lineage.

Although historically the notion of racism which bought
and sold people of African origin as slaves was accepted
normally after Europeans discovered America, it is current-
ly assessed negatively. However, in todays Armenia it is
normal to consider their nation superior over others.

There are hundreds of examples on Armenian racism.
Propaganda of Armenian racism is also unseemly. In the
article “Birth of the Armenian people from the Aryans”6,
according to the imagination of an Armenian author, ary-

6. Varpetyan Alexander “Birth of the Armenian people from the Aryans” You-
tube. 11 April 2011

32 / Armenian Fascism

ans began to appear in the “Armenian Mountain World”
20,000years ago and they left their trace from Asia to
Japan. There were Aryan-Armenians who domesticated
horses and developed sheep breeding.

The word “Ayrutsi” in the Armenian language has re-
mained since that time. The words “Arman” and “Arme-
nia” also come from that time. The word “Ayrarat” (Ararat)
is derived from the word Ari, etc.

The author further claims: “By adding an ‘A’ to the
‘Ram’ of the Aryans, the word ‘Aram’ emerged.” “Arat”
is supposed to mean “son of God” in the Aryan language.
In Armenia there is a male name “Arustam”, of which Per-
sian variation is “Rustam”. Moreover, it is obvious that Ar-
menians come from the same roots. Both Christianity and

Prof. Dr. Gafar Chakhmagli / 33

Buddhism were created by Aryans.

There are similarities between Tsekhakron and
Nzhdeh’s fascist notion of a «new order.» Hitler’s concept
of «racial state» has the same meaning in Armenia. Today,
there is no other nation in Armenia.

Azerbaijani Turks who once lived in Armenia had no
rights and today the fact that not a single Azerbaijani lives
in this country is a proof of that. Similarly, same things can
be said about the remaining Yezidi Kurds here. They live
a slave life in this country. Varpetyan, one of these insane
researchers, also tries to associate the name «Alamani»
(Germany) with the name Armani (Armenian).

He states that the Germans have kinship with the
Armenians like the Persians and Indians and cites the
example of Paruyr Sevak, one of the Armenian nationalist
poets: «There are other Armenians in the world who are
the product of your beginnings.» These Armenians are
Greeks, Germans, Basques, Persians, Kurds, Indians,
Russians, descended from the Aryan Armenians. Some
of them spread to Asia Minor and some of them went to
Europe anyway. In some places, they lived in small groups
without interfering with any of the neighbors or any nation
(They are racially superior!). Their main settlements were
in Central Asia where they came to India and played a
leading role in the formation of some nations. According to
Varpetyan, Indians and Persians are related to Armenians.
As a result of the Aryans’ departure from the Caspian Sea
to Russia, they «sowed seeds» among the Russians.

Now let’s look at the result: the close relations between
Greater Armenia and Russia come from their genetic
blood. In other words, the Armenian-Aryan race also

34 / Armenian Fascism

played a role in the formation and development of the
Russians as a nation. The name «Ram» or «Ran» which is
common in India and is a common name given to aryans.
This name was pronounced «Rant» or «Hrant» in Armenia.
«Ram» or «Ran» are the first «aryans». According to him,
the Aryans came to save Europe after taking root in the
East. Germans, Greeks, Jews, Kurds, Basques are Aryans.
Of course, before that, the armenian Aryans turned the
Persians, Indians and Russians into aryans. Look, whoever
is useful to the Armenians today is the Aryans but they are
only descendants of the Armenian aryans, that is, they are
the second class of Aryans7.

Apparently, the Turks are not even mentioned in this
study, however as in any case, the Turks who survived
the most powerful empires in the world at that time were
almost non-existent. Although these recent studies of the
Armenians have been ridiculed in the serious scientific
community and sharply criticized the fact that they have
no scientific basis, these studies are still in advance. Due to
their fear of being alone in the East, in Islamic geography
through his abominable actions Armenia does not forget
to add them to its national ideology. He wants to make
these countries his protectors by saying that the Indians,
the Persians and the Russians (though unrelated to them)
are of the Aryan race.

In Europe, they cling to the Germans. Varpetyan who
does not consider Jews «Aryans» calls them spies of other
nations (probably Turks). As for the Greeks, he says that
the Armenian-Greek cooperation is an example to the
world and again the phrase «similar blood» is added to the
sentence. The «supreme race» is optimistic and confident

that in the future the whole world will understand them and
will own the Armenians.

36 / Armenian Fascism

Foundations of Armenian fascism
The idea that fascism stems from nationalism is
somehow true. Nationalism is an ideological movement of
a nation to prove its autonomy, coexistence and existence.
Each of these concepts, aimed at gaining and maintaining
individual freedom, is derived from new, philosophical,
historical, and anthropological expressions that emerged in
Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

For example, the concept of identity literally means
identification. In this case, the individuals who belong to
the same group dress in similar ways, walk, speak the same
language, maintain the same traditions; in all these respects
they present themselves as individuals who do not belong to
them. This resemblance is also a view of dissimilarity, one

Prof. Dr. Gafar Chakhmagli / 37

of the meanings of national identity. Ideology is sometimes
referred to as a «product of non-objective thinking.» People
and nations living with this ideology can sometimes lead
society astray, mislead them when evaluating an event or
issue, and misrepresent the views expressed. Because that
society has become a captive of what we call ideology!

In this sense, the ideology is misleading. From the
very beginning times, Armenian ideologies (especially
tsechachronism and andranikism) misled the Armenian
community by denigrating one another. For this reason, the
people themselves are in a bad situation, and they are trying
to blame others for their situation. One of the misfortunes
of the Armenian people is that none of their ideologies
have been humane. In addition to self-aggrandizement,
self-differentiation and even false affiliation with the Aryan
races and other characteristics that alienate them from
human values, they have also created a tendency to kill and
terrorize themselves. If we pay attention to the Armenian
ideological currents, we will see that in the yeast of all of
them there is a contempt for other peoples. This has always
led to conflicts. Conflicts and wars cannot result in the
benefit of a nation with this ideology. Because inhumanity
lies in its root. For an Armenian, this is not the art of correct
thinking.

Some ideologies change according to the direction and
style of its definition and approach. However, the Armenian
ideology do not change. It is not about the solid foundation.
It is because the nationalist ideology of the Armenians
is based on the past as a system of beliefs specific to a
particular class or group. In Panarmenism, as in all notions
of nationalism, consciousness of social belonging comes in
the first place. In this case, consciously loving the society

38 / Armenian Fascism

to which you belong and striving for the development of
the society shows itself. Any hostile behaviour towards the
other societies is unacceptable. Since these are manifested
in a different sense in Armenians, we will try to reveal some
of their features. In order to reveal the anti-human nature of
Armenian nationalism, we must first pay attention to how
the concept of nationalism is perceived in the Armenian
society. Armenian nation -ազգ (azq) seems to be a concept
that belongs only to them, other peoples cannot be ազգ
(nation). Armenians have a different understanding of this
concept due to the fact that they are suffering from the
disease of nationalism.

Artsruni’s aggressive nationalism
and Armenian society
Artsruni is considered to be the father of Armenian
nationalism. For the evaluation of 1915 events, it is
necessary to analyze the Armenian nationalist theories and
main theorists.

The documents of that period are the main sources
revealing the Armenian nationalism, the Armenian uprisings
that began in the 19th century, and Tsarist Russia’s plans
to use it against Turkey. Armenian nationalism is based on
chauvinism and racism.

The publications of Armenian theorists of those years,
reveal the collaborative, fanatical and aggressive roots of

40 / Armenian Fascism

Armenian nationalism. In this sense, the views of Grigory
Yeremeyevich Artsruni, one of the first theorists of Armenian
nationalism, are of great importance in clarifying our
subject. In his newspaper the Mshak (Ranjbar), published in
Tbilisi (Georgia), he called on the Ottoman-led Armenians
to revolt. In his articles and books, Artsruni humiliates and
mocks Turks, Kurds and Muslims.

Artsruni repeatedly insults Turks and Kurds. At a
business club held on May 11, 1879, in Tbilisi he began his
speech with the question, “With so much cultural ability,
why didn’t Armenians gain power over barbarians that are
underdeveloped thousand times?” Armenians are totally
different from all neighboring nations, even Christian
nations, and are distinguished by their cultural abilities.
«Other nations will eventually come to the conclusion
that they will choose Armenians as their leaders, because
Armenians are superior to all of them in intelligence and
ability.»

While evaluating the Turks and Kurds, Artsruni writes,
“neither Turks nor savage Kurds have a past, history,
literature, schools, economic spirit of production and ability
to work. Nature has not given brain to all nations with the
same abilities. Turks and kurds have no interest in culture
and art. They have languages, but they are very backward
and primitive. In these languages, high school education
is most likely to be provided.” The Armenians who were
among the cultural Aryan and Semitic races of Artsruni
were deliberately brought under the rule of barbarians due
to these features. Europe should correct the error. In his
books which laid the ideological foundations of Armenian
nationalism, Artsruni states that the most important activities
of the Kurds are theft and looting. The Kurds who lived

Prof. Dr. Gafar Chakhmagli / 41

with the Armenians always served them and even though
they were Muslims, they prayed with the Armenians in the
armenian church due to their misunderstanding. Artsruni
says there is no concept of religion for the Kurds. The
Kurds were the most reliable minion of the armenians but
as soon as they had the opportunity, they had looted the
house of their master or the owner, killed him, raped his
wife and daughters, stole his property, destroyed his house
and burned his property.

As for the Turks, according to Artsruni, they are lazy,
stupid, stand up at the expense of the Armenians and
continue their lives. It doesn’t matter if they are rich or
poor, Turkish women were born to satisfy their men’s
passions and decorate their harems. There is neither a
master nor an outstanding worker among the Muslims.
Armenians are hardworking people but Muslims are the
opposite of it. Apparently, the Armenians, on the one
hand were surrounded by bandit Kurds, on the other hand
by stupid, lazy, corrupt Turks.8

The ideas put forward by Artsruni later formed the
basis of Dashnakism too. While evaluating this book which
described as the «Basic Bible» (Karinyan)9 by Dashnakism, we
witness the emergence of aggressive armenian nationalism.
The main task of writing Artsruni’s book «Economic Situation
of turkish armenians» (Ekonomicheskoe Polojenie Turetskix
armyan) was to draw the world’s attention, especially Russia
to the natural resources and great economic potential of
the region inhabited by Turkish Armenians. It means that
you can make a good income here. Through this book,

Artsruni encouraged the Armenians themselves to revolt in
order to acquire these resources. The book aims to «arouse
feelings of revenge against oppressive Muslims10».

Grigory Artsruni also used his newspaper «Mshak» as
an important tool on spreading this ideology. He invited
his colleagues Raffini, Arpiar Arpiaryan, Leon, Mkrtich
Portugal, Michael Varandian and benefited from the writings
of them. In the 1880s all nationalists who played a leading
role in Armenian thought sent articles to this newspaper.

The Armenian Aryanism and the
concept New Order of the German Nazis

The Aryan race concept claims that most people living
mainly in the territory from India to Western Europe belong
to a common race and use use languages of Indo-European
family. According to Aryan theory, this people, who were
Europeans, invaded India at the beginning of history, and
today the Aryan system in India, and the local religion,
emerged as a result of this invasion. However, a joint genetic
study conducted by leading US universities such as Harvard
in 2009 made it impossible to determine whether there
were significant genetic differences between these social
groups. For the first time, the theory of the Aryan race was
politically supported during the occupation of İndia by Brit-
ain. The British defended these claims that India had already
been invaded by the Aryans, an ancient European society
in order to justify the occupation. Politically, aristocracy
reached its peak in Germany under Adolf Hitler. It later
became the official state ideology of Nazi Germany. It is still
supported by many racist groups around the world. There
are Armenia and its diaspora which scattered around the
world among them.

44 / Armenian Fascism

The doctrine of racism claims that the blood carried by
a person determines his national and ethnic identity. Every
Armenian thinks that he is different from others. Instead
of criticizing the idea of “Armenian aryan race” or “Ar-
menian aryan” introduced by Artsruni, Garegin Nzhdeh,
Andranik in the Armenian community, it was supported
by many Armenian scholars due to the lack of ideas and
a little bit ignorance. Hitler and other Nazi leaders saw the
Jews not as a religious group, but as a poisonous virus that
circulated and weakened other races. After Hitler came to
power, Nazi teachers began to apply the laws of Aryan
science in schools. To determine if the students were of the
true aryan race, they measured the skull and nose lengths of
their students and began to enroll their hair and eye colors.
During these operations, Jewish and Gypsy students were
often humiliated and paved the way for a future genocide.
Racist anti-Semitism, real foreign biological based on
theories, prejudice against any society or including hatred,

Prof. Dr. Gafar Chakhmagli / 45

that is, racism has always been an integral part of armenian
nationalism. Like the German Nazis, the Armenians
regarded the entire history of mankind as the history of
a biologically determined struggle between people of
different races. The Nazis based their hypothesis that the
political tendencies of Marxism, communism, pacifism, and
internationalism contradicted nationalism and reflected the
intellectualism of the dangerous Jewish race and after the
Nazis came to power in 1935, they adopted the Nuremberg
Laws, which appeared a so-called biological definition of
Judaism.

The racist Nazis saw the patients as spots from their
genetically superior races and believed that their proliferation
revealed a biological threat to their «Aryan races.» They
were afraid of it. After careful planning and data collection
during the last six months of 1939, German doctors began
killing disabled people who remained in hospitals all over
Germany. According to their racial theories, Germans and
other Northern Europeans came from more superior race.
They were carriers of the Aryan-Aryan race.

Racist ideology and terrorism

In the 1920s, Armenians had already mastered
terrorism. They had terrorist experiences. One such
movement was called «Nemesis». «Nemezis» is a terrorist
act decided and carried out by the Dashnaktsutyun Party. The
pretext was that there were people in Baku who allegedly
organized the massacre of the Armenian population in
1918 and in 1915 there were Turkish state officials who
committed the “genocide” to the Armenians and revenge
had to be taken from them. The operation would be led
by Armen Garo (Garegin Basdırmaçıyan), a terrorist who
killed innocent people in Eastern Anatolia. The editorial
offices of the Chakatamart (Front) newspapers in Istanbul
and the Droshak (Flag) newspapers in Boston, which
operated in Istanbul, would be used as the headquarters
of the assassination. 41 of them were declared as “the
main culprits”. They had to be killed. There were former
leaders of both the Ottoman Empire and the Azerbaijan
Democratic Republic among them who had to be killed.

A long time ago from that, in 1915, the Armenians
established another terrorist organization of Dashnaktsutyun
in Istanbul - the «Red Market» group. On April 24, 1915,
a terrorist plot by members of this group was thwarted by
the government. Istanbul’s Armenian community leaders
blamed Ottoman Interior Minister Talat Pasha for the case
and members of the group were transferred to a prison
camp near Ankara on April 24. Many Armenian activists
were deported to Malta which was related to Great Britain.
After the Mondros agreement, in 1919, the issue of those
convicted in the death of Armenians was considered in a
military court, there were those people who were hanged

Prof. Dr. Gafar Chakhmagli / 47

and there were political reasons for it. The April 24 incident,
which was announced by Armenians as a «genocide» is only
due to it.

The victorious countries of World War II wanted to
convict the Ottomans of non-existent crimes and justify
the occupation. False Armenian murders were revealed
for it. There were those who were wrongly judged and
then many of them were acquitted because the allegations
were baseless. The Armenians arrested on April 24, 1915
were indeed acted as separatists and were convicted due
their illegal acts. But the Armenians were not satisfied with
that. When the decision was made in Yerevan in 1919 to
physically destroy the leaders of the Union and Progress
Party and the Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan with the
active support of the Armenian state, the armenians were
well aware that this was an act of terrorism. The resolution
of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation adopted at
its IX General Assembly in 1919 included the names of
650 people, 41 of whom were «major criminals.» He was
named Nemesis. The operation was led by the Armenian
leg (headed by Armen Garo-Garegin Basdirmachiyan) and
the financial support of the Special Fund was provided by
the Diaspora (Director Shahan Satchaklyan). The murders
began a year after the decision.
