Հիմնարար հայագիտություն=Fundamental Armenology
The serious foreign policy challenges faced by the authorities of independent Armenia since the proclamation of the First Republic have led to the need to establish diplomatic relations with both European Powers and the United States. In the difficult political situation that developed in October 1919, first of all, in order to raise the issue of recognizing the newly created Republic, a member of the Armenian delegation in Paris, Deputy Chairman of the National delegation (of the Western Armenians) Garegin Pasdermadjian (Armen Garo), was sent to the United States as the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Representative of the Republic of Armenia to the USA. He arrived in New York as part of the official delegation of the First Republic of Armenia headed by Hovhannes Qajaznuni on October 9, 1919. In the fall and early winter of 1919, together with members of the Qajaznuni Civil mission and representatives of the Military mission who had joined the latter since the end of November, G. Pasdermadjian was active not only in political, diplomatic and economic directions, but also in uniting the divided Armenian community in the United States. Thus, G. Pasdermadjian also contributed to the small, but nevertheless, successes achieved by representatives of the Republic of Armenia in the USA.
