Tseghakronism

Tseghakronism (Armenian: Ցեղակրոնություն translit. Tseghakronutyun) is a national/ethnic and political movement towards a renewal of the spiritual, behavioral and cultural identity of the Armenian people. "Tseghakron" literally means "carrier of race" referring to those who represent and carry what is the spiritual and biological essence of the "classical" Armenian. However, it is often erroneously interpreted to mean "race-religion".

The Eagle of Taron as a symbol of Tseghakronism

The movement was founded by Garegin Nzhdeh, and, together with his associates Hayk Asatryan and Nerses Astvatsaturyan, was later refined into the ideology of Taronism (Տարոնականություն) - an organic part and continuation of Tseghakronism.
