The Tseghakron Movement (Armenian: Ցեղակրոնութիւն, romanized: Tsʿeghakrōnutʿiwn[a]) is a national/ethnic and political movement toward a renewal of the spiritual, behavioral and cultural identity of the Armenian people. The aim of the Tseghakron movement is to unite the Armenian people on the territory of their historical homeland within a single Armenian state.
The movement was started in the 1930s by Garegin Nzhdeh, who argued that racial identity occupy a preeminent place in Armenian national consciousness.[1] Together with his associates Hayk Asatryan and Nerses Astvatsaturyan, was later refined into an ideology called Taronism (Տարոնականութիւն[b]), a continuation of Tseghakron ideas.[citation needed]
