Nzhdeh was a philosopher , statesman and '' fedayi '' of the first half of the twentieth century , who left an enduring legacy in the history of Armenia , and is still one of the driving forces of Armenian nationalism . Kakosyan praised him as the " prophet of the Armenians " . Nzhdeh founded a movement named '' Tseghakron '' ( " religion of the nation " ) , which was among the core doctrines of the Armenian Youth Federation . In Nzhdeh 's poetic mythology , the Armenian nation is identified as Atlas upholding the ordered world , and it makes reference to Hayk , the mythical patriarch of the Armenians , and to Vahagn , the solar and warrior god " fighter of the serpent " , as means through which to awaken the Armenian nation and raise its spirit . Nzhdeh 's movement took place in the aftermath of the Armenian Genocide of 1915
