Isahakyan did not believe the promises made by the government of the Young Turks , regarding self-government and autonomy of Western Armenia . Assured that the danger of Panturkism ( which he believed was aimed at the total extinction of Armenians ) could be prevented by Turkey ’s supporter , Germany , Isahakyan went to Berlin . There , together with a number of German intellectuals , he participated in the German-Armenian movement , and edited the group ’s journal " Mesrob " and co-founded German – Armenian Society . The start of World War I and the horrifying massacres confirmed his gruesome predictions about the annihilating nature of the Young Turks government 's policies . After the war and the Armenian Genocide , Isahakyan described through his compositions the sorrow destiny and Armenians ’ heroic struggle for freedom . The poet put forward the genocide accusations , the worst part of which had taken place between 1915 – 1922 , in " The White Book " . During that period , Isahakyan expressed his ideas mainly through his social and political articles , in which he discussed the topics of the Armenian cause , reunification of Armenia and the restoration of the Armenian government . The images of the massacres are persistent in his poems , such as " Snow has Covered Everything ... " , " To Armenia ... " , and " Here Comes Spring Again "
