Abstract
The author published two annotated letters addressed by Argentinean Armenian journalist and historian Ashot Artzruni (1902-1979) to Soviet Armenian poet Avetik Isahakian (1875-1957) in 1956. The first letter contains Artzruni's passing reference to an incident related to Isahakian a quarter of a century before, which was part of the final chapter of the protracted relation of Isahakian and the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, which the article reconstructs in detail.
Isahakian, a longtime member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, returned for the first time to Soviet Armenia in 1926. In 1930, after returning to Paris, where his family lived, he adopted a friendly stance towards the Soviet Armenian regime and started collaboration with pro-Soviet Armenian initiatives. This created friction with his fellow party members, which was exacerbated in June 1931, when Artzruni, a junior member of the party who had emigrated from Soviet Armenia in 1929, wrote a piece in the French Armenian daily Haratch, castigating Isahakian for his pro-Soviet stance. The article generated a brief, yet violent exchange in the French Armenian press.
