Armenian Congress of Eastern Armenians

Armenian Congress of Eastern Armenians

The Armenian Congress of Eastern Armenians was established in October 1917. It united the Armenian National Councils all around the Russian Armenia.

The Council worked like a provisional government, with ministries of military, refugees, health and education. It was based in Yerevan. Its decisions are accepted as the Armenian decisions; given the conditions it was the best "plenipotentiary" representative parlementery system of the eastern Armenians. It was a member of the Special Transcaucasian Committee.

It had the power to negotiate with the Ottoman Empire and the Central Powers and later the permanent executive committee selected by the congress declared the Democratic Republic of Armenia.
