Armenians were conscious of that they wouldn’t achieve the “Independent Armenia” goal without propaganda, agitation and vigorously activities. In a short period of time the committees and associations were established by the Armenians in many countries. Dasnaktsutyun Party, established in 1890, was prominent between these committee and associations. The most important features, distinguished the Dasnaktsutyun from the others, was that it reflected the most radical and the most aggressive part of Armenian nationalism However, using terrorist activities took an important place in its methods. The first program of the party clearly stated that his main goal: attaining the economic and political independence of Armenian of Turkey with using as a means of rebellion.

The first was “the language of tears”, means that taking the public support of big states with diplomatic activities, propaganda and agitation. The other was “sword method” means that using terrorist activities, starting armed gangs and prompting revolts in Turkey. The Russian archive documents have showed that the party was involved in intensive activities in a short period of time after the establishing, in 25 years, it made an endeavour to start armed gangs and to arm the people and with like these activities it paved the suitable way for enthusiastic foreign countries to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ottoman Empire.
