Teotig’s “Everyone’s Almanac” as a Source of Epistolary Heritage

Abstract

The Armenian periodical has always been an arena of intercultural dialogue since its inception. The dialogue was largely determined by correspondence in its various manifestations from simple everyday elements to sharp literary and cultural disputes. In this regard, it’s important to mention the great role of “Everyone’s Teotig” by Shahan Shahnur in the formation of national artistic thinking, based on Teotig’s “Everyone’s Almanac.” “Everyone’s Almanac” responded to Armenian and foreign literary, political and cultural events, becoming a kind of evidence of the manifestations of the national literary movement (Eghia Temirdjipashian, Hagop Oshagan, Vahan Tekeyan, Ruben Sevak and many others).
