Ofcourse cannot say.
No single person can acheive anything.
Its his ability to put in place the infrastructure be it terror or democracy to acheive the goals (vision).

Was the unity due to the person or that person's vision for the nation?

it depends on the person I would say but most of it is the person, people unite under people not ideas. Let's take Lenin as an example here, would communism have won in the SU without him and Trotsky?

Armenian has been united when we had a strong king to keep us united, look at any era when there was a strong king we were united but when our leaders became weak the unity was gong and you would see Armenians fighting Armenians. And us Armenians aren't the only ones the rest of the nations that inhabit this earth have the same problem look at world history.

Re: Armenian unity as a political, social and military force during the genocide year

hmm, this problem is not new. I know from our Armenian History that the Armenians were united:
1. During the regin of Tigran The Great
2. 1918 3 battles
3. Artsakh war
4. When the country or kingdom of Armenia was in critical danger.

So it is hard to be United. The world's major powers have always divided the smaller nations, unfortunanetely. But, if every single Armenian Unite, just like how the people of the country surrounded by arabs are, we would have that kind of country right now. Our Diaspora can be as powerful as theirs.
