Summary/Abstract: The study analyzes the attitude of the Armenian community from Bessarabia against the Union of the space between Prut and Dniester rivers with Romania and the moment of the constitution of the National Committee of the Armenians of Bessarabia. Also the study reconstructs the activity and the behavior of the Armenian origin deputy, Petre Z. Bajbeuc-Melicov, delegated in Sfatul Țării by the National Committee of the Armenians of Bessarabia, while the territory between the Prut and Dniester Rivers becomes part of the Romanian Kingdom. The author asserts that the behavior manifestations of the Armenian deputy, between 1917–1918 years and later, were guided by several objective and subjective factors, which took the form of the dual behavior. The actions carried in time by Petre Z. Bajbeuc-Melicov determined the reserved attitude of the Romanian authorities towards his personality.
