Ararat M. Hakobyan

Honored Historian Yervand Pambukyan, a grateful and distinguished historian of Armenian historiography, as a result of many years of diligent and painstaking research work, has put together and put on the reader’s table a valuable dictionary work, “Dictionary of pseudonyms of AR Federation (Dashnaktsutyun).

We are confident that this dictionary can play a very useful role in the future for a deeper and more comprehensive study of the history of the Dashnaktsutyun party in particular, and in a broader sense it will be valuable for the research of the history of Armenia of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 

THE FIVE NARRATIVE CODES OF ROLAND BARTHES IN HERMAN MELVILLE’S “BARTLEBY, THE SCRIVENER” – 2023-2

And its Armenian translation

Gohar K. Grigoryan

Herman Melville, one of the most influential writers of the 19th century, wrote “Bartleby, the Scrivener” in 1853 for Putnam’s magazine, which is considered one of his most representative works. His iconic short story “Bartleby, the Scrivener” brings to light the notion of alienation of a man in the capitalistic society. It has been a subject of intense critical scrutiny due to its ambiguous nature and enigmatic symbols.

THE VOICE OF THE MAJORITY OR PEOPLE’S INFALLIBILITY THESIS – 2023-2

Making the content of Gh. Aghayan’s work “Anahit” material for the cultural study I am not at all inclined to deny the presence of life truths in folklore in the worldview of the people. It is also an undeniable treasure of national and traditional realities of cultural and creative activity, long-established values, etc. The beginning of Armenian fairy tales “It happens, it does not happen” in its variations can be separate volume of study.

THE ARMENIAN QUESTION AT THE LAUSAN CONFERENCE – 2023-2

To the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne on July 24, 1923

Armen Ts. Marukyan

In the process of signing the Lausanne Treaty, the mandatory conditions and procedures for amending international treaties were not observed. Since neither the subjects nor the parties of the two treaties are identical, there is no reason to argue that the Treaty of Sèvres has been legally superseded by the Treaty of Lausanne. Based on this, it can be stated that the rights of the state parties to the Treaty of Sevres that are not parties to the Treaty of Lausanne, from a legal point of view, could not undergo any changes, in particular, the Treaty of Lausanne did not introduce any changes into the provisions of the Treaty of Sèvres regarding the rights and interests of Armenia.

MODERN ARMENIAN KHACHKAR CULTURE AND THE VANDALISM OF AZERBAIJAN – 2023-2

Anush A. Safaryan

The cross and the khachkar have been and remain one of the most important symbols of the Armenian identity, undergoing iconographic, thematic and content changes during their centuries-old existence. Azerbaijan’s official policy, in the way of creating its own identity, which was carried out at the expense of the Armenian identity and against that identity, often resorted to
the appropriation (Albanisation, Udiization) of the cross and the khachkar and finally its destruction. After the first Artsakh war, the khachkar, having undergone corresponding dimensional and iconographic changes, became the main symbol of the liberated territories, settlements and especially the borders.

Part three: The AR Federations’ connections and relationships with the Russian opposition and revolutionary parties on the eve of the First Russian Revolution (1901-1904)

Gevorg S. Khoudinyan

The article reveals that the tsarist regime in Russia, through its branched agency network, as a result of its persistent and consistent policy of governing oppressed peoples, exploited classes, and parties with radical sentiments, already on the eve of the first Russian Revolution, became a hostage of its own agency network, since its greatest dreg – Azefism – was the embryonic stem of its future revolutionary dictatorship.

PLAY AND THEATRICALITY IN CLASSICAL ATHENS – 2023-2

(plots, masks, and characters)

Albert A. Stepanyan

The main objective of this study is the metaphysics of the urban space of Athens in the classical age. It determined the forms of transition of the social behavior of citizens from ancient religious algorithmic rituals to creative theatricality. Both poles comprised various aspects of human life private and public, political and psychological, legal and religious. However, transitivity was not exhaustive: the poles, although modified, persisted for a long time.
