Summary
The examination of the administrative- political situation of Achaemenid Persia’s Cilician satrapy is significant not only for the history of that country, but also for the specification of the Satrapic Armenia’s territory and its southern- western boundaries, which have been incorrectly interpreted without any exception in specialized literature.
The multisided study of the primary sources shows that the Cilician satrapy was not an administrative constant unit, and its territory has been subjected to administrative changes by the Achaemenid Court. Despite its small territory Cilician satrapy had a big military importance for Achaemenids, and that situation did not change during the whole period of existence of Achaemenid Persia.
The examination shows that Cilician satrapy has never reached Melitene in north-eastern part, as the future country called Commagene belonged to Satrapic Armenia.

The commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in Soviet Armenia was closely related to the problem of overcoming administrative system’s resistance. The encaenia of the Genocide at the state level in Soviet Armenia became moral, psychological and political impetus for the actions made along those lines in the following years. The demonstration on April 24, 1965 and the nationwide commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Genocide made understand the USSR government that the Armenian people has already reached the level of self-consciousness and self-organization when it’s impossible to remain silent about that tragedy. In fact, for the first time under Soviet rule the Armenian people conducted a campaign of non-Soviet, noncommunist and political nature, but of national patriotic character. 1965 April protesters were mostly young people who were brought up in national spirit also during the commemorations of 1970-1980ss, in timely armed combat of Diaspora and then on the path of the restoration of independence of the Republic of Armenia and Karabakh movement.

Ex re the re-edition of Grigor Beledian’s novels
Summary
Haroutiun L. Kurkjian
The present essay attempts to analyze several prose works of diasporan author Grigor Beledian. The th ree works presented here, his first novels, “Semer” (“Thresholds”), “Harvadze” (“The Blow”) and “Nshan” (“Mark”), have been republished recently in a single tome by publisher Sarkis Khachents (Printinfo) in Armenia.
The article first examines G. Beledian’s first two decades of literary production, both prose and poetry (free verse), with which the reading public, not only in Armenia but also in the diaspora, is often unfamiliar, and which has not been sufficiently studied, in order to reveal the maturation process of the author’s choice of themes and prose technique.
The study then addresses the three aforementioned novels.
In conjunction with the critique of the works itself, the study seeks to appraise the “Beledian phenomenon” in contemporary Armenian literature, especially in the Diaspora. In this context, it is necessary to note that in the Middle Eastern communities, literary creation, especially in prose, stagnated during the half century following their establishment, due to the overbearing dominance of traditional stereotypes and the social and cultural isolation inherent to such communities, rendering them incapable of partaking in the international literary movements of their era. In contrast, the first generation of Armenian Diaspora authors in Europe had achieved notable success in the same domain.
G. Beledian’s work in the form of novels, the outcome of a highly personal literary conception and language, bridges the gap between the traditional literary practices of the past referenced to above and the contemporary world, creating a series of literary murals of unprecedented expanse and depth, personal testimony from the collective past of those Middle-Eastern communities.
