An Historical Evaluation of the Covenants of the Prophet Muḥammad and 'Alī Ibn Abī Ṭālib in the Matenadaran "2279
religions Article An Historical Evaluation of the Covenants of the Prophet † Muh. ammad and ‘Alı¯ ibn Abı¯ T. alib¯ in the Matenadaran Gayane Mkrtumyan Faculty of Oriental Studies, Yerevan State University, Yerevan 0025, Armenia; [email protected] † I would like to thank Prof. Ibrahim Zein and Mr. Ahmed El-Wakil for their kind assistance in finalizing this article. Abstract: This article analyzes the manuscripts in the Matenadaran in Yerevan, Armenia that are ascribed to the Prophet Muh. ammad and ‘Al¯ı ibn Ab¯ı T. alib¯ and their translations into Farsi and Armenian. These important manuscripts have until now been neglected by scholars, and so we will here provide a general overview of them and how they were received by the Armenian Apostolic Church. I herein demonstrate how these documents were recognized by Muslim authorities, shedding light on how Muslim rulers managed the affairs of their Christian subjects. These documents, it would seem, also influenced the decrees of Muslim rulers to the Armenian Apostolic Church. Keywords: covenant; Prophet Muhammad; Ali ibn Abi Talib; Matenadaran; Armenia; Armenian Apostolic Church 1. Introduction Citation: Mkrtumyan, Gayane. 2021. The Matenadaran, which is officially known as the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of An Historical Evaluation of the Ancient Manuscripts, is the world’s largest repository of Armenian manuscripts. Situated Covenants of the Prophet in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, the Matenadaran was established in 1959 CE during Muhammad and ‘Al¯ı ibn Ab¯ı Talib¯ in . the Soviet era, having incorporated the collection of manuscripts that was held by the the Matenadaran .

Are the Billboards Effective in Yerevan? Hovhannes Minasyan
Are the billboards effective in Yerevan? Hovhannes Minasyan American University of Armenia Research Methods Section B Maria Titizyan 09.12.2016 Abstract “Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you are doing but nobody else does.” ― Steuart Henderson Britt, Marketing Management and Administrative Action Companies spend thousands of dollars every month to place their advertising on these billboards. Usually they do not get return of investments, because the excessive amount of billboards makes the companies that advertise work on quantity not quality. Of course, if one uses half of the billboards of Yerevan, they will achieve their result, because the billboards that are positioned effectively will give a result and those which are positioned in a wrong place, will be a waste of money. To help marketing companies and businesses to make competent decisions, a research will be conducted. Answering the proposed research question will help advertisers and advertising agencies to optimize their work. People who seek means of advertising and cannot choose a proper tool will have a better understanding of the effectiveness of outdoor advertising. The research serves as a teaching material to marketing or advertising companies to learn more about the selection of advertising channels creation of a good message and to plan their media marketing campaigns accordingly. The marketing and advertising industry is rapidly moving itself into the internet and digitalizing the practice. It is vital to understand which traditional marketing and advertising channels are relevant nowadays to the advertisers and marketing professionals. Some practitioners consider some usual channels irrelevant and that those do not possess any common sense due to the fact that the internet industry and technology are developing very fast and it is easier to reach the potential audiences there. -
