    Social Change in Eleventh-Century Armenia: the Evidence from Tarōn Tim Greenwood (University of St Andrews)

    Social Change in Eleventh-Century Armenia: the evidence from Tarōn Tim Greenwood (University of St Andrews) The social history of tenth and eleventh-century Armenia has attracted little in the way of sustained research or scholarly analysis. Quite why this should be so is impossible to answer with any degree of confidence, for as shall be demonstrated below, it is not for want of contemporary sources. It may perhaps be linked to the formative phase of modern Armenian historical scholarship, in the second half of the nineteenth century, and its dominant mode of romantic nationalism. The accounts of political capitulation by Armenian kings and princes and consequent annexation of their territories by a resurgent Byzantium sat very uncomfortably with the prevailing political aspirations of the time which were validated through an imagined Armenian past centred on an independent Armenian polity and a united Armenian Church under the leadership of the Catholicos. Finding members of the Armenian elite voluntarily giving up their ancestral domains in exchange for status and territories in Byzantium did not advance the campaign for Armenian self-determination. It is also possible that the descriptions of widespread devastation suffered across many districts and regions of central and western Armenia at the hands of Seljuk forces in the eleventh century became simply too raw, too close to the lived experience and collective trauma of Armenians in these same districts at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, to warrant

    KAMRAN IMANOV Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery KAMRAN IMANOV * Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery The book - “Tall Armenian Tales”, presented to the reader’s attention, consists of two thematic sections. Chapter I, entitled “I came, I saw, I... stole”, is about the misappropriation and armenization of intellectual property of the Azerbaijani people, intellectual plagiarism of the Azerbaijani folklore, dastans (epics) and other epic works, the desire to seize the Azerbaijani bayati (Azerbaijani folk poems), proverbs and sayings. The book also narrates about the “armenization” of tales, anecdotes, music and other samples of folk genre. What is the common of these various manifestations of Armenian plagiary shown in the chapter “I came, I saw, ..., I stole”? The fact is that, firstly, these “tales” do not have an Armenian origin, but only an Armenian presentation. These tales are alien to the Armenian people; in addition, these are the same “anecdotes” in allegorical meaning of this term in the form of absurdities - false statements shown in Chapter II - “The Theatre of Absurd.” PREFACE .............................................................................................. 6 CHAPTER I. “I came, I saw,.. .1 stole”: about the Armenian tradition of misappropriation of the Azerbaijani cultural heritage ............................................................... 8 §1. “I c a m e , w h i c h briefly tells about the mass settlement of the Armenians in the South Caucasus .............................. 9 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS §2.

    Breaking the Ice: the Role of Civil

    The failure of the 2009 Protocols to establish and develop diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey has largely overshadowed the success of civil society organizations in advancing the normalization process over the past decade. This report aims to help address this imbalance through a detailed account Breaking the Ice: of the United States Department of State-funded “Dialogue-Building between Turkey and Armenia” project, implemented by the Global Political Trends Center (GPoT) of Istanbul Kültür University, Internews Network, Internews Armenia, the Yerevan Press Club and CAM Film between September 2010 and December 2011. The Role of Civil Society and Media in Including an introduction that analyzes the current “frozen” state and historical background of Turkish- Armenian relations, Breaking the Ice: The Role of Civil Society and Media in Turkey-Armenia Relations presents the writings and reflections of the dozens of Turkish and Armenian journalists and students who participated in the project. The output of the Dialogue-Building Project demonstrates the continued, if not Turkey-Armenia Relations heightened, importance of civil society and media-based initiatives in the Turkey-Armenia normalization process, post-Protocols.

In spite of the fact that more pragmatic revolutionaries attempted to convince the Armenian community that the Balkan model would not work for the Armenians because of demographic and geopolitical differences, the Armenian struggle for inde- pendence from the Ottoman Empire was waged in a way that was similar to the Balkan model. There is strong reason to believe that if the Armenians had had stron- ger British and Russian backing and constituted a slightly higher percentage of the population in the region of Eastern Anatolia that an independent Armenia would have emerged in Eastern Anatolia and Cilicia much in the same manner that an independent Bulgaria, Serbia, and Montenegro emerged in the Balkans.

    SCRIPT: Double Edged Sword:: The story of the Armenians Miriam Edward December 11, 2016 Fall 2016 Lead in: In 1915, first holocaust humanity has ever seen, the Armenian genocide. Many Armenians found safe haven in Egypt, and prospered here. This production is a message for all Egyptians and the Arab public, so that people never forget the Armenian genocide. And to remember that it didn’t destroy them, but made them the person you are today. MUSIC: (Josh Groban You raise meup- 0:1- 0:17 FADE IN) You think you know everything. But you don’t Egypt is a melting pot of different cultures and minorities and Egyptians are known for their hospitality. Accepting different nationalities, religions and ethnicities, but we unintentionally don’t fulfill the integrity we’re known for, MUSIC: (Josh Groban “You raise me up”- 0:1- 0:17 FADE OUT) MUSIC: ( Zara feat. Djivan Gasaparyan “Dle yaman”, 0:2- 0: 50 minutes FADE IN) as most people have no clue that there are 5,000 Armenians living in Egypt and some of them we meet and interact with on daily basis, not knowing who they truly are? Michael Reimer (MR): “In 1915 we have the beginning of a genocide, against the Armenians that was perpetrated by the Turk government in Istanbul.” (0:10) That was Dr. Michael Reimer, History professor at the American University in Cairo. MR: “There was a plan to destroy the Armenians population in the Ottoman Empire and in particular in Eastern Anatolia, which was the Armenian Homeland.” (0:10) 1 The geopolitical term Eastern Anatolia in fact refers to western Armenia, however now it is a Turkish state.
