Erevan, Editions UEE, 2016, 120 p. ISBN 978-5-8084-2053-3 © Movsissian A. INTRODUCTION L’année 1915 a été fatale pour l’histoire de l’Arménie, et non seulement comme celle du génocide: c’est alors qu’a pris le début d’un tournant sans précédent de notre histoire, lorsque la majorité des Arméniens s’est dispersée dans le monde entier, alors que c’est la minorité des Arméniens qui continue à vivre sur la terre natale De nos jours aussi, 70% environ des Arméniens vivent dans la diaspora et 30% seulement sur leur terre natale. L’un des principaux objectifs des Arméniens dispersés à travers le monde est de préserver leur identité nationale en recevant une éducation arménienne. Malheureusement, toutes les communautés arméniennes ne possèdent pas d’écoles arméniennes. Souvent, nos communautés sont contraintes à se contenter d’écoles du dimanche qui deviennent des foyers d’arménienté où se réunissent les enfants arméniens vivant loin de leur patrie pour retrouver leurs origines et leur identité nationales.

  • Byzantine Missionaries, Foreign Rulers, and Christian Narratives (Ca
    Conversion and Empire: Byzantine Missionaries, Foreign Rulers, and Christian Narratives (ca. 300-900) by Alexander Borislavov Angelov A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor John V.A. Fine, Jr., Chair Professor Emeritus H. Don Cameron Professor Paul Christopher Johnson Professor Raymond H. Van Dam Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes © Alexander Borislavov Angelov 2011 To my mother Irina with all my love and gratitude ii Acknowledgements To put in words deepest feelings of gratitude to so many people and for so many things is to reflect on various encounters and influences. In a sense, it is to sketch out a singular narrative but of many personal “conversions.” So now, being here, I am looking back, and it all seems so clear and obvious. But, it is the historian in me that realizes best the numerous situations, emotions, and dilemmas that brought me where I am. I feel so profoundly thankful for a journey that even I, obsessed with planning, could not have fully anticipated. In a final analysis, as my dissertation grew so did I, but neither could have become better without the presence of the people or the institutions that I feel so fortunate to be able to acknowledge here. At the University of Michigan, I first thank my mentor John Fine for his tremendous academic support over the years, for his friendship always present when most needed, and for best illustrating to me how true knowledge does in fact produce better humanity.

  • Cilician Armenian Mediation in Crusader-Mongol Politics, C.1250-1350
    HAYTON OF KORYKOS AND LA FLOR DES ESTOIRES: CILICIAN ARMENIAN MEDIATION IN CRUSADER-MONGOL POLITICS, C.1250-1350 by Roubina Shnorhokian A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (January, 2015) Copyright ©Roubina Shnorhokian, 2015 Abstract Hayton’s La Flor des estoires de la terre d’Orient (1307) is typically viewed by scholars as a propagandistic piece of literature, which focuses on promoting the Ilkhanid Mongols as suitable allies for a western crusade. Written at the court of Pope Clement V in Poitiers in 1307, Hayton, a Cilician Armenian prince and diplomat, was well-versed in the diplomatic exchanges between the papacy and the Ilkhanate. This dissertation will explore his complex interests in Avignon, where he served as a political and cultural intermediary, using historical narrative, geography and military expertise to persuade and inform his Latin audience of the advantages of allying with the Mongols and sending aid to Cilician Armenia. This study will pay close attention to the ways in which his worldview as a Cilician Armenian informed his perceptions. By looking at a variety of sources from Armenian, Latin, Eastern Christian, and Arab traditions, this study will show that his knowledge was drawn extensively from his inter-cultural exchanges within the Mongol Empire and Cilician Armenia’s position as a medieval crossroads. The study of his career reflects the range of contacts of the Eurasian world. ii Acknowledgements This project would not have been possible without the financial support of SSHRC, the Marjorie McLean Oliver Graduate Scholarship, OGS, and Queen’s University.

Father Muron Aznikian 5 6 INTRODUCTION Have we ever compared the Bible to the US Constitution? We revere each of them, but there is more to it. For the Bible, we have a priest- hood which studies and interprets stories and commandments, giving us a set of values. For the US Constitution, we have a Supreme Court which studies and interprets the words of the American Founders, giv- ing us a body of laws. With that in mind, we look to Very Reverend Father Muron Aznikian as our interpreter in this book. Having studied the Bible in his theologi- cal training, Father Aznikian expounds on Biblical history and teach- ings in the many essays which he has written, in order to give us a set of Christian values and an understanding in our confusing times. We live in a fast-changing world, and the change seems to have accel- erated in recent years. Our culture and values are changing, brought about in part by radical advances in technology, in part because of pro- gress in the health sciences, and in part by the loss or gain in personal wealth. Father Aznikian provides Biblically-based answers in his essays to a number of timely topics, one or more of which touch upon the lives of all Armenians families throughout California and the world.

Some of these exarchs, like the famous Narsetes (Nerses) the Eunuch (541-568) and Isaac (Sahak) (625-644) were of Armenian origin. In this same period, the names of other Armenian leaders in Italy, under whose command fought numerous Armenian soldiers, are also remembered. In addition to these officers and soldiers were many Armenian traders and monastics in various Italian cities like Ravenna, Venice, Florence, Naples, Ancona, Rome and others. A new chapter in Armenian-Italian relations began in the 12th Century with the concurrence of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia and the Crusades. According to the dates provided by Father Alishan, between 1240 and 1350, there were twenty-two Italian cities that had an Armenian church, and in some cities like Rome, Bologna and Venice, there was more than one church (Alishan 1893). However, the dispersion of Armenians in Italy reached its peak in the mid-14th Century. The existence of numerous guesthouses, signs of an animated traffic of travelers and merchants, and the many convents with their notable cultural and literary activities, attest to an evolved and active community.
