  • Religion in the South Caucasus
    CAUCASUS ANALYTICAL DIGEST No. 20, 11 October 2010 7 The Role of the Armenian Church During Military Conflicts By Harutyun Harutyunyan, Yerevan Abstract Throughout its history, Armenia frequently has been a battlefield for foreign forces. Consequently, Armenians have repeatedly been forced to fight for their freedom. Society highly valued such resistance and Church lead- ers glorified these combatants as heroes. During the Armenian–Persian war in the th5 century, the death of Christian soldiers was defined as self-sacrifice and the Church canonized them as “fighting martyrs.” This attitude towards sacred militarism continued to be evident from that time through the present. The main focus of the following article is to examine how the Armenian Church legitimized the use of violence, espe- cially during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict (1988–1994). For the future, it suggests a critical analysis of traditional Church–State relations and a complete separation between politics and religion. A History of Invasions the state religion and, with the blessing of the bishops, Since the beginning of the first millennium, Armenia started a campaign of compulsory conversion.

    Armenian Church News NOVEMBER 6, 2020 Volume 6, Issue 34 Diocese of the Armenian Church of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland A Call for Prayer and Fasting: For the Peace of our Homeland “So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer.” ( 2 Ezra 8:23) Dear Faithful, Joining the Armenian spiritual leaders of Europe, we call all faithful of our Diocese to dedicate the 6th of November to fasting by praying every hour of the day with these words: “Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, We rely on your mighty power, We cry out to you in prayers and ask: Stop the war in our homeland, Block the aggression of the enemy, Bring love and justice to the Armenian land, Sustain us in faith, hope, and love. Amen. In the evening of November the 6th at 6 pm, we call all faithful to join the leaders of our Church in Europe for prayer service. The service will be broadcasted live . We encourage you to join the service with the words of St. Gregory of Narek. The Fasting will end at the conclusion of the service. Fasting is based on Scripture and is a widespread Christian practice. It is a means to achieve the higher virtues of Christian life: justice, compassion, peace, and mutual up-building. Fasting is about making room for God and our neighbours by abstaining from our luxuries. It is always accompanied by prayer. Fasting helps us to simplify our lives, to find the courage to put aside everything non-essential and appeal to the only source of peace and healing, our Lord Jesus Christ.

  • Armenia SABER Country Report EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT 2012
    Armenia SABER Country Report EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT 2012 Policy Goals Status 1. Establishing an Enabling Environment The Republic of Armenia (RoA) has established strong national laws and regulations to promote the provision of ECD services. The National Program on the Protection of Children's Rights for 2004-2015 is a multi-sectoral ECD policy that comprises the education, health, and social protection sectors, and serves as an overarching umbrella to guarantee access to essential ECD services through national laws and regulations. 2. Implementing Widely The RoA has established national programs in all essential sectors of ECD. These efforts have resulted in increased equitable access to ECD services provided to young children and mothers, particularly in the area of health, but access to nutrition remains inequitable as reflected in the high stunting rate. In the education sector, the preprimary enrolment rate remains low. The net enrolment rate in preprimary school for children 3-6 years of age is only 33.9% countrywide, with significantly lower levels in some regions and particularly in rural areas. 3. Monitoring and Assuring Quality Child outcome indicators are collected in the health sector, but not in other relevant sectors. Armenia has well established minimum quality standards and requirements in health and education sectors. Compliance should, however, be enforced. There is a need to develop a comprehensive child development tracking system across sectors.

  • Financial Aid Provided to the Republic of Armenia and Its Regime in The
    JUNE-2020 ANALYSIS FINANCIAL AID PROVIDED TO THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA AND ITS REGIME IN THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES OF AZERBAIJAN BY THE ARMENIAN DIASPORA AFTER THE SO- CALLED “VELVET REVOLUTION” The rise to power of the My Step Alliance, led by Nikol Pashinyan, following the events dubbed the “velvet revolution” that took place from April 13 to May 8, 2018, in the Republic of Armenia led to an increase in the interest shown towards Armenia by both foreign countries and the Armenian diaspora. As a result, the amount of financial support allocated to Armenia and its regime in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan has also increased. Armenian organizations in different countries constantly allocate financial aid themselves, as well as calling on government representatives of the states in which they reside to make donations, arguing that “the newly created democracy needs assistance.” Unsurprisingly, such calls do not remain unanswered: the financial aid to Armenia and its regime in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan is directed towards different areas, such as healthcare, energy, infrastructure, education, political programs, agriculture, and so on. It is no secret that the Armenian diaspora is one of the most powerful in the world. Year by year, its representatives make huge donations and maintain the sustainability of Armenia and its regime in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan. This report, therefore, presents the most important allocations made by the diaspora since the so-called “velvet revolution.” The Armenian diaspora is now paying special attention to the development of the IT sector in Armenia and its regime in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.

  • 2017 AAV Article
    ‘Adopt-A-Village’ Making a difference, one Armenian village at a time By Alexander Galitsky Village-to-village Adopt-a-Village (AAV) is the brainchild of New Zealander Len Wicks and his wife Armine Hakobyan. The concept is straightforward: diasporan communities are matched with a region of Armenia and work collaboratively with leadership of local villages (and indirectly with local/regional governments) to undertake projects to benefit the community. AAV works in concert with two other projects: the ‘Origins’ project, a movie trilogy aimed at attracting tourism to the revitalised villages; and the Genocide Project that actively promotes recognition of crimes against humanity and the need for reparations. The concept of ‘Adopt-a-Village’ isn’t new - but it is unique. Several other projects that operate on a similar basis to micro-development have been undertaken in post-colonial indigenous communities and underdeveloped areas in South America, Africa and Southeast Asia. What differentiates AAV from other programs is its implementation. Whereas many other village adoption projects require a minimum funding threshold to undertake projects, AAV’s programs in many cases involve little or no cash, instead utilising a wealth of diasporan resources in direct person-to-person interaction, training, skill exchange and consultation. A fresh approach for diaspora-homeland relations AAV’s approach is also unique in terms of the Armenian diaspora’s role in homeland development. To date, the organised diaspora’s development strategy has been focused on political advocacy and lobbying for official development assistance from host governments. These initiatives perhaps add most value in terms of their capacity to engage with developmental institutions such as the UNDP and USAID.
