    Holy Trinity Armenian Apostolic Church of Greater Boston Fr. Vasken A. Kouzouian, Pastor DAJAR Newsletter | Winter/Spring 2018 Diocesan Assembly Elects the Very Rev. Fr. Daniel Findikyan as Primate of the Eastern Diocese The 116th Diocesan Assembly elected the Very Rev. Fr. Daniel Findikyan as the new Diocesan Primate on May 4, 2018, thus entering a new era of leadership. Following his election, Fr. Findikyan told the delegates he was “enormously humbled and honored that you have chosen me to be your next Primate.” He succeeds Archbishop Khajag Barsamian who, at 28 years, has become the longest serving Diocesan Primate. On May 8, His Holiness Karekin II, the Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, confirmed Fr. Findikyan’s election in a letter of blessing. A short enthronement service, on the occasion of the confirmation, was held in New York’s St. Vartan Cathedral, whereby Archbishop Khajag Barsamian ceremonially passed his staff of office to the new Primate. Fr. Findikyan is the 12th Primate of the Diocese and the first in its 120-year history born in the United States. Ordained as a celibate priest in 1997, and a noted international scholar of liturgics, Fr. Findikyan has served the Church as dean of St. Nersess Armenian Seminary and as director of the Krikor and Clara Zohrab Information Center, the Eastern Diocese’s research and scholarship facility. A native of Fort Worth, TX, Fr. Daniel is a graduate of St. Nersess Armenian Seminary. While studying at the Seminary, he earned a master’s degree in musicology at City University of New York.

  • Armenian Involvement in the 1925-1946 Kurdish Rebellions in Republican Turkey: Trying to Map the Origins of “Hidden Armenians
    Armenian Involvement in the 1925-1946 Kurdish Rebellions in Republican Turkey: Trying to Map the Origins of “Hidden Armenians By: GARABET K MOUMDJIAN Abstract: The history of Armenian-Kurdish relations extends over centuries. In the 1800’s, Armenians were involved in the Kurdish rebellions in Kurdistan proper. The rebellions were crushed by Ottoman military might.1 After the Armenian Genocide of 1915, a new phase of Armenian involvement in yet a new episode of Kurdish rebellions ensued in Republican Turkey. This new collusion lasted all the way to the late 1930s. The aim of the ARF (Armenian Revolutionary Federation, AKA Tashnagtsutyune) at the time was twofold: Dispersion into the Middle East was considered to be a temporary sojourn and the ARF was adamant in its thinking that Armenians should repatriate to their historic homeland. The ARF attempted such an adventurous plan due to its knowledge that many pockets of Armenians—ergo, what would later become known as “Hidden Armenians”—existed in the Eastern Provinces of the newly established Turkish Republic. Toward the end of World War II there was some optimism that the Soviet Union could reoccupy some of the historical Western Armenian lands and incorporate them into the Soviet Armenian Republic. The ARF, regardless of its ideological opposition to the Soviet Union at the time, agreed to a détente with its arch-enemy for such a nascent purpose. Having access to archival material from republican Turkey, the Soviet Union, Armenia, France, Britain, as well as the memoirs and letters of some prominent ARF leaders involved in the Kurdish rebellions of the time creates a unique opportunity to present a more detailed account about the period under.

Beginning on April 24, 1915, with the arrest of Armenian intellectuals and community leaders in Constantinople by Ottoman au- thorities, one and a half million Armenians were deported, massacred, or marched to their deaths in a campaign of ex- termination. We honor the victims of the Meds Yeghern so that the horrors of what happened are never lost to history. And we remember so that we remain ever-vigilant against the corrosive influence of hate in all its forms.

  • Directory of California Ethnic Media, Which Lists Almost 300 News Outlets — Print, Broadcast, Digital — Across the State
    NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER Ethnic Media Services, founded in 2018 to sustain and build on the work of New America Media, is pleased to publish our Directory of California Ethnic Media, which lists almost 300 news outlets — print, broadcast, digital — across the state. We are grateful for the support of key partners including California Black Media, ImpreMedia, Hoopa Radio, and the Center for Community & Ethnic Media, in compiling this list. The Directory aims to expand access to the sector at a time when communicating with California’s diverse communities has become more urgent than ever amidst the rollout of the 2020 census, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the economic turmoil it has generated. This Directory is a work-in-progress — in today’s highly fluid media landscape, we will update the online information monthly. Thanks to support from the Complete Count Committee Office 2020 Census and several national funders, we were able to expand our research and discover ethnic media platforms we never knew existed: podcasts, radio stations, weeklies, online news sites serving newly settled immigrants and long-siloed ethnic groups. The takeaway from our daily interactions with the sector is that despite the collapse of the business model that has decimated all media, the ethnic news outlets are determined to survive to inform and advocate for their audiences. Some of those outlets have been in opera- tion for decades while others are much newer. Their resilience is inspiring. Their role in creating an inclusive communications infrastruc- ture for this state is indispensable. We look forward to replicating the California Directory with a national listing of our ethnic media partners later this year.
