He was born into an Armenian family in Nor akhichevan(now part of Rostov-on- Don,Russia). In 1895, aged 15, he completed the Nakhichevan school and from 1897 to 1904 studied at the Moscow School of Arts, including in the workshops of Valentin Serov and Konstantin Korovin. He was heavily influenced by the work of Paul Gauguin and Henri Matisse. He exhibited his works in various shows. He had works shown at the Blue Rose Exhibit in Moscow. He first visited Armenia, then part of the Russian Empire, in 1901, visiting Lori, Shirak, Edjmiazin, Haghpat, Sanahin, Yereva and Sevan. He composed his first landscapes depicting Armenia: “Makravank," 1902; "Aragats," 1902; "Buffalo. Sevan", 1903; "Evening in the Garden," 1903; "In the Armenian village", 1903, etc. which were highly praised in the Moscow press. From 1910 to 1913 he traveled extensively in Turkey, Egypt and Iran. In 1915 he went to Echmiadzin to help refugees who had fled from the Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire. In 1916 he traveled to Tiflis (now Tbilisi) where he married Lusik Agaian. It was there that he helped organize the Society of Armenian Artists. After the Bolshevik seizure of power in 1917 he went with his family to live in Russia. In 1921 they moved to Armenia. While most of his work reflected the Armenian landscape, he also designed the coat of arms for Armenian SSR and designed the curtain for the first Armenian state theatre. From 1926 - 1928 he lived and worked in Paris, but most works from this period were destroyed in a fire on board the boat on which he returned to the Soviet Union. In the difficult years of the 1930s, he mainly devoted himself again to landscape painting, as well as portraits. He also was chosen as a deputy to the USSR Supreme Soviet and was awarded the Order of Lenin three times and other awards and medals. Sarian died in Yerevan on 5 May 1972. His former home in Yerevan is now a museum dedicated to his work with hundreds of items on display. He was buried in Yerevan at the Pantheon next to Komitas Vardapet..

The HOMENETMEN LEADER's GUIDE
The HOMENETMEN LEADER’S GUIDE Հ.Մ.Ը.Մ.ական ՂԵԿԱՎԱՐԻ ՈՒՂԵՑՈՅՑ English Version Second Edition 2.1 February 2019 Prepared by: Dr. Shahe Yeni-Komshian Commissioned by: Homenetmen Western USA Regional Executive Board Sponsored by: Homenetmen Central Executive Board The content of the Homenetmen Leader’s Guide includes original writings by SY, as well as edited past documents and/or reproduction of already prepared documents. The Guide is available on-line as an e-document, at: www. Homenetmen.net The Homenetmen Leader’s Guide was Developed on the Occasion of the 100th Anniversary of HOMENETMEN As a Tribute to its Remarkable Contribution to Armenian Society, In the Hopes of Educating Future Generations of Leaders to Carry on the Torch. SY 2 PREFACE Homenetmen has bylaws, rules and regulations, but no formal leadership development program. Governing bodies also do not have a comprehensive orientation guide for new board members. Hence this guidebook. This Guide is primarily written for the leadership of Western USA Region. However, the entire Homenetmen family with all of its Regions and Chapters could use this guidebook, with minor adjustments of region specific information. WHY Do We Need to HAVE a GUIDE for LEADERS? Every nonprofit organization needs a board development process. Homenetmen has to give tools to those leaders who are expected to lead our youth, to better explain to them their role and responsibilities, educate them about their position and functions and help improve their performance. Quality leaders are better mentors. This Guide may be utilized for two purposes: 1. As a reference handbook, adopted by any Homenetmen leader, or 2.

Fake “Armenian Province” in the Azerbaijani Territories

Bilindiği üzere, yıllardır Ermeniler “Büyük Ermenistan” düşüncesini gerçekleştirmek için bütün araçlara baş vurmuşlar. Amaçlarına ulaşmak için asırlar boyunca büyük güçlerin yardımına mazhar olmuşlar. Onlar için en önemli fırsat XIX. yüzyılın ilk çeğreğinde Güney Kafkasya’nın, özellikle Azerbaycan topraklarının Çarlık Rusyası tarafından işgali sonucu ortaya çıkmış, sonuçta Nahçıvan ve Erivan hanlıkları ilhak edildikten sonra bu topraklar üzerinde yapay Ermeni Vilayeti oluşturuldu. Makalede Ermeni Vilayeti’nin oluşturulması, yönetim sistemi ve akıbeti hakkında geniş bilgi verilmektedir. Anahtar kelmeler: Azerbaycan, Ermeni Vilayeti, Nahçıvan, Erivan, Rusya. Introduction Leap years Armenian chauvinists resort to everything to gain their “Great Armenia” wishes. For to gain their wishes they are fawning on to some greatest and powerful states of the world. In the IV century the Armenian state is known to be rubbed out the stage of history. It was divided between Iran and Byzantium in 387. And in 428 the Iranian Armenian tsardom was put an end.1 In the XI-XIV centuries there only existed Kilikiya, the Armenian tsardom in the Turkish territories. No real Armenian state existed till the beginning of the XX century. Because they have lived in the territories of various states. From the beginning of the XVIII century Armenians endeavour to form their state in the territories of Azerbaijan.2 Russia has always supported those Armenian intentions and directed them to their own actions.

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. Of those who survived, most were forced to find new homes and new lives around the world, including in the A large crowd turned out for the Boston April 24 commemoration.

The Attempts of Armenianization of Nakhchivan by Tsarist Russia
1 Revista Dilemas Contemporáneos: Educación, Política y Valores. http://www.dilemascontemporaneoseducacionpoliticayvalores.com/ Año: VIII Número: Edición Especial. Artículo no.:30 Período: Marzo, 2021 TÍTULO: Los intentos de armenización de Nakhchivan por la Rusia zarista. AUTOR: 1. PhD. Cand. Zamin Aliyev. RESUMEN: Los armenios intentaron establecer un estado después de la consolidación en los territorios donde fueron trasladados por Rusia. Los armenios se ocupan de la existencia de un "estado armenio" artificial en el siglo IV; sin embargo, tal estado no existió en la historia, tal vez fue como un organismo local de autoadministración. Aunque el tratado de Turkmenchai, en el que la Rusia victoriosa instó al derrotado estado de Gajar a firmar en la primera mitad del siglo XIX, fue considerado una oportunidad para los armenios, más tarde provocó la instigación de los conflictos nacionales en el sur del Cáucaso. Los armenios se establecieron en Irevan, Kharabakh y Nakhchivan, que eran partes integrales de la antigua tierra turca, Azerbaiyán. Sobre la base de los hechos históricos, es posible señalar que las regiones de Irevan, Kharabakh y Nakhchivan eran partes de los términos geográficos de Azerbaiyán. PALABRAS CLAVES: ocupación, reclamación, "Gran Armenia", Nakhchivan, Kalbali. TITLE: The attempts of armenianization of Nakhchivan by Tsarist Russia. AUTHOR: 1. PhD. Cand. Zamin Aliyev. 2 ABSTRACT: The Armenians tried to establish a state after consolidation in the territories where they were moved by Russia. The Armenians deal with the existence of artificial “Armenian state” in IV century. However, such a state did not exist in history, perhaps it was just like a local self- administrative body.

Armenians of Russia: Geo-Demographic Trends of the Past, Modern Realities and Prospects
ARMENIANS OF RUSSIA: GEO-DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS OF THE PAST, MODERN REALITIES AND PROSPECTS SERGEIY SUSHCHIY The article analyzes the quantitative growth, spatial dynamics, gender structure and form of resettlement of the Armenian population of Russia in the 18th-20th centuries. The demographic correlation of the largest regional communities at different stages of their development are studied, and the main historical periods of the geo-demographic dynamics of the Armenians of Russia are determined. The first stage can be designated as "South Russian" (second third of the 18th century – 1920s). At this time, the overwhelming majority of the Armenian population of Russia was concentrated within the southern macroregion. In the second stage (mid-1920s – first half of the 1980s), Armenians resettled almost throughout the entire territory of the RSFSR, but represented internally weakly connected ethnic groups. The third period (the second half of the 1980s – the present) is associated with the transformation of these groups into developed regional communities. Three centuries of quantitative growth allowed Armenians to become one of the largest ethnic groups in the Russian Federation by the beginning of the 21st century. In the medium term (by 2030), with a favorable scenario of demographic dynamics, Armenians will be able to take the third position in the demographic ranking of the peoples of Russia (after the Russians and Tatars). Key words: geo-demographic dynamics, Armenian population of Russia, regional diasporas, migration processes, resettlement system, gender balance. Given the historically changing dynamics of the territorial limits of the Russian state, we will consider the geodemographic dynamics of the Armenian population within the spatial boundaries of the modern Russian Federation (as of 2018).
