Acting Together Roadmag 2015-16 Գործելով Birlikte միասին Hareket Etmek Acting Together Հայոց ցեղասպանությունից հարյուր տարի անց մեր՝ Թուրքիայի, Հայաստանի և Գերմանիայի հիմնականում երիտասարդներից կազմված խումբը, Հայաստանի Հանրապետության տարածքում այցելեց Գյումրի, Արագածոտնի մարզ, Էջմիածին և Երևան: Մենք մտանք տներ և խոսեցինք մարդկանց հետ անցյալի մասին, հետաքրքրվեցինք նրանց ընտանիքների և հարևանների պատմություններով: Մեզ հետաքրքիր էր նրանց այժմյան վիճակը և ապագայի տեսլականը: Ջերմ ընդունելով՝ տանտերերը հաճախ իրենք էլ մեզ էին հարցեր ուղղում. նրանց հետաքրքրում էին մեր մասնագիտությունները, պատմության վերաբերյալ մեր դիրքորոշումը և մեր աշխատանքը: Թուրքիայից ժամանածներին հարցնում էին՝ արդյոք նրանք ճանաչում են ցեղասպանությունը, և թե մենք ինչ կարող ենք և պիտի անենք իրական հաշտության համար՝ ներառյալ ճանաչումը և ներողության հայցումը: Ճանապարհորդության ընթացքում հավաքված տպավորությունները, հույզերն ու գիտելիքները գրի են առնվել այս ճամփորդական հանդեսում: Հոդվածները շարադրվել են, քանի դեռ բոլոր տպավորությունները թարմ էին և անմշակ, քանի դեռ մենք ճամփորդում էինք և միասին աշխատում, շփվում իրար և օտար մարդկանց հետ՝ վերաբացահայտելով ինքներս մեզ և մեր շուրջը գտնվողներին: Ի սկզբանե այս ճամփորդությունը ծրագրավորված էր որպես Ստամբուլից Երևան ցամաքային ուղևորություն ցեղասպանության ճանապարհներով՝ Հայդար Փաշա գնացքի կայարանից (որտեղից ապրիլի 24-ին աքսորվել էին հայ մտավորականները) ճամփորդությունը պիտի հետագծեր տեղահան արված մտավորականների աքսորի ճանապարհը մինչև Այաշի և Չանքըրըի համակենտրոնացման վայրեր: Այնտեղից նախատեսել էինք շարժվել Թուրքիայի արևելյան կամ քրդական հատված՝ Դերսիմ, Վարթո և Աղրը, որը նաև պատմական Արևմտյան Հայաստանն է: Կտրելով այն տարածքները, որ որոշ փրկվածներ ստիպված էին անցնել ապահով վայրեր հասնելու համար՝ այն ժամանակ Ռուսական կայսրություն (մինչև 1917 թ.), իսկ այնուհետև Հայաստանի Առաջին Հանրապետություն (1918-1920 թթ.), ցանկանում էինք Վրաստանով հասնել Հայաստան: Հայաստանում մեր երթուղու մեջ էին Գյումրին, Արագածոտնի մարզի գյուղերը, Էջմիածինը և Երևանը: A hundred years after the Armenian Genocide, we – a group of mostly young people from Turkey, Armenia and Germany – travelled in autumn 2015 to Gyumri, Aragatsotn, Etchmiadzin and Yerevan in the Republic of Armenia. We entered homes and spoke with people about the past. We inquired about the history of their families and their neigh- bourhoods. We were curious about their current situation and their aspirations for the future. While welcoming us warmly, our hosts often interviewed us back: they were curious about our backgrounds, our stance on history and about what we were doing. The visitors from Turkey were asked if they recognized the Genocide and what we could and would do for a real reconciliation, including recognition and asking for forgiveness. 2 Ermeni soykırımından 100 yıl sonra, 2015 yılının güzünde biz – Türkiyeli, Er- menistanlı ve Almanyalı, çoğunlukla genç insanlardan oluşan bir grup – Ermenistan Cumhuriyetinde Gümrü, Aragatsotn, Eçmiatsin ve Erivan’ı ziyaret ettik. Evlere misafir olduk ve insanlarla eski zamanları konuştuk. Ailelerinin, komşularının tarihte neler yaşadıklarını sorduk. Güncel hayatlarını ve gelecek için düşüncelerini merak ettik. Bizi sıcacık bir şekilde ağırlayan ev sahipleri de bize sorular soruyorlardı: Bizi merak ediyorlardı, tarihe nasıl baktığımızı, neler yaptığımızı, neler düşündüklerimizi sual ediyorlardı. Türkiyeli arkadaşlara, Soykırımı tanıyıp tanımadıkları soruluyordu. Tanı- ma ve af dilemeyi de içeren gerçek bir barışma için ne yapabileceklerimiz ve yapmak istediklerimiz irdeleniyordu. Elinizde tuttuğunuz yol dergisinde, bu yolculuk esnasında edindiğimiz izle- nimleri, yaşadığımız duyguları ve öğrendiğimiz bilgileri topladık. Yazılarımızı, bütün bu tecrübelerimiz yeni, taptaze ve işlenmemişken derledik, gezideyken, birlikteyken yazdık, birbirimizle ve ziyaret ettiğimiz insanlarla konuşurken, paylaşırken, kendimizi ve etrafımızdakileri yeniden keşfederken kaleme aldık. İlk planımız, soykırımın izini sürerek, tehcir yollarında İstanbul’dan Erivan’a yol almaktı. Soykırımnın başlangıcı kabul edilen 24 Nisan’da Ermeni aydınların ölüme yollandıkları Haydarpaşa Garı’ndan yola koyulacak, gönderildikleri Ayaş ve Çankırı kamplarında sürecektik aydınların izini. Tehcir yolları, Türkiye’nin doğusunu, Kürt bölgelerini, tarihi Batı Ermenistan’ı gezecektik, Dersim, Varto ve Ağrı’ya gidecektik. Hayatta kalan bir çok insan için kurtuluş olan yollarını aşarak o zamanlarda Rus İm- paratorluğu (1917’ye kadar), sonra da birinci Ermenistan Cumhuriyeti (1918-1920) olan Ermenistan’a gidecektik, Gürcistan‘dan geçerek. Ermenistan’da Gümrü, Aragatsotn vilayetinin köyleri, Eçmiadzin ve Erivan vardı yolumuzda. Ancak Türk Silahlı Kuvvetleri ile PKK arasında yeniden çatışmaların başlaması ve DAİŞ terörizmi bizim güvenli bir şekilde Anadolu’da yol almamızı engelledi. Tarih boyunca bunca kırım, tehcir ve acı görmüş Anadolu toprakları, bugün yeniden bom- baları, göçleri, kan ve gözyaşını yaşıyor.

My name is Andre Altherr and I’ll be your Crisis Director for the Cabinet of Armenia: 1920 committee. I’m from New York City and am currently a Second Year at the University of Chicago majoring in History and Political Science. Despite once having a social life, I now spend my free-time on much tamer activities like reading 800-page books on Armenian history, reading 900-page books on Central European history, and relaxing with the best of Stephen King and 20th century sci-fi anthologies. When not reading, I enjoy hiking, watching Frasier, and trying to catch up on much needed sleep. I’ve helped run and participated in numerous Model UN conferences in both college and high school, and I believe that this activity has the potential to hone public speaking, develop your creativity and critical thinking, and ignite interest in new fields. Devin and I care very deeply about making this committee an inclusive space in which all of you feel safe, comfortable, and motivated to challenge yourself to grow as a delegate, statesperson, and human. We trust that you will conduct yourselves with maturity and tact when discussing sensitive subjects.

  • Translations from Armenian Into Bulgarian, 1991 to Date a Study by the Next Page Foundation in the Framework of the Book Platform Project
    Translations from Armenian into Bulgarian, 1991 to date a study by the Next Page Foundation in the framework of the Book Platform project conducted by Agop Ormandjiyan1 July 2012 1 Agop Ormandjiyan is armenologist and translator. This text is licensed under Creative Commons Translations from Armenian into Bulgarian, 1991 to date The traditional Bulgarian-Armenian cultural relations include also the translated Armenian literature in Bulgaria. The begging was after the Russian-Turkish war of 1878 and continues till today. During the 80s of XIX century some Armenian students in Sankt Petersburg translated from Bulgarian into Armenian several works of Luben Karavelov and Zahari Stoyanov on revolutionary theme, in order to raise the combat spirit of Armenian people against the Ottoman yoke. At the same time, in Bulgaria, are translated completely or partially some works from Armenian writers such as R. Patkanyan, Raffi, Kh. Abovian on revolutionary and daily topics. After the appearance of Peyo Yavorov’s elegy “Armenians”, among the intellectuals was shown a big interest toward this unknown old and new Armenian literature. In 1910 Ivan St. Andreychin publishes the anthology “Flowers of all fields”, which together with the world classic includes also works of Armenian poets such as Sayat-Nova, Nahapet Kuchak, Hovhannes Pluz. In 1942 Konstantin Dinolov publishes the anthology “Armenian poetry”. The second half of 20th century is more favourable for the development and the expansion of Armenian translation literature, in Bulgaria, especially during the period 1935-68. The compulsory presence of translation pieces of the SSSR’s literatures obliges the publishing houses to include in their publishing plans also the Armenian literature.

  • Shirak Guidebook
    Wuthering Heights of Shirak -the Land of Steppe and Sky YYerevanerevan 22013013 1 Facts About Shirak FOREWORD Mix up the vast open spaces of the Shirak steppe, the wuthering wind that sweeps through its heights, the snowcapped tops of Mt. Aragats and the dramatic gorges and sparkling lakes of Akhurian River. Sprinkle in the white sheep fl ocks and the cry of an eagle. Add churches, mysterious Urartian ruins, abundant wildlife and unique architecture. Th en top it all off with a turbulent history, Gyumri’s joi de vivre and Gurdjieff ’s mystical teaching, revealing a truly magnifi cent region fi lled with experi- ences to last you a lifetime. However, don’t be deceived that merely seeing all these highlights will give you a complete picture of what Shirak really is. Dig deeper and you’ll be surprised to fi nd that your fondest memories will most likely lie with the locals themselves. You’ll eas- ily be touched by these proud, witt y, and legendarily hospitable people, even if you cannot speak their language. Only when you meet its remarkable people will you understand this land and its powerful energy which emanates from their sculptures, paintings, music and poetry. Visiting the province takes creativity and imagination, as the tourist industry is at best ‘nascent’. A great deal of the current tourist fl ow consists of Diasporan Armenians seeking the opportunity to make personal contributions to their historic homeland, along with a few scatt ered independent travelers. Although there are some rural “rest- places” and picnic areas, they cater mainly to locals who want to unwind with hearty feasts and family chats, thus rarely providing any activities.
