Archbishop Torkom Manoogian, Primate October 2, 1989

To: The Reverend Clergy and Parish Council Chairmen

Our Diocesan office is printing special Christmas cards for this year which should be ready in the next week or two. Quantities will be sent to all our parishes for free distribution. You can tell us in advance how many you wish to have, and we will be happy to oblige you. All we ask is that they be promoted and utilized effectively.

The purpose?

Instead of making personal gifts to friends and relatives, people are being urged to make gifts to the Earthquake Fund in their name. The card is designed, with a verse printed in both Armenian and English, to be sent to friends, informing them that, instead of a gift to them, a donation is being made to the Fund in their name. Your parishioners should be given as many of these cards as they wish, with the proviso once again that they are not wasted; in fact, they should be encouraged to use this method of giving.

This year at least let us give in the true Christmas spirit, to those who are actually in need; and this year at least, for the benefit of compatriots in earthquake­ stricken .

There will be announcements in the community press introducing the idea, and indicating that cards may be secured from any of our churches, as well as from the Diocesan office.

Prayerfully, ~ i?A ('" a4· ;~ fVt~r~ Archbishop Torkom Manoogian Primate -----

Dear Der Hayr:

This is to confirm the pricing we spoke about yesterday concerning the duplication of a 60 minute video being prepared by the Diocese about the recent meeting between the Catholicos and representatives of Armenian organizations from the , Canada, Brazil and Argentina to formulate plans for earthquake relief and re-building in Armenia. We understand that 1000 copies will be needed, probably in the 1/2" VHS format NTSC. Since ·there were representatives from Argentina--and Brazil who may want to purchase these video tapes, please know that Argentina would use the PAL format. Brazil is an odd case since they use a peculiar format but our NTSC format can be used by them only they will see it in black & white instead of color. The following prices will apply:

ST. VARTAN PRESS RELEASES 'THE CHURCH OF ARMENIA'

St. Vartan Press recently published "The Church of Armenia," written by Malachia Onnanian, a former Armenian Patriarch of Constantinople. The book explores the Armenian Church's history, liturgy and literature. The book was written in French and first published in 1910. Armenian editions soon followed with the most recent English edition being published in 1955. The third revision of the text was made in 1988. The · book explores, in detail, the origins of the Armenian Church, its doctrines, obligations of worship, and the religious character of . The book's introduction written in 1912 by Anglican Bishop J.E.C. Welldon reads, "It is probable that no other book gives so clear an account of the Church of Armenia in so brief a space as that of Mgr. Onnanian."

Its simple and direct style makes The Church ofArmenia an excellent addition to any book collection. It is also a good reference source, one that would be a useful teaching tool for parents. Young would benefit from it immensely, particularly those in their late teens, an age where religious considerations may take on a more serious tone. The Church of Armenia is available in hardcover only (226 pages, $25.00)

This and other books and gifts can be purchased at the St. Vartan Bookstore at the Diocesan complex located at 630 Second Avenue, New York City.

'HISTORY OF ARMENIAN LITERATURE' PUBLISHED BY ST. VARTAN PRESS

"History of Armenian Literature" by Dr. James Etmekjian is a comprehensive text on Armenian literature and is the first book on the subject written in English. It covers the works of literary figures from the Golden Age of Saints Sahag and Mesrob, to the Silver Age of the twelfth century and the closing years of the thirteenth. Here one can learn about our literary forefathers, Yeghishe, Krikor Naregatsi, Nerses Shnorhali and scores of others. Dr. Etmekjian traces the development of Armenian literature giving special emphasis to the schools of religious poetry, doctrinal literature, the monastic centers, brotherhoods and historical writings. In the book's introduction, His Eminence Archbishop Torkom Manoogian, Primate of the Diocese of the Armenian Church of America, writes, "With deep understanding and sensitivity, Dr. Etmekjian traces the development of Armenian literature, the impact of Hellenistic culture on its early beginnings and later influences from Byzantine, Persian and Arab sources. It is a complex undertaking, made even more valuable with the addition of an extensive bibliography." Intended to be a three volume work, the recent and untimely death of Dr. Etmekjian leaves the body of his writing at the thirteenth century. The author was a survivor of the Genocide, whose father and other family members were murdered by Ottoman Turks. Dr.

Etmekjian came to the United States in 1927 and earned his Bachelor of Arts and Mas~ers in Arts degrees from Harvard University. During his successful writing and teaching career, he wrote "A Graded West Armenian Reader", "The French Influence on the Western Armenian Renaissance", and "Anthology of Western Armenian Literature." He also wrote countless literary criticisms, and articles on foreign languages, Armenian history and community affairs. "History of Armenian Literature" is available in paperback only (497 pages, $35.00) and can be purchased at the St. Vartan Bookstore at the Diocesan Complex located at 630 Second Avenue, New York City. The bookstore is open Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM-5:00 PM and on Sundays from 12:30 PM until 2:00PM. Purchase is also available by mail and can be arranged by calling 212- 686-0710 ext. 22. ### 7/10/89 July 7, 1989

To: The Reverend Clergy and Parish Council Chairmen Re: Gift of Bibles to Armenia on Occasion of 75th Anniversary

In a spirit of hope and renewal, one of the many projects planned in conJunction with the 75th commemora­ tion of the Genocide will be shipments of Bibles to Armenia. As Bibles are in great demand there, each Diocesan parish will be asked to purchase a certain number of Bibles (in Eastern Armenian) and forward them to Armenia as a personal gift of that community. Details of the program will be available shortly. We suggest that a special Bible Fund be established in each parish and the parishioners and their friends be encouraged to make donations of $10 (ten dollars) or more towards donating Bibles to Armenians in Armenia.

To: Al1ne Chatmaj1an/,/M/ Fl·om: Phil t1cGarrity p./.1', Re: Suspension of Petty Cash Privileges Date: June £0, 1989

Please De ddVlsed that effective immediately, your petty cash privileges have been suspended. Accordingly, all monies due you. regardless of the amount shall be reimbursed to you v1a cneck. I~ is unfortunate that it has become necessary to take th1s step, however. it is ~our failure to follow petty cash procedures that nas ·brought this about. Your repeated refusal to sign that you have recevied funds from petty cash const1tutes a bredch of internal control which cannot be tolerated.

Dear Fellow ArmeniaJ.l,

I am proud to announce that the second edition of the Armenian American Almanac (AAA) will be made available to the Armenian community in the near· future. This edition will not only include Armenian organizations in the U.S.A, but those in Canada as well. It will also cover biographies of Armenian physicians, dentists, judges and attorneys.

The Armenian American Almanac has become the authoritative source of information for Armenian communities and for those interested in learning about the Armenian culture and communities in the U.S.A and Canada. Sales of the first edition have exceeded our estimates, and I am offering to include information about your organization in this new edition in order to make it a much more comprehensive book than the first.

Preparing such a book is very expensive and time consuming. It requires a lot of effort and patience. However, I am very happy to conduct this research, and I feel certain that it will be a very useful reference book for the Armenian communities in the U.S.A. and Canada. ·

Your response to the enclosed questionnaires is extremely important. Please complete the appropriate questionnaires as thoroughly and as promptly as possible, and return them back to me no later than June 30, 1989, in order to be included in the second edition of. this book. Also, if you know of any Armenian media or organization that we missed in the first edition, please let us know. Organizations will not be charged for this inclusion.

To make Armenian American Almanac a much more valuable source of information, your assistance is highly appreciated. I look forward to receiving your completed questionnaires at your earliest convenience. I thank you for your cooperation. The second edition of the AAA is scheduled for publication in Spring 1990.

Sincerely yours,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

'MISSION OF MERCY' VIDEOTAPE NOW ON SALE AT ST. VARTAN BOOKSTORE Highlights Visit of His Holiness Vasken I and His Holiness Karekin II

To capture the momentous 1989 visit of His Holiness Vasken I, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, and His Holiness Karekin IT, Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia, the Diocese of the Armenian Church of America has produced a documentary videotape, "Mission Of Mercy", now available through the St. Vartan Bookstore.

The New York visit was a landmark in the history of the Armenian people, rallying all elements of the community for the sacred mission of reconstructing a ravaged land.

"Mission of Mercy" documents highlights of this important sojourn from the Hrashapar "Welcome" Service to the Divine Liturgy at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Also recorded are the meetings held at St. V artan Armenian Cathedral where our Supreme· Patriarch gave detailed guidance to the Church and to Armenian organizations for the rehabilitation of the city of Stepanavan.

For those unable to attend any of the services and hear the inspiring words of the two Catholioi, "Mission of Mercy" is invaluable. Less than sixty minutes in length, the videocassette is available at the cost of $25.00. Copies of the tape may also be available at your local parish. To order it directly from the Diocese, send a check or money order made payable to The Diocese of the Armenian Church in the amount of $28.00 ( $3.00 for shipping and handling) and mail it to: Diocese of the Armenian Church of America, 630 Second Avenue, New York, New York 10016.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW ITEMS AVAILABLE AT ST. VARTAN BOOKSTORE

Spring releases just in at the St. V artan Bookstore include three new books, Yoljuluk by W.N. Chambers, General Andranik and the Armenian Revolutionary Movement by Antranig Chalabian and Volume #19 of Documents ofArmenian Architecture, Gharabagh.

Yoljuluk (Turkish for "voyage") describes the missionary work of William Nesbitt Chambers during his 45 years with the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. The book offers fascinating descriptions of Chambers' close observations of Armenians, Kurds, and Turks in the Erzerum and Adana regions of Turkey. This interesting paperback is a quick read at 125 pages and a good buy at $5.50.

Recently translated into English, General Andranik and the Armenian Revolutionary Movement is a detailed account of contemporary Armenian history focusing on General Andranik Ozanian, an Armenian national hero. Written in a simple style, Mr. Chalabian's aim here is to sustain the interest of the layman rather than the sophisticated scholar. The book is excellent reading for anyone interested in history and in particular for Armenians as a source material. (588 pages, $35.00)

Gharabagh is the latest in a series of books on Armenian Architecture published by the Faculty of Architecture of the Milan Polytechnic Institute Academy of Sciences of the Armenian S.S.R. Lavishly illustrated with color photographs, the book beautifully shows how exhilarating Armenia's panoramas are as well as displaying important architectural structures. The detailed text is in both English and Italian. The book would make an excellent gift (107 pages, $32.00). All preceding volumes are available at the bookstore.

The bookstore also carries, on compact disc, the original master recording of Aram Khachaturian's ballet Gayane. Performed by the Georgian Symphony under the direction of Djansug Kakhidze, the ballet is in three acts and takes its name from its heroine Gayane, an Armenian woman of great spiritual strength. The story is set on a collective farm about the time of the outbreak of World War II in the . Its plot themes are universal, encompassing love, jealousy and friendship, nobility and betrayal. The double compact disc set includes an informative booklet featuring photos from a Soviet production of the ballet. At $25.00, the boxed set is moderately priced and would certainly be a valued addition for Khachaturian enthusiasts.

For those brushing up on their Armenian vocabulary, the two ninety-minute stereo cassettes released by V ocabulearn would be a useful tool. The tapes are designed to expand the user's comprehension and expression of Armenian words and phrases. ($15.00)

Children and adults alike will love the Ara and Mara! watch.

Re Gold Medals from Etchmiadzin:

Bill says that he has now in the safe 130 gold medals m and there are 20 given out but not returned to him.

16 medals were sold which brought $16,000.

There are three medals with Fr. Paren. (two sold) originally there were five.

No one seems to know how many meda 1 s 1trhe r e were originally.

I called Carol - she does not know nor she says has she records

Fr. Haigazoun - says that he does not know how many there were 1n the beginning.

* * * * * *

I think Bill should check if the missing medals are those that were sold and brought an income of $16,000 ($2,000 is from Fr. Paren's - that much I know).

Therefore thecamount of the medals originally brought either will be 150 or 142

MAGNIFICENT NEW, ILLUSTRATED BOOK ON MARTIROS SARYAN

Martiros Saryan (1890-1972), People•s Artist of the USSR and winner of the Lenin and St.ate prizes, was the founder of Soviet Armenian painting and is recognized as an artist of international significance. In Armenia he is referred to as 11 Varpet, 11 the honorary title meaning 11 Master 11 which has been conferred in only rare instances in Armenian history.

In tribute to Varpet Saryan, Sphinx Press, Inc., Madison, Conn., and Aurora Art Publishers, Leningrad, USSR, have published a magnificent oversized book on the late artist, featuring over 200 of his major works, representing all stages of his career. Photographs of Saryan and his family and contemporaries are also included. Many of the reproductions of oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, book illustrations and theatrical designs by the artist are from Soviet museums and private collections.

The text by the eminent Soviet art critic, Alexander Kamensky, gives a general suvery of Saryan•s creative work. The comprehensive catalogue was compiled by Shahen Khachatrian, Director of the Martiros Saryan Museum in , and Lucy Mirzoyan, Curator of the Museum.

During his long creative career, Saryan produced over 3,000 paintings, graphic works and theatrical designs marked by .. stylistic diversity and linked by a deep philosophical perception of life, adherence to national tradition, and highly original artistic skill ...

In his early career, Saryan was closely connected with the Russian art world in Moscow. Later, he studied the works of the French painters Paul Gauguin and Henri Matisse. He also had

-more- MARTIOS SARYAN .•. Page 2 thorough knowledge of the hi story of Armenian art and literature. All of this, according to critic Kamensky, 11 Made him an artist of marked individuality. His works are noted both for their universal character and a distinctively national flavor ...

The book was translated from the Russian by Ashken Mikoyan and designed by Nikolai Kutovoi. Here is the quintessential work on one of the great Armenian artists of this century. It can be purchased ($85.00) from the St. Vartan Bookstore, 630 Second Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10016-4885. Tel. (212) 686-0710.

"LAND,. LOVE, CENTURY," BOOK OF NEW AND SELECTED POEMS BY GEVORG EMIN, NOW AVAILABLE AT ST. VARTAN BOOKSTORE

11 Land, Love, Century, .. a book of new and selected poems by the acclaimed Armenian poet Gevorg Emin, is now available at the St. Vartan Bookstore.

This softcover volume has been translated by Martin Robbins and Tatul Sonentz-Papazian, and has a foreword by Soviet poet .

Accardi ng to Yevtushenko, Emi n • s poems .. reflect the best of the Armenian working people and intellectuals. Their qualities of spiritual nobility, respect for others, and the discreet expression of feelings ...

In his poetry, the Armenian-born Emi n touches on many subjects, due to his eclectic background. As a young man, he worked as a hydraulic engineer, a discipline he cites as important to his work. 11 Nothi ng 1 ike the exact sciences can help an author develop a sense of structual harmony, to avoid verbosity and dispense with the luxury of taking steps where one is sufficient, .. he recently wrote.

Emin was also influenced by his tenure in the great depository of Medieval Armenian manuscripts, the . World War II affected his poetry, as did the Genocide. 11 To be si 1 ent about the crimes committed around us and go on producing so-called •beautiful• literature is tantamount to being an accessory to those events, .. Emin has commented.

-more- "LAND, LOVE, CENTURY" ... Page 2

According to Robbins, "Emin's work speaks to both our heads and our hearts ••• "

Here is a sample of his work, entitled "Firefly.,:

"Oh, firefly, you stupid bug, Who told you, stubborn, relentless, To give off light alone there In the darkness -- a glow which warmed Everyone, but sad to say Gave away your position.

"If you gave off no light, Who could have spotted you, to cut Your life's short thread And throw you down, crushed.

"In this night's doubled black, I suffer for you and what you did."

•THE FORTIFICATIONS OF ARMENIAN CILICIA" -- A NEW BOOK BY NOTED SCHOLAR ROBERT W. EDWARDS

11 The Fortifications of ·Armenian Cilicia 11 is the title of an impressive volume by the noted scholar Robert W. Edwards. Published by the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, Washington, D.C., this handsomely-illustrated oversized book is available at the St. Vartan Bookstore.

Edwards spent many years researching Armenian ar-chitecture in Cilicia, including a year in the region itself. The kingdom of Cilicia, on the Mediterranean Sea, was the largest and politically the most si gni fi cant Medieval Armenian settlement outside the historic Armenian homeland in the Caucasus. From appro xi mate 1 y 1 0 8 0 to 13 7 5 , a co mm u n i ty of d i verse or i g i n s was s 1 ow 1 y fused i n to the k i n g do m• Edwards c 1 a i ms the Arm en i an s prospered in Cilicia largely because of the intricate network of defenses they created that 11 turned a natural cavity of the Taurus Mountains into a Mediterranean-based fortified march ...

This book is primarily a systematic assessment of the military architecture of the Cilician kingdom. While most of the sites discussed are Armenian, Edwards also includes a number of Muslim, Byzantine and Crusader forts.

The lively narrative is supplemented by 78 plans and drawings, plus 569 black and white and 48 color photographs.

Edwards credits a number of leading institutions and scholars for their advice and help in compiling the information for the book, including some prominent Armenians.
