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. -

Conversion of Armenia

THE RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY 56 PATERNOSTER ROW AND 65 ST. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD [A /l n'ghts reserved J PREFACE DURING the last few years the world ha~ witnessed a terribl.e spectacle. We nave seen a Christian nation in Asia, of the same Aryan blood as ourselves, suffering the most cruel wrongs at the hands of the Turks and their confederates, the Kurds. We have seen members of this Christian nation, men and women and little children, massacred in tens qf thousands, and our illustrated papers have presented us with photographic views of some of these terrible scenes. We have read of large numbers dying a martyr's death rather than embrace Islam, and have heard of those who had less courage and faith being driven at the point of the sword to repeat the ,creed of the. Arabian Antichrist. We have beheld some thing more strange still - the Christian nations of Europe hampered in their endeavours to put a stop to this state of things by their mutual ·distrust and jealousy of one another. And thus, as we draw near the end of the nineteenth century, our news papers are quietly discussing the question whether or not Turkey will succeed in exterminating the 6 PREFACE whole Christian population of her Armenian provinces, or in forcing upon them, at the sword's point, an apostasy worse than death. -

On Structural Particularities of Armenian Genocide and Jewish Holocaust1,2
TRAUMA AND IDENTITY: ON STRUCTURAL PARTICULARITIES OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE AND JEWISH HOLOCAUST1,2 Harutyun Marutyan Comparison of the Armenian Genocide and Jewish Holocaust memories allows us not only to discuss questions important for Armenian sociopolitical and scienti fi c thought regarding the start of the 21st century, but also for deriving useful lessons. The problems are examined from the point of view of memory stu dies and identity politics. The internationally recognized term “Holocaust” was used to characterize the Armenian mas sacres as far back as the end of the 19th century – beginning of the 20th century. The perception of a “unique” Holocaust and “primacy” of the Armenian Genocide in the 20th century are actually different characteristics of the same phenomenon: in the case of examination of the question from this point of view, the factor of “historiographical competitiveness” is gaining a secondary role, although it still exists in different manifestations of the collective memory. Giving priority to the ideological factor in the assessment of the organization and implementation of genocides allows Jews and Armenians alike to avoid the manifestations of ethnic opposition and to appear to the world in a more (from the point of view of Western values) preferable fashion. The Jewish institute of The Righteous Among the Nations cannot serve as a model for Armenians because of the absence of the factor of unselfi shness (in a great variety of cases) in the rescue of Armenian lives. In the Jewish, as well as in the Armenian memory, there is a fi ght against the stereotype of “being slaughtered like sheep”: in the Jewish case, the activities are mostly transferred to the fi eld of “moral resistance”, while in the Armenian case, the resistance of the Armenian people has not been emphasized as has the Jewish struggles, underground fi ghts and rebellions. -
Copper Pollution in Lesser Caucasus at the Origin of the Greatest History
EDDA How H2a1 MtDNA Lineages in Lesser Caucasus have recorded and transmitted the most ancient and longest lasting Human Testimony, describing the Transition between Neolithic and Eneolithic on the Kura-Araxes Rivers, the Rise of R1a Y- Chromosome lineages who triggered a Military pendular Migration in Eurasia and the founding Events of the Achaemenid Empire Marc-Olivier Rondu To Gloria, my grandmother, the little shepherdess of Pandoses who drove the cattle in the mountain Cover Picture: Noble Woman from Shushi, early 20th century Legal deposit: July 2017 Copyright © 2017 Marc-Olivier Rondu all rights reserved 2 The modern phylogeography of H2a1 MtDNA questioned us about the origin of the haplogroup and why it has spread worldwide in a star like shape pattern whose symmetric centre is located in Lesser Caucasus. Our research led us back to the Lesser Caucasus during Holocene where the obsidian and riches mining resources attracted foreign populations who settled among Hunter Gatherers in a narrow band of highlands. While the use of obsidian continued locally, metallurgy and trade at long distance dominated the global stakes, transforming the highlands formerly dominated by Farmers and Hunter Gatherers into a cosmopolitan hub of exchange. Pressure and competition between representatives of foreign communities who managed the providing of precious resources increased the social impact of ‘genetic incidents’ which occurred in a single brotherhood born from a ruling couple represented today by the young male found in the Areni-1 Bird’s Eye Cave (L1a/ H2a1 MtDNA). Thanks to ancient sources and ancient DNA, we demonstrate in that paper that recurrent metal pollution (copper) is suspected to be responsible of a Oculocutaneous Albinism in a brotherhood born in ruling family from the southern Lesser Caucasus. -

Country and Sector Background Azerbaijan is a mountainous country of 86,600 km2 and a population of about 8 million people. It lies on the western coast of the Caspian Sea among the mountain ranges of the Greater and Lesser Caucasus and the Talish mountains. Mountains cover about 44% of the territory, and forests cover about 11%. Azerbaijan is facing many of the same challenges as other CIS transition economies, including a daunting agenda of policy and institutional reforms needed to redefine the role of the state and create essential underpinnings of a market economy. One of the six strategic pillars of the State Program on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development (SPPRED) is an enabling environment for income-generating opportunities. While the overall economy is improving as a result of oil development, this is not reflected in the mountain areas, where most people fall under the poverty line of US$ 24 per month (average income is $16 per month in villages above 2000 meters).
