And His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!” But He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him? How he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests? Or have you not read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath, and are blameless? Yet I say to you that in this place there is One greater than the temple. But if you had known what this means, I desire mercy and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath”.

  • Armenian Migration, Settlement and Adjustment in Australia with Special Reference · to the Armenians in Sydney
    ARMENIAN MIGRATION, SETTLEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT IN AUSTRALIA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE · TO THE ARMENIANS IN SYDNEY by James Ray Kirkland A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Research School of Social Sciences of the· Australian National University March 1980 -244- CHAPTER VI MAINTENANCE OF ARMENIAN IDENTITY AND ETHNICITY IN AUSTRALIA - INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITIONS Most research on ethnic identity and ethnicity has been concerned not with its maintenance but with the patterns of its demise (Fishman, 1966d: 21). This is directly attributable to the attitude of earlier years that ethnic groups would always eventually die out. Thus, the emphasis was on how they disappeared rather than on how they managed to persist (Glazer and Moynihan, 1975b: 5). In Australia, st:udies qf ethnic identity have been made largely by social-psychologists, with the main emphasis being on how immigrants shed their ethnic identity anq .come to identify with Australian society· (Johnston, 1963; Phillips, 1968; Richardson, 1957; 1974; Taft, 1965). The underlying ·premise of most of these studies was that, over time, immigrants would eventually cease identifying with their ethnic groups and commence to identify with the greater Australian society at which stage they were con­ sidered to be "psychologi!:!ally ass:f.milated". More recent research, especially in the United States (Glazer and. Moynihan, 1975), has drawn attention to the persistence, or even resurgence, of ethnic group identity and to the means by which this is accomplished. It is now common to speak of "plural ·societies" where different ethnic groups maintain their separate ethnicities, while at the same time they are "integrated" into the larger society.

  • The Armenian Diaspora and Iran's Foreign Policy
    Journal of Iran and Central Eurasia Studies, Summer 2019, 2(1): 131-145 The Armenian Diaspora and Iran's Foreign Policy Akbar Valizadeh, Shiva Alizadeh Assistant Professor at the Department of Regional Studies, Faculty of Law & Political Science, University of Tehran, Iran Abstract Armenians of Iran cannot be considered part of the Armenian diaspora scattered around the world since they have lived in this territory for millennia. However, in terms of identity and historical memory, they share quite a lot with Armenian communities in other countries. As an Iranian ethnic group, they have played a decisive role in very eventful period of Iran’s history, especially since the last decade of 19th century when constitutionalism began to touch Iran’s intellectual circles. Over the next century, such a prominent role persisted to different extents. Today, Armenians still have remarkable capacities to be involved in resolving some of the domestic and international problems Iran faces. In this paper, we have tried to find out, "How can the presence of the Armenian community affect Iran's interests in terms of foreign relations?" Our hypothesis is that, "The presence of the Armenian community in Iran, with their own potentials and capacities of the larger Armenian diaspora in different parts of the world, will provide the Islamic Republic of Iran with opportunities to widen the scope of its foreign policy choices and as a result, boost its economic and political interests". This subject has been investigated in the article using a descriptive-analytical approach. Keywords: Armenia, Diaspora, Foreign Policy, Host Countries, Iran, Lobbying. Corresponding Author’s Email: [email protected] 132 Journal of Iran and Central Eurasia Studies, Summer 2019, 2(1): 131-145 Introduction Armenians have been territorially tied to Iran for millennia.

  • A History of Armenian Immigration to Southern California Daniel Fittante
    But Why Glendale? But Why Glendale? A History of Armenian Immigration to Southern California Daniel Fittante Abstract: Despite its many contributions to Los Angeles, the internally complex community of Armenian Angelenos remains enigmatically absent from academic print. As a result, its history remains untold. While Armenians live throughout Southern California, the greatest concentration exists in Glendale, where Armenians make up a demographic majority (approximately 40 percent of the population) and have done much to reconfigure this homogenous, sleepy, sundown town of the 1950s into an ethnically diverse and economically booming urban center. This article presents a brief history of Armenian immigration to Southern California and attempts to explain why Glendale has become the world’s most demographically concentrated Armenian diasporic hub. It does so by situating the history of Glendale’s Armenian community in a complex matrix of international, national, and local events. Keywords: California history, Glendale, Armenian diaspora, immigration, U.S. ethnic history Introduction Los Angeles contains the most visible Armenian diaspora worldwide; however yet it has received virtually no scholarly attention. The following pages begin to shed light on this community by providing a prefatory account of Armenians’ historical immigration to and settlement of Southern California. The following begins with a short history of Armenian migration to the United States. The article then hones in on Los Angeles, where the densest concentration of Armenians in the United States resides; within the greater Los Angeles area, Armenians make up an ethnic majority in Glendale. To date, the reasons for Armenians’ sudden and accelerated settlement of Glendale remains unclear. While many Angelenos and Armenian diasporans recognize Glendale as the epicenter of Armenian American habitation, no one has yet clarified why or how this came about.

  • Ethnic Identity and Stress Appraisal As Acculturative Stress Processes Among Armenian Americans
    ETHNIC IDENTITY AND STRESS APPRAISAL AS ACCULTURATIVE STRESS PROCESSES AMONG ARMENIAN AMERICANS By Tsolak Michael Kirakosyan A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Psychology: Academic Research Committee Membership Dr. Maria I. Iturbide, Committee Chair Dr. Amber Gaffney, Committee Member Dr. Brandilynn Villarreal, Committee Member Dr. Christopher L. Aberson, Program Graduate Coordinator May 2020 Abstract ETHNIC IDENTITY AND STRESS APPRAISAL AS ACCULTURATIVE STRESS PROCESSES AMONG ARMENIAN AMERICANS Tsolak Michael Kirakosyan The current study examined the role of ethnic identity and stress appraisal as buffers of the relationship between acculturative stress and wellbeing in a national sample of Armenian American adults between eighteen and thirty-nine years old (N = 159; 62.89% women, 32.08% men; mean age = 25.59, SD = 5.30). Acculturative stress positively correlated with depressive symptoms, and negatively with self-esteem and positive stress appraisal. Stronger ethnic identity affirmation and belonging was related to less depressive symptoms, more positive stress appraisal, and greater self-esteem and life satisfaction. In hierarchical linear regression analyses, acculturative stress significantly predicted more depressive symptoms, though it was not predictive of self-esteem or life satisfaction. Two-way interaction effects were not detected between acculturative stress and either intervening variable (i.e., ethnic identity or stress appraisal). Furthermore, the two-way interaction between ethnic identity and stress appraisal did not significantly predict the link between acculturative stress and wellbeing, nor was the three-way interaction between the predictor and the intervening variables. The discussion reviews sociocultural characteristics of the study sample and the population as a whole that may have contributed to these results.

The Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights the assurances of its highest consideration.

Article 14 of the constitution clearly bounds the Government and Muslim Iranians to observe ethics, moderation and Islamic justice toward non-Muslims as well as respecting their human rights. It needs to be mentioned that while all non-Muslims enjoy citizens rights, based on article 13 of the constitution, Zoroastrian, Jewish and Christian are recognized religious minorities. According to the Population and Housing Census, in 2011, Iran's population equals to 75149669 people among which 74682938 are Muslims (99.39%), 25271 Zoroastrian (0.03%), 117704 Christians (0.16%) and 8756 Jewish (0.01%).

  • The Armenian Community in Iran: Issues and Emigration’ (2019) 3 Global Campus Human Rights Journal 127-140
    G Iskandaryan ‘The Armenian community in Iran: Issues and emigration’ (2019) 3 Global Campus Human Rights Journal 127-140 https://doi.org/20.500.11825/991 The Armenian community in Iran: Issues and emigration Gohar Iskandaryan* Abstract: The Armenian-Iranian community has a history of around 400 years. According to official statistics, there were approximately 300 000 Armenians in Iran in 1960-1970. After the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1978-1979, a considerable number of Armenians fled from Iran. In addition, other reasons fuelling the emigration were the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war, the international sanctions against Iran and the harsh social-economic conditions in the country. Many Armenians remaining in Iran mostly live in the three communities of Tabriz, Tehran and Isfahan. Armenians are recognised by the state as a religious minority. The Constitution of Iran gives rights of domestic, cultural and religious autonomy to Armenians. At the same time, Islamic laws dictate certain limitations, notably in the spheres of equal employment opportunities, the court system and justice. Armenians in Iran adopt several approaches for retaining their Armenian identities, including the non-acceptance of mixed marriages. After the Islamic revolution, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society started to organise and support the emigration of Jews and other non-Muslim groups, thus propelling the next wave of the Iranian-Armenians’ exodus. Key words: Iran; Armenian community; Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society; Christians; religious minorities; emigration; rights; Islamic revolution 1Introduction Armenia, situated at the crossroads between the east and the west, has always been in the midst of conflicts. For centuries, Armenians tried to stay away from clashes and took refuge in more secure places.
