  • Constructing Primordialism: Old Histories for New Nations
    Constructing Primordialism: Old Histories for New Nations Ronald Grigor Suny The University of Chicago “Oi, mister! Indo-Aryans… it looks like I am Western after all! Maybe I should listen to Tina Turner, wear the itsy-bitsy leather skirts. Pah. It just goes to show,”said Alsana, revealing her English tongue, "“you go back and back and back and it’s still easier to find the correct Hoover bag than to find one pure person, one pure faith, on the globe. Do you think anybody is English? Really English? It’s a fairy tale!”1 For Alsana, an immigrant from Bangladesh to the multicultural mosaic of London, there cannot be a real Bengali or Englishman in the hybrid, free-flowing, unpredictable world that she has experienced. She tries to tell her stubborn, traditionalist husband, Samad Iqbal, to live and let live, but he fears his family is losing its culture. To reverse the irreversible he makes a ferocious attempt to save his family, only to destroy it. What Alsana calls a fairy tale – the attainment or recovery of a fixed, pure, eternal identity -- is a powerful and durable reality for her husband – and like many other fairy tales it shapes the world in which we live. I met up with this kind of desperate loyalty to ethnicity and an unalterable sense of nation most dramatically in July 1997 at a conference at the American University of Armenia in Erevan. Returning to Armenia after a seven-year absence (a time in which Soviet Armenia became the independent Republic of Armenia), I entered a world I thought I knew but that had changed significantly.

  • Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery KAMRAN IMANOV * Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery
    KAMRAN IMANOV Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery KAMRAN IMANOV * Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery The book - “Tall Armenian Tales”, presented to the reader’s attention, consists of two thematic sections. Chapter I, entitled “I came, I saw, I... stole”, is about the misappropriation and armenization of intellectual property of the Azerbaijani people, intellectual plagiarism of the Azerbaijani folklore, dastans (epics) and other epic works, the desire to seize the Azerbaijani bayati (Azerbaijani folk poems), proverbs and sayings. The book also narrates about the “armenization” of tales, anecdotes, music and other samples of folk genre. What is the common of these various manifestations of Armenian plagiary shown in the chapter “I came, I saw, ..., I stole”? The fact is that, firstly, these “tales” do not have an Armenian origin, but only an Armenian presentation. These tales are alien to the Armenian people; in addition, these are the same “anecdotes” in allegorical meaning of this term in the form of absurdities - false statements shown in Chapter II - “The Theatre of Absurd.” PREFACE .............................................................................................. 6 CHAPTER I. “I came, I saw,.. .1 stole”: about the Armenian tradition of misappropriation of the Azerbaijani cultural heritage ............................................................... 8 §1. “I c a m e , w h i c h briefly tells about the mass settlement of the Armenians in the South Caucasus .............................. 9 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS §2.

  • About the Toponym Vanand
    56th Science Conference of Ruse University, Bulgaria, 2017 FRI-2.207-1-HEF-01 ABOUT THE TOPONYM VANAND Assis. Prof. Reneta Zlateva, PhD Faculty of Natural Sciences and Education “Angel Kanchev” University of Ruse, Bulgaria Рhone: 082/ 888 752 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The Bulgarians are mentioned in historical sources in the vicinity of the Caucasus (region between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea and occupied by Rusia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia). The author of the article present some of the toponyms from a territory, which have a connection with the Bulgarians. On the basis of the historical sources and the toponymic matches in Modern Bulgaria are presented some parallels. Keywords: Vanand, toponyms, Caucasus area, Bulgarians INTRODUCTION The rightful defining of the toponymics outlines of the out numerous Bulgarian people would emerged an important historical places and regions. This will play a huge role in defining the migrations, developments and ethno-cultural contacts of the Bulgarians. In the present research is presented hypothesis about the toponym Vanand, located on the territory of Caucasus. Moreover, many years ago the Bulgarians are mentioned in historical sources in this region.

  • Who Is David the Invincible Philosopher?
    Who is David the Invincible Philosopher? To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding Proverbs 1:2 Famously, this verse from the beginning of the Book of Proverbs was the first thing written down in the newly invented Armenian alphabet. Wisdom, imasdutyun, is the root of the word for philosophy in Armenian, imasdasirutyun, which directly reflects the Greek, meaning “love of wisdom.” After the creation of the Armenian alphabet by Mesrob Masdotz in 405 AD, his students produced a flurry of translation into Armenian. It is this activity of learned translation of edifying works into Armenian that the Armenian Church celebrates this Saturday. We recall the “Holy Translators,” a list that includes Mesrob himself, early writers and translators such as Yeghishe (who wrote the history of St. Vartan), as well as later translators such as Nersess Shnorhali. Among the list of Holy Translators we commemorate this Saturday is one “David the Philosopher.” While his title of philosopher, a lover of wisdom, points to that first moment of translation into Armenian and provides us with a glimpse of the goals and objectives of those translators, he is not as well known a figure as Masdotz, Yeghishe, or Shnorhali. Who is “David the Philosopher,” and why is a philosopher recognized as a holy translator? Often called “David the Invincible Philosopher,” the figure of David is best known through his texts, which became absolutely central to Armenian literary and philosophical history. He has left us four major texts: two translations and commentaries on works of Aristotle (Categories and Analytics), a commentary on the neo-Platonist philosopher Porphyry’s Isagoge, and perhaps his most well-known work, Definitions and Divisions of Philosophy.

  • Traditional Armenian Instrumental Music That Was Lacking Has Finally Arrived!
    GERARD MADILIAN TRADITIONAL ARMENIAN INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC Jan. 2020 GERARD MADILIAN TRADITIONAL ARMENIAN INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC 1 2 FOREWORD Transmitted from generation to generation, and moving away from its rural origins to perpetuate itself in an urban context, Armenian traditional music has not lost its original strength. History has buried many secrets along the way, but we will try to gather together this heritage through the work of passionate musicologists. This work is neither a manual nor an encyclopedia, but instead presents a synthesis of knowledge acquired over time. It is dedicated to all those who wish to discover or better understand this unusual musical universe. Armenian words transcribed into English (phonetic of Eastern Armenian) will be indicated with a capital first letter and will remain in the singular. The author 3 4 PREFACE The long-awaited book on traditional Armenian instrumental music that was lacking has finally arrived! As my long-time friend Gerard Madilian wrote in his foreword: "History has buried many secrets along the way." It was thus urgent to share the fruits of this research with the general public, and that is why this work was deliberately written in French and translated into English, to make it widely available to as many people as possible. This book is a digest including the essential elements needed to form an opinion in this area. The specialized website www.armentrad.org was in fact selected by the author for this purpose of dissemination. I have shared the same passion with Gerard for many years, having myself practiced the Tar within the Sayat Nova ensemble, which was a traditional Armenian ensemble founded in Paris in 1965.

  • Biblical Mt. Ararat: Two Identifications
    68 Armen Petrosyan: Biblical Mt. Ararat: Two Identifications Biblical Mt. Ararat: Two Identifications ARMEN PETROSYAN Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, Yerevan, Armenia Abstract: The biblical Ararat, mountain of landing of Noah’s Ark has two general identifications in the Armenian Highland: Mountain of Corduena (modern Cudi dağı) and Masis (Ararat, Ağrı dağı), situated respectively in the extreme south-east and extreme north- east of modern Turkey). The ancient sources actualized the first localization. Since the 12th century the second became more and more popular. The paper deals with the myths and legends associated with those mountains and the history of identification of the biblical Ararat. Ararat, the mountain of the landing of Noah’s Ark, has been identified in various locations, but up until now two main candidates persist: the mountain of Corduena and Masis. In the Hebrew Bible (Masoretic text) the mountains are called 'Arārāṭ, in the Greek translation (Septuagint) – Ararat, in Chaldean and Syrian (Peshitta) – Qardū, in Arabic – Qarda, and in Latin – “Mountains of Armenia”. Ararat is believed to be the Greek version of Hebrew 'RRṬ, i.e. Urartu (Piotrovsky 1944: 29; 1969: 13; Inglizian 1947: 5 ff., 63 ff; Musheghyan 2003: 4 ff.: Salvini and Salvini 2003; Marinković 2012). On the other hand, Ararat is almost identical to the Armenian term Ayrarat – the name of the central province of Armenia, with Mt. Masis at its center. However, Urartu and Ayrarat are two different geographical concepts. Ayrarat is the Armenian name of the region, which in Urartian sources is referred to as the land of Etiuni or Etiuhi (in the north of Urartu).
