The host discussed Cilician Armenian gold coins. During the meeting a resolution was passed to write a letter to Armenia to find out how many copies of our publications they would like to have for new libraries to be built in the earthquake-devastated areas and also in Artsakh ( Nagorno Karabagh). A letter was composed on April 29, 1 989, addressed to Mr. Hrayr S. Babayan, Director of American Sector of the Committee for Cultural Relations with Armenians Abroad, Yerevan. In late June, a response dated June 5, 1989, and si^ed by Mr. R. Kozmcyan, assistant to the president of the Committee for Cultural Relations with Armenians Abroad, was received: . .riLn.ULipi|i|nr\ qpuuquj^nLRjuj'L Rnn.'LniJ' 2bp <;iujbgnn.nLRjujl .** (l^bpUu 50-70uitiuj'b oph'bujq jfipuj^uu'bijnLp <;ujmnphg). The translation reads, "We leave to your contemplation the quantity of literature to be shipped ( perhaps 50-70 copies of each volume would be sufficient).” The September 9, 1 989 meeting of the Society was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Y. T. Nercessian. The host discussed and presented the "Municipal Bank Notes of Armenia." Since the publication of the author's corpus on Armenian bank notes, most of the local membership had never seen the city notes of Armenia. It was a different type of excitement to examine these monuments in a display case. During the business discussion, the letter of Mr. R. Kozmoyan was read. The secretary stated that we have the books and we should help Armenia by sending the books they wanted. After a lengthy discussion the executive body approved the transfer and shipment of 560 books from the Society’s stock to Armenia (70 copies of each Sp^ial Publicdtion 1 to 6 and the Sibil ian and Bedoukian Festschrifts in the Armenian Numismatic Journah. However, since the Society did not have money in the treasury, and had incurred financial liabilities due to the last two publications, it was decided to contxt Babayan or Kozmoyan to find out if it would be possible to arrange free transportation for the books to Armenia. Note that the books have a retail market value of $ 1 3,702,50 and the registered book post surface rates to Yerevan would cost around $2 ,000.00. Y. T.

  • Houri Berberian. in Roving Revolutionaries: Armenians and the Connected Revolutions in the Russian, Iranian and Ottoman Worlds
    Houri Berberian. In Roving Revolutionaries: Armenians and the Connected Revolutions in the Russian, Iranian and Ottoman Worlds. Oakland, CA: University of California Press, 2019. Pp. 320. Paper. $34.95. Middle East historian and Chair of Armenian Studies at the University of California, Irvine, Professor Berberian uses a transnational approach to examine the Russian Revolution (1905), the Iranian Revolution (1908) and the Ottoman (Young Turk) Revolution (1905-11), and focuses on the role of Armenian revolutionaries in connecting these revolutionary upheavals and histories. Berberian shows how Armenians simultaneously participated in all three revolutions due to its geographical location perched between Russia, Iran and Ottoman Anatolia. Specifically, she shows how Armenian intellectuals and revolutionaries utilized modern technology to facilitate the spread of information, revolutionary literature, ideologies, and weapons within the empires, while revolutionizing their own ethnic community. Moreover, these revolutionaries were linked to a global network of Armenian diaspora, using steam ships, telegraphs and an increased access to printing technology, which profoundly contributed to the movements and migration of revolutionaries in Iran, Russia and the Ottoman Empire. Berberian first isolates the revolutions as separate entities then connects them through Armenian revolutionaries and intellectuals. She shows how these uprisings were connected through the systemic circulation of ideologies, Armenian activities, objects, arms, and print. In the early twentieth century, Armenians were a small minority population within all three empires, yet their political impact was profound. Global philosophies and ideologies of the nineteenth century, such as liberalism and socialism, were reaching the Middle East and the Southern Caucasus. Berberian argues Armenians were at the forefront of these new ideologies, which allowed a modern revolutionary movement of their own.

In spite of the fact that more pragmatic revolutionaries attempted to convince the Armenian community that the Balkan model would not work for the Armenians because of demographic and geopolitical differences, the Armenian struggle for inde- pendence from the Ottoman Empire was waged in a way that was similar to the Balkan model. There is strong reason to believe that if the Armenians had had stron- ger British and Russian backing and constituted a slightly higher percentage of the population in the region of Eastern Anatolia that an independent Armenia would have emerged in Eastern Anatolia and Cilicia much in the same manner that an independent Bulgaria, Serbia, and Montenegro emerged in the Balkans.

  • The Foundation of the Armenian
    THE FOUNDATION OF THE ARMENIAN REVOLUTIONARY FEDERATION AND ITS ACTIVITIES IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE IN VIEW OF RUSSIAN ARCHIVAL SOURCES (1890-1915)* (RUS ARŞİV BELGELERİ IŞIĞINDA ERMENİ DEVRİMCİ FEDERASYONUNUN KURULUŞU VE OSMANLI İMPARATORLUĞU’NDAKİ FAALİYETLERİ (1890-1915)) Olga BYKOVA HERGÜL PhD Candidate, Ural State University (Ural Federal University - UrFU) Abstract: Established in 1890, the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF - Dasnaktsutyun) is a prominent Armenian nationalist organization that sought to attain an independent Armenia. Like other Armenian nationalist organizations, the ARF engaged in propaganda and agitation to draw the world’s attention towards the Armenian Question. However, ARF was set apart from other Armenian nationalist organizations by its radical mentality and scale of its aggressive acts. In this context, the organization resorted to actions that can be described as terrorism. When examined, Russian archival documents belonging to the years 1890-1915 demonstrate that ARF was heavily involved in forming armed groups for inciting rebellions in the Ottoman Empire. When the First World War began, the ARF decided to side with the Russian Empire to the detriment of the Ottoman Empire. Eventually, the organization’s activities and the agitation of the Ottoman Armenians came to represent a serious security threat to the Ottoman Empire. This would eventually lead the Ottoman government to take the radical decision to relocate Ottoman Armenians away from sensitive areas to other parts of the Empire. This article demonstrates that, with the help of Russian archival sources, the ARF’s actions had dire consequences for both Ottoman Armenians and Muslims. According to the article, it can be argued that the unbalanced and adventuristic methods of ARF damaged the Armenians more than anyone else did.

  • Ethnic Cleansing and Massacres of the Ottoman
    The Nation-Building Process in the Balkans: Ethnic Cleansing and Massacres of the Ottoman Muslim and Turkish Population (1912-1913) Le processus de construction de la nation dans les Balkans: nettoyage ethnique et massacre des musulmans ottomans et turcs (1912-1913) Conference organized by the Collège Belgique (Académie Royale de Belgique) and the University of Utah Mars-March 24-25, 2016 Bruxelles-Brussels (Belgique-Belgium) A. Argumentaire en français : Le processus de construction de la nation dans les Balkans : nettoyage ethnique et massacre des musulmans ottomans et turcs (1912-1913) Dans le contexte de la désintégration de l’Empire Ottoman et de l’émergence du nouveau système étatique balkanique, la guerre a joué un rôle dans les processus de construction des nations et des états. Le système étatique balkanique a été créé pour résoudre la question d’Orient, et les états concernés ont fini par devenir des états-nations homogènes suite à une série de guerres qui atteignirent leur apogée lors de ce que l’on a appelé les guerres balkaniques (1912-1913). Ce fut la première guerre totale dans les Balkans, si l’on considère que les frontières entre le front de bataille et le front intérieur ont été supprimées au moyen d’une attaque systématique de certains groupes identitaires. On peut d’ailleurs considérer que, pour l’état ottoman, la première guerre mondiale a commencé en 1912 car le ton était donné et le schéma établi pour la première guerre mondiale. Qui plus est, les pères fondateurs de l’actuelle république de Turquie sont tous originaires des Balkans.

Nationalisms d'une minorite placee aux confins d'empires multinationaux et dispersee en colonies lointai­ nes, le nationalisms armenien dont les expressions ont varie selon les classes sociales (clercs, nobles, marchands, intellectuals, paysans) et selon leurs caracteristiques cul­ turelles (2)' a ete d'abord nostalgia des origines et lucidi­ te d'exister. Sous l'influence des Revolutions frangaises et europeennes, et des insurrections balkaniques, la pensee politique armenienne -celle des intellectuals formes au con­ tact de l'Occident- se modernise. L'idee de Nation, l'idee de Peuple, avec ses exigences centripetes, emerge lentement de l 1 idee de communaute religieuse que perpetuent, cependant jusqu'au 20e siecle, le systeme des millets dans l'Empire Ottoman et le Pologenie dans l'Empire russe (3). Trouvant son propre elan chez les Armenians de Tur­ quie ou de Madras (4), le nationalisms n'est pas une doc­ trine propre aux Armenians caucasiens. Mais ceux-ci lui conferent des traits originaux.

  • Droshak Newspaper a Newspaper That Openly Supported Terrorism
    DROSHAK NEWSPAPER: A NEWSPAPER THAT OPENLY SUPPORTED TERRORISM (DROŞAK GAZETESİ: AÇIK AÇIK TERÖRİZMİ SAVUNAN BİR ORGAN) Prof. Dr. Jean-Louis MATTEI Historian Abstract: In this article, the author studies one of the issues of the Droshak newspaper published in January 1897. Droshak (Flag) was the official news organ of the ARF (Armenian Revolutionary Federation) or Dashnaktsutyun. This issue, in particular, mentions the Van Revolt of 1896. The issue also talks about the death of the revolutionary Bedo, who fell during the clashes. Bedo is portrayed as the “Protective Angel of the Armenians” and in the newspaper, Armenians are often called upon to exact their revenge. In fact the, Van Problem was to continue in the following years. For this reason, the Van Committee Members Aram Manukyan and Ishan were to give weapons to the Armenians and kill all of their opponents. Through such violent means, they prepared the 1915 Van Revolt. So, the Armenian thesis pretending that the revolt happened by itself is rebutted. The part of the newspaper that tells how the Priest Komitas was killed by a terrorist from Dashnaktsutiun openly shows that the Armenian terrorism was fırst of all directed against the other Armenians who refused to co-operate with the Committees. After comparing different documents, the author speaks of the efforts made by Avetis Aharonian and Kristapor Mikaelian for promoting the Droshak on the international arena. In the future, Droshak was to give birth to the French Pro Armenia that concealed its terrorist mindset, and became a tool in the hands of the Dashnaktsutyun Members. Keywords: Droshak newspaper, 1896 Van Revolt, 1915 Van Revolt, Pro Armenia newspaper.
