I att sure that my Gowrnaicat will be grateful for the message of sympathy which has been expressed by the Council, It would also be glad if th e High Commiseioner for Refugees could be requested to place at its disposal the services of his organisa­ tion in Oruecc , in order that any work undertaken on behalf of the Armenian refugees may be coordinated in the light of the experienc which he has gained in connection with the evacuation of ths Russian refugees from Constantinople. fSigaed ) ARGYR0?GUI0S Representative of the Greek Government accredited to the Council of the League of Nations. ~ b ~ uvTr.i03Al!DUI.l. The Greek Government fe e ls oblige & to draw the a t tent ion. of the Council of the League c£ Nations to the citn>- bi: of the Armenian refugees in Greece. After the disaster in a;3ia Minor a large number of ^rncenians took refuge in Greece; according to the et&tistico of the Ministry of Public belief there are about 65,000. These Armenians come from a) that part of Asia Minor which was occupied by the Greek Array ; b) the Black C.. d is tr ic ts ; c) Cilicia, which they were obliged to leave after the evacuation of this province by the French troops, Their present situation is as follows: a) Several foreign organisations assist a eex : ^ 1:1 number of them, particularly orphans an I unprotected women, b) A small number have been able to find work i'nd ad art themselves to local conditions., But this number is very limited, as the influée of Greek refugees is so great thah in is materially impossible for the country to absorb the Armenians also- c) It is impossible to arrange for the permanent settle­ ment of the Armenians in Greece, for the following reasons; l) For the reason just stated, i.e., that the native population cannot assimilate them in consequence of the great influx of refugees.. Moreover, it is only natural that the Armenians should resist assimilation and should jealously cling to their nationality after all their disesters, But the consequence is the creation of a new m inorities problem in Greek te r rito r y , end this we consider undesirable from every point of view, ~ 4 - 2 ) For want of sprees ; the re is no room, e ith e r in the country or in the towns* 3) For want of money The Greek Government has spent about 70,000,000 dr», or about £280,000. on the coil voyance , temporary shelter and relief of the Armenians, Such expenditure cannot continue » In any case, the Government w ill bo unable to assume, in addition to this temporary relief, the burden of providing for the settlement of the so ..rmenians. According to the statistics, ct Athens end the i>^'aous alone 906 new houses, built for Greek refugees, are sheltering 5,599 Armenians• *n all probability, we shall not be able to allow them to remain, 4) We would like to point out that the settlement of these refugees would be effected at the expense of the native population; the property loft behind by the Turks is barely sufficient for the settlement of 4Of; of the refugees, The remaining refugees are aettlcc by expropriating lands, and often buildings, belonging to the inhabitants of the country, and these expropriations are particularly irksome to the population, as the Government cannot pay cash compensation, It will be realised that these measures are very burdensome, and cannot easily be imposed on Greek peasants and townspeople 3 In the case of their follow countrymen, they do not object ; but i t would be hopeless to ask them - or compel them - to make such a sa c rific e for the benefit of foreigners, however deep may be th e ir sympathy fo r the unfort una t e Armenian people , The Greek Government therefore feels it to be absolutely ~ 5 - essential that sonic tiling should he done to assure the Arnsnians of a livelihood by enabling them to settle permanently c V/o would offer a suggestion,, A very large number of them - hew many is not certain - might be transferred to the Caucrrsuso This question might, we think, be considered without delay, Â few months ago the London Committee sounded the Greek Government and the refugee Settlement Commission on this point, and the Greek Government, being anxious to assist to the best of its ability in settling the refugees, stated that it would be willing to defray part of the cost of transport, provided that Greek vessels were employed so that the Greek Government would not be obliged to pay in cash. Copies of tho three letters which were excharget’ on this subject arc attached This is not the only possible suggestion, and the Greek Government would be glad to a s s is t to the best of i t s a b ility in any other solution which might be found, The Greek Government would lay emphasis on the following points only:- 1) The urgent need of arranging for the settlement of the Armenian refu g ees, 2) The impossibility of settling them in Greece, 5) The inability of the Greek government to continue to harbour and assist the Armenian refugees as hitherto, -ô- III.

I should be g ra te fu l i f you would inform me whether the Greek Government approves the suggested plan, and also whether it would be prepared to undertake part of the cost of transferring these refugees to the Caucasus. I fully realise what heavy sacrifices the Greek Government has already made in i t s e ffo rts on behalf of the refugees, but in venturing to apply to it for further help I would point out that your Government will in this way be relieved from any further responsibility for these refugees - a prospect which it cannot but regard with satisfaction. You were good enough to inform me through !.. ...rgyropoulos that you agreed in principle to this proposal, but I should be grateful if you would kindly authorise me to forward your roply to London. f Signed ) 1,1.

  • THE ARMENIANS in GREECE the Armenians and the Greeks As For
    THEOFANIS MALKIDIS THE ARMENIANS IN GREECE Key Words – Armenians, Greeks, Armenia, Greece, Asia Minor, century, communities, refugees, people, country, city, destruction The Armenians and the Greeks As for the Greek – Armenian relations, a lot has been reported mainly since the 4th century BC, according to records by Strabo, Plutarch, Herodotus and Xenophon. Greek was the formal language of the Armenian Royal Court, of the state and of the upper social class and after Alexander the Great’s conquests, it became more wide- spread. The Greek inscriptions from Armavir of Armenia inform us that at least until the end of the 3rd century BC the language of the state and of the secretariat was the Greek language. Schools opened and the Greek language was taught there. At that time, the Gods of the Greek Pantheon became known, Apollo – Tir, Athena – Nane, etc. Christianity was spread by Greek missionaries and until 373 AD the Greek Bishop of Caesarea ordained Armenian Patriarchs who used the Greek language and preached it. The invention of the Armenian Alphabet by Saint Mesrop Mashtots gave a boost to the Armenian nation. Prompting religious and national self-awareness Mesrop’s work was adjusted by the Greek Rufinus from Somosato and was influenced by Greek civilization. Mesrop’s students were sent to Constantinople (Istanbul), Athens, Alexandria, Antioch in order to learn the Greek language and gain insight of the Greek civilization. Greek works were translated, and from the 2nd half of the 5th century the “School of Ellinophili” (friends of the Greek), famous to the philosophical movement, started its operations and that contributed to the spread of ancient Greek and of other religious testimonies to the Armenian people.

Suny Professor Khachig Tölölyan, Wesleyan University ©Vahe Sahakyan 2015 To my parents ii Acknowledgments The completion of this project owes much to a large number of scholars, academics and intellectuals, friends and family members. My academic journey in diaspora studies began due to my training as a sociologist at Yerevan State University, Armenia. My sociological curiosity was quick to capture the significant differences in how Armenianness was experienced and expressed in the diaspora, when I first encountered third-fourth generation Armenian-Americans upon my arrival at the University of Michigan as a Junior Faculty Development Program visiting scholar in Fall 2004. This generous grant I was awarded by the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs provided me a possibility to spend a year at one of the leading American universities, where my interest in Armenian diasporic identities and institutions took shape. Frequent and often endless conversations with Kevork Bardakjian and Gerard Libaridian provided additional impetus to my curiosity. It was due to their continued encouragement and support that two years after returning to Armenia I finally decided to apply and was admitted to the Ph.D.
