  • Shirak Guidebook
    Wuthering Heights of Shirak -the Land of Steppe and Sky YYerevanerevan 22013013 1 Facts About Shirak FOREWORD Mix up the vast open spaces of the Shirak steppe, the wuthering wind that sweeps through its heights, the snowcapped tops of Mt. Aragats and the dramatic gorges and sparkling lakes of Akhurian River. Sprinkle in the white sheep fl ocks and the cry of an eagle. Add churches, mysterious Urartian ruins, abundant wildlife and unique architecture. Th en top it all off with a turbulent history, Gyumri’s joi de vivre and Gurdjieff ’s mystical teaching, revealing a truly magnifi cent region fi lled with experi- ences to last you a lifetime. However, don’t be deceived that merely seeing all these highlights will give you a complete picture of what Shirak really is. Dig deeper and you’ll be surprised to fi nd that your fondest memories will most likely lie with the locals themselves. You’ll eas- ily be touched by these proud, witt y, and legendarily hospitable people, even if you cannot speak their language. Only when you meet its remarkable people will you understand this land and its powerful energy which emanates from their sculptures, paintings, music and poetry. Visiting the province takes creativity and imagination, as the tourist industry is at best ‘nascent’. A great deal of the current tourist fl ow consists of Diasporan Armenians seeking the opportunity to make personal contributions to their historic homeland, along with a few scatt ered independent travelers. Although there are some rural “rest- places” and picnic areas, they cater mainly to locals who want to unwind with hearty feasts and family chats, thus rarely providing any activities.

Editors’ Introduction Volume 7, issue 1 of Genocide Studies and Prevention continues the discussion of the state of the field of genocide studies that was initiated in volume 6, issue 3. Due to our (the editors’) keen desire to include as many different voices and perspectives as possi- ble, we reached out to old hands in the field, younger but well established scholars, and several scholars who recently completed their graduate studies but have already made an impact on the field. The sequence of the articles over the two issues began with comprehensive treat- ments and then moved into articles with more specific focuses, grouped thematically where applicable. Through the entire sequence across these two issues of GSP, we hope that readers will gain a solid sense of the history of the field and insight into some of the perdurable issues that have been at the heart of the field since its inception and that they have opportunities to reflect on the host of issues and concerns raised by authors coming from different disciplines (e.g., history, political science, sociology, psychology, philosophy) with vastly different perspectives.

  • Understanding Genocide: Insights Gained Through Armenian Survivor Interviews
    Understanding Genocide: Insights Gained through Armenian Survivor Interviews and Franz Werfel’s “The Forty Days of Musa Dagh” Kate Dwyer University of Minnesota Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program Senior Faculty Mentor: Joachim Savelsberg Introduction In 1933 Franz Werfel published what remains today the most famous literary depiction of the Armenian genocide – The Forty Days of Musa Dagh. The inspiration for the novel came to Werfel while he was touring Damascus fourteen years after genocide had wiped out over half the Armenian population in the region. It was the very sight of famished Armenian children working in a carpet factory that gave Werfel “the final impulse to snatch from the Hades of all that was, this incomprehensible destiny of the Armenian nation” (Werfel 1933). Thus, the very intent of the novel was not to tell a story, but to reveal the inconceivable truth of Armenian suffering. Werfel’s novel was quickly banned from Nazi Germany in 1934 at the request of the Turkish government. Yet, authoritarian leaders were not able to contain the influence of Werfel’s work. Along with other literary works, copies of The Forty Days of Musa Dagh circulated in Nazi ghettos, enhancing the spirit of fighters in the Warsaw ghetto rebellion (Toker 2019). It was read by the notation that like the Armenians on Musa Dagh, these fighters too refused to be massacred like ‘sheep’ (Gregorian 2019). There is no doubt as to why Werfel’s novel was banned; within it lie authentic truths about the Armenian genocide – truths which threatened to delegitimize the state which rose from Armenian ashes in 1923.

Kahvé Pусский Español Ararat Heritage Հայերեն London Português 2017 Genocide: Beyond the Night, by Jean Jansem, detail photography by Ararat Heritage PREFACE There are certain polyvalent developments of the past that project prominently into the contemporary world with pertinent connotations for the future, decisively subsuming the characteristics of permanence. Their significance dilates not only because well organised misfeasance bars them from justice, but also because of sociological and psychological aspects involving far-reaching consequences. In this respect, the extensive destruction brought about by the Armenian Genocide and the substantive occupation of Armenia’s landmass by its astonishingly hostile enemies will remain a multifarious international subject impregnated with significant longevity. Undoubtedly, the intensity of the issue in motion will gather momentum until a categorically justifiable settlement is attained. A broad reconstruction programme appears to be the most reasonable way forward. PREAMBLE 1st. PRELUDE TO GENOCIDE Encompasses the periods referred to as the Armenian Massacres; mainly covering the years 1894 - 96 and Adana 1909. Some titles in the bibliography record the earlier international treaties that failed to protect the Armenians. Only a small number of works have been included, predominantly relevant to this period.
