Czech-Armenians Relations: a Brief Historical Survey
Petra Košťálová Ústav Východoevropských Studií, Filozofická Fakulta, Univerzita Karlova, Praha Czech-Armenians Relations: A Brief Historical Survey (Polska wersja artykułu doc. Petry Košťálovej pt. Stosunki czesko-ormiańskie: krótki przegląd historyczny, ukazała się w 7 roczniku czasopisma „Lehahayer”) Unlike other European countries with a long tradition of presence of Armenian merchants like France or Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Czech lands witnessed a minimal contact with the world of Armenian Diaspora from the historical point of view. Historically, the only part of lands of Bohemian crown (Bohemia, Moravia, part of Silesia), which came into contact with the notion of “Ottoman borderland”, was eastern part of Moravia (so-called Moravian Wallachia due to its certain ethno-historical similarity to mountainous Carpathian region in nowadays Romania, and Moravian Slovakia). Generally, Armenian- Czech relations did not intensify until the beginning of 20th century. After the First World War and the dissolution of Austria-Hungary, Czechoslovakia has emerged as a multi-ethnic state with numerous national minorities, whose traditional Hellenophilic approach was accompanied by certain interest of other Oriental disciplines, among others Armenology (Armenian Studies) as well. This interest is manifested for example by presence of Armenian manuscripts in Czech libraries and archives and also by emergence of literary images and stereotypes during the interwar period. There has been a real boom of this topic after the collapse of Soviet Union, when Czechoslovakia and later Czech Republic became one of the main transit countries of great migration waves from independent Republic of Armenia. Currently, Czech Republic is changing its status from transit country to country of final destination. -

Four brothers, Mgo, Avdo, Alo, and Fero, and their mother Gapeh requested the government to allow them to leave Islam and convert to the Armenian Apostolic faith.1 They added testimonies of their fellow Armenian neighbors, who confirmed that these Kurdish residents of the snowy highlands in the south of the Russian Empire were genuine in their desire to accept Christianity. Russian officials in Tiflis (now Tbilisi, Georgia), the capital of the Caucasus Viceroyalty, were perplexed but not surprised by such a request. In the late tsarist era, hundreds of individuals and families living in the South Caucasus asked to change their faith. -
