Polo 2035, 30125 Venezia Autorizzazione del Tribunale di Venezia n. 1309 del 2 dicembre 1998 3 Gabriella Uluhogian Un itinerario agli studi armeni: riflessioni di un’armena della diaspora Licenza autobiografica Ho pronunciato la prima parola in armeno quando avevo due anni: questa parola era ciucik . Certamente nessuno dei presenti la riconoscerà, né la troverebbe in un vocabolario: quando vedevo la mamma seria per qualche mio capriccio, invocavo il suo perdono, pronunciando storpiata la stessa parola che mi sentivo dire nei momenti di tenerezza: t‘ ŕ‘nik o t‘ ŕč‘niks «uccellino mio». Ho saputo per la prima volta del genocidio quando avevo sette anni: i miei compagni di scuola avevano tutti i nonni o almeno tre, due nonni: io avevo una sola nonna. Dove erano gli altri? La risposta era stata pacata, ma veritiera: il nonno materno era morto di malattia a Costantinopoli, e i nonni paterni e vari zii erano stati uccisi dai turchi (del nonno Kapriel porto il nome, della nonna il terzo nome Narkiss, mentre il mio secondo nome è Giovanna, da Hovhannes fratello maggiore di mio padre). Alla mia domanda stupita «perché sono stati uccisi»?, la risposta era stata «perché erano armeni». -
Giacomo Gorrini Was One of the Internationally Best-Known Italians in the First Half of the Past Century
Giacomo Gorrini was one of the internationally best-known Italians in the first half of the past century. Maybe he has not been sufficiently wellknown in Italy until now, but he is remembered and honoured everywhere in the world. A great servant of Italy, a constructor of International relations, a jurist and a writer, the founder and first president of the Italian foreign ministry’s archive, Gorrini was an upright and sensible man. His attitude towards life changed abruptly after he witnessed all kinds of atrocities for a whole month without being able to step in and stop them. He rescued some doomed Armenian victims, but not so many as he would have liked to. As the war broke out, Italy and Turkey were enemies. Then politician Gorrini turned into a great humanist and he devoted more than 20 years of his life to truth and justice. His declarations about the events he had witnessed were reported in all the world’s media of the time and provided irrefutable evidence of what was being carried out in the “darkness and the earsplitting silence of Evil” in Anatolia: the systematic destruction of a millenary people and its culture. In a few days’ time, on 24th April, the world will commemorate the 95th anniversary of the Armenian genocide and Giacomo Gorrini’s name will again be on the lips and in the prayers of Armenians all over the world: three million five hundred people in independent Armenia and 7 million in the diaspora, scattered around the world, indisputable evidence of what Gorrini witnessed and actually happened. -

Polo 2035, 30125 Venezia ISSN: 2280-4269 REDAZIONE c/o Aldo Ferrari [email protected] Autorizzazione del Tribunale di Venezia n. 1309 del 2 dicembre 1998 2 I PARTE Relazioni del Settimo Seminario Armenisti Italiani (Casa Armena di Milano, 22 novembre 2003) 3 Gioacchino Strano Il catholicos Yovhannes Draschanakerttsi e Bisanzio 1. Proprio in questa sede, nel seminario armenistico dello scorso anno, avevamo presentato i primi risultati di uno studio condotto sui rapporti fra Fozio e le autorità armene, per il quale ci eravamo serviti delle epistole che il dotto patriarca costantinopolitano aveva scambiato con gli ishchankh caucasici. In tali documenti traspariva, come crediamo di avere evidenziato, la preoccupazione del sommo prelato bizantino di non acuire i contrasti esistenti fra Chiesa greca e Chiesa armena, basati sia su differenze di rito sia sul presunto monofisismo attribuito alla Chiesa fondata da S. Gregorio 1. Il patriarca ha voluto infatti sottolineare i punti di contatto, e questo al fine di preservare l’influenza bizantina sulla Grande Armenia, il cui controllo era essenziale per garantire, nei confini nord-orientali dell’impero, la sicurezza e la stabilità politica e religiosa dello Stato 2. In questa sede ci occuperemo dell’‘immagine’ di Bisanzio nella Storia degli Armeni del catholicos Yovhannes Draschanakerttsi 3, esaminando in particolare due documenti ivi riportati: l’epistola di Nicola Mistico, patriarca di Costantinopoli 4, rivolta a Yovhannes, e la lettera inviata dal catholicos all’imperatore del tempo, ossia Costantino VII Porfirogenito.
