The genesis of the Armenian nation has been examined in an earlier Study.1 Its nucleus, succeeding to the role of the Yannic nucleus ot Urartu, was the 'proto-Armenian,T Hayasa-Phrygian, people-state,2 which at first oc- cupied only a small section of the former Urartian, or subsequent Armenian, territory. And it was, precisely, of the expansion of this people-state over that territory, and of its blending with the remaining Urartians and other proto- Caucasians that the Armenian nation was born. That expansion proceeded from the earliest proto-Armenian settlement in the basin of the Arsanias (East- ern Euphrates) up the Euphrates, to the valley of the upper Tigris, and espe- cially to that of the Araxes, which is the central Armenian plain.3 This expand- ing proto-Armenian nucleus formed a separate satrapy in the Iranian empire, while the rest of the inhabitants of the Armenian Plateau, both the remaining Urartians and other proto-Caucasians, were included in several other satrapies.* Between Herodotus's day and the year 401, when the Ten Thousand passed through it, the land of the proto-Armenians had become so enlarged as to form, in addition to the Satrapy of Armenia, also the trans-Euphratensian vice-Sa- trapy of West Armenia.5 This division subsisted in the Hellenistic phase, as that between Greater Armenia and Lesser Armenia. -
Akhuryan Basin Management Area KEY WATER ISSUES
ARMENIA Akhuryan Basin Management Area KEY WATER ISSUES EEnvi ronmenPt al Pr otectioIn of IntRe rnati onal RivBe r Basin s The project is funded This project is implemented by a consortium by the European Union led by Hulla & Co. Human Dynamics KG The Environmental Protection of International River Basins (EPIRB) project aims to improve the quality of water in transboundary river basins in the wider Black Sea region and Belarus, including Armenia. One of the specific objectives is to improve technical capacities by developing river basin management plans (RBMPs) in selected pilot river basins, according to the requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). One of the selected pilot basins is the Akhuryan basin management area, which includes the Akhuryan River basin, located in the western part of the Republic of Armenia, and the Metsamor River basin, which is adjacent to the Akhuryan River basin. 2 Good water status The Water Framework Directive is achieved when pollution is and river basin management plans controlled and there is One of the requirements of the WFD is the achievement and sufficient flow for ecosystems preservation of good water status by managing waters in natural to function and survive. units — that is, in river basins. River basin planning follows a structured approach: finding out facts, deciding on necessary actions, making a management plan, and putting the plan into practice. An important first step is to identify significant water management issues so that appropriate solutions and measures can be developed. The impacts of human activities Human activities can lead to serious problems in terms of both water quality and quantity. -

Armenian NPP experience in assuring of vital equipment’s integrity (by the means of Aging Management ) G.A. Sevikyan Technical Inspection & Metal Diagnostics Department, Armenian Nuclear Power Plant CJSC, Metsamor, Armavir, Armenia Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to shortly represent the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant with its peculiar history. Thanks to responsible and attentive treatment of duties of all plant's personnel the Unit is operating during more than fifteen years without failures and incidents. In the given review the most vivid examples of timely revealing of defects which could lead to serious negative consequences are presented. 1. Introduction. Nuclear Energy in Armenia 1.1. The structure of Armenian electric energy system Currently the Armenian electric energy system is well balanced. The production capacity mix consists of about 42% nuclear, 40 % gas and 18 % hydropower capacities. Before 2012, almost exclusively, new gas-fired power plants are expected to be constructed, and some old gas-fired ones are predicted to be closed. A significant change in the structure of energy-production would occur after 2016, when the ANPP sole unit will be shut down in view of end of its design lifetime. 1.2. The Armenia without nuclear energy After shutdown of ANPP the predicted lack of electricity can be covered only by gas-fired power plants or by import of electric energy. In the light of the present tendencies and market conditions it's clear that energy produced at gas-fired power plants or imported would become inaccessible both for industry and for public because the energy price would have grown dramatically compared to its present values. -

First Capitals of Armenia and Georgia: Armawir and Armazi (Problems of Early Ethnic Associations)
First Capitals of Armenia and Georgia: Armawir and Armazi (Problems of Early Ethnic Associations) Armen Petrosyan Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, Yerevan The foundation legends of the first capitals of Armenia and Georgia – Armawir and Armazi – have several common features. A specific cult of the moon god is attested in both cities in the triadic temples along with the supreme thunder god and the sun god. The names of Armawir and Armazi may be associated with the Anatolian Arma- ‘moon (god).’ The Armenian ethnonym (exonym) Armen may also be derived from the same stem. The sacred character of cultic localities is extremely enduring. The cults were changed, but the localities kept their sacred character for millennia. At the transition to a new religious system the new cults were often simply imposed on the old ones (e.g., the old temple was renamed after a new deity, or the new temple was built on the site or near the ruins of the old one). The new deities inherited the characteristics of the old ones, or, one may say, the old cults were simply renamed, which could have been accompanied by some changes of the cult practices. Evidently, in the new system more or less comparable images were chosen to replace the old ones: similarity of functions, rituals, names, concurrence of days of cult, etc (Petrosyan 2006: 4 f.; Petrosyan 2007a: 175).1 On the other hand, in the course of religious changes, old gods often descend to the lower level of epic heroes. Thus, the heroes of the Armenian ethnogonic legends and the epic “Daredevils of Sasun” are derived from ancient local gods: e.g., Sanasar, who obtains the 1For numerous examples of preservation of pre-Urartian and Urartian holy places in medieval Armenia, see, e.g., Hmayakyan and Sanamyan 2001). -

The Site of Tigranokerta: Status Quaestionis
Acta Ant. Hung. 56, 2016, 293–314 DOI: 10.1556/068.2016.56.3.2 MICHAŁ MARCIAK THE SITE OF TIGRANOKERTA: STATUS QUAESTIONIS Summary: This paper gives an overview of all major identifications of the site of Tigranokerta, the fa- mous foundation of the Armenian king, Tigranes II (the Great, ca. 95‒55 BCE). Firstly, the paper pre- sents ancient literary evidence; secondly, it discusses all major locations of Tigranokerta suggested to date (Siirt, Silvan, Arzan, Diyarbakιr, Tell Abad, and Kιzιltepe); and finally it reaches its own conclu- sions. It appears that in the current state of research, it is Arzan which is the most likely candidate for the site of Tigranes II’s new capital. The paper also engages with the latest archaeological excavations in the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, and takes issue with the identification of the site near Shahbulagh as the foundation of Tigranes the Great. Key words: Tigranokerta, Armenia, Parthia, Tigranes the Great, Mesopotamia, Arzan, Strabo, Tacitus INTRODUCTION As late as 1903, the eminent British historian Bernard W. Henderson called the iden- tification of Tigranokerta “the time-worn controversy”.1 However, since Henderson used those words, much has been written about the location of Tigranokerta, the famous foundation of perhaps the greatest Armenian king ever, Tigranes II (ca. 95–55 BCE), also known as Tigranes the Great.2 Many scholars have concluded that without proper This paper is part of my research project financed by the National Science Centre in Poland (UMO-2011/03/N/HS3/01159).
