In view of exploiting the full potential of a digital issue, the new section Useful links has been introduced in the current number of the Newsletter. It provides access to a variety of electronic resources (text, digitalized manuscripts, books, articles), which may be of some interest to many of you. With your help, I hope to be able to improve the number of hyperlinks in the following issues of the Newsletter. Another novelty is the section dedicated to PhD Students & Postdocs. I warmly encourage PhD students and Postdocs to send information about their research as well as reports of conferences, workshops, courses etc. they have taken part in. The main goal of the Newsletter is to circulate information on the current activities of the Association and of its members. In order to fulfil this objective, all members are kindly invited to collaborate with the Editor, sending any kind of information on Armenological interest (activities, personalia, awards, publications, reviews of books, reports on conferences etc.) they wish to be published in the Newsletter. This information may be published in a variety of languages (Armenian, English, French, Italian, German, Russian, Spanish). Last but not least, I wish to express my gratitude to everyone who contributed to this edition of the Newsletter.

    Translations from Armenian into Italian, 1991 to date a study by the Next Page Foundation in the framework of the Book Platform project conducted by Sona Haroutyunian1 2012 1 Sona Haroutyunian is literary translator, Professor of Armenian Language and Literature at the University of Venice, Italy. This text is licensed under Creative Commons Translations from Armenian into Italian, 1991 to date Sona Haroutyunian, PhD University of Venice Ca’ Foscari [email protected] PART I Historical Overview The first reliable vestiges of an Armenian presence in medieval Italy are found in the Byzantine Exarchate of Ravenna. Some of these exarchs, like the famous Narsetes (Nerses) the Eunuch (541-568) and Isaac (Sahak) (625-644) were of Armenian origin. In this same period, the names of other Armenian leaders in Italy, under whose command fought numerous Armenian soldiers, are also remembered. In addition to these officers and soldiers were many Armenian traders and monastics in various Italian cities like Ravenna, Venice, Florence, Naples, Ancona, Rome and others. A new chapter in Armenian-Italian relations began in the 12th Century with the concurrence of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia and the Crusades. According to the dates provided by Father Alishan, between 1240 and 1350, there were twenty-two Italian cities that had an Armenian church, and in some cities like Rome, Bologna and Venice, there was more than one church (Alishan 1893). However, the dispersion of Armenians in Italy reached its peak in the mid-14th Century. The existence of numerous guesthouses, signs of an animated traffic of travelers and merchants, and the many convents with their notable cultural and literary activities, attest to an evolved and active community.

  • Making of Soviet Kirovabad: Pogroms and the End of the “Friendship of Peoples” in Azerbaijan
    THE (UN)MAKING OF SOVIET KIROVABAD: POGROMS AND THE END OF THE “FRIENDSHIP OF PEOPLES” IN AZERBAIJAN By Joseph Harrison King Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Alexei Miller Second Reader: Professor Alfred J. Rieber CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2015 STATEMENT OF COPYRIGHT Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author.

Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author. CEU eTD Collection i ABSTRACT Armed conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan is often seen as a precipitating factor that hastened the Soviet Union’s collapse, but few studies have analyzed how the dissolution of Soviet authority unfolded on the ground. This thesis takes an important step in that direction by focusing on the unraveling of ethnic pluralism in a single city in Soviet Azerbaijan. The following chapters tell the story of Kirovabad (present-day Ganja)—the second-largest city in the Azerbaijani Soviet Socialist Republic—before, during, and after a series of pogroms in November 1988 initiated the mass exodus of some 40,000 Armenians. Though located outside the enclave of Nagorno Karabakh (a majority-Armenian autonomous region within Azerbaijan that became highly contested in 1988), Kirovabad experienced the fallout from this territorial dispute, and its depopulation sheds light on the dynamics of mob violence and the construction of difference that persisted after the riots dissipated.

  • Collector Coins of the Republic of Armenia 2020”
    CENTRAL BANK OF ARMENIA OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA YEREVAN2021 Martin Galstyan Governor Central Bank of Armenia Dear reader, We are pleased to present the annual journal “Collector Coins of the Republic of Armenia 2020”. In 2020, as had become customary, the Central Bank of Armenia issued a number of collector coins to celebrate anniversaries of famous individuals: the 100th birth anniversaries of world-renowned French-Armenians Henri Verneuil (a filmmaker) and Jansem (painter), the 125th birth anniversary of the famous Armenian actor Hrachya Nersisyan and the 150th birth anniversary of the talented painter Yeghishe Tadevosyan. Each of these great individuals hold a special place in the history of both Armenian and the world culture thanks to their success and accomplishments in the field of cinema, theater and painting. Another important anniversary we celebrated in 2020 was the 150 years of birth of Gevorg Chavush, a hero of the Armenian national liberation movement. On this occasion, the Central Bank of Armenia issued the “Gevorg Chavush-150” 2 CENTRAL BANK OF ARMENIA collector coin, adding to the series of collector coins dedicated to Armenian commanders from different periods in history. Celebrating the 75th anniversary of victory over the Nazi Germany and its allies in the Great Patriotic War was a remarkable event for the people of the former USSR. The Central Bank of Armenia was among central banks of the former Soviet countries to have issued the collector coin dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the victory, thus once again highlighting the role of the sons of Armenia, who heroically fought against the enemy and contributed greatly to the victory.

By James R. Russell, Harvard University. There is an Armenian saying that one must turn a library inside out to write a single book. One might adapt an English adage, too, to this just reflection on the process of scholarship: No work of research is an island. (And there is no library worth turning inside out without a librarian to help.) I was not aware of the work of the poet studied here till Michael Grossman, the cataloguer of Georgian and Armenian books, showed me a reprint of the volume dedicated to Sofia Mel’nikova with the poems of Kara Darviš in it.
