  • The Orontids of Armenia by Cyril Toumanoff
    The Orontids of Armenia by Cyril Toumanoff This study appears as part III of Toumanoff's Studies in Christian Caucasian History (Georgetown, 1963), pp. 277-354. An earlier version appeared in the journal Le Muséon 72(1959), pp. 1-36 and 73(1960), pp. 73-106. The Orontids of Armenia Bibliography, pp. 501-523 Maps appear as an attachment to the present document. This material is presented solely for non-commercial educational/research purposes. I 1. 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.

  • A Form Within a Form a Conversation Between Dor Guez and the Composer Hagop K
    A Form within a Form A Conversation between Dor Guez and the Composer Hagop K. Dor Guez: The fate, or should I say the physical presence, of a work of art that isn't fixed to a place doesn't necessarily attests to its origin, or sources of influence. This is especially true in the case of musical works like your own. Hagop K.: Similarly to movables such as ceramics, carpets, silverware, manuscripts, etc., sometimes it's impossible to point with any certainty to the origin of a melody. Objects such as these are easily transferable and thus it's often hard to pinpoint the identity of their maker. This enabled nationalistic historians to bend their findings and dub unmistakablely Armenian artifacts "Ottoman." D.G.: The nation-state's artificial borders distort the historiography of art. For this reason, the phenomenon of inscription (in Armenian "hishatakaran") is not accidental when we are dealing with minority culture, which is often nomadic. H.K.: More than any other people, we insist on artistic validation and authorship. There is a built-in blindness in the writing on Christian artisanship originating from Armenia. For example, academic literature tends to ignore the Armenian influence on the ceramics made throughout the Ottoman Empire. The prevalent reasons given to this oversight are that many of the objects manufactured by Armenian potters were commissioned by Muslim clients, or that Armenian carpets were woven and commissioned by Muslim subjects of the Empire. Having been subsumed by the metanarrative under the heading "Ottoman" or "Turkish" works, ornaments manufactured in Armenian workshops (decorated ceramic tiles, jars and eggs) were deemed unworthy of a chapter of their own.

  • June 18, 2009 Summary of JIIA Forum Presentation by Elmar Mammadyarov, Minister of Foreign Affairs (Republic of Azerbaijan) “A
    June 18, 2009 Summary of JIIA Forum Presentation by Elmar Mammadyarov, Minister of Foreign Affairs (Republic of Azerbaijan) “Azerbaijan at the Crossroad of East and West and Its Role in Regional Security and Prosperity” I am very grateful for having had the opportunity during my current visit to Japan to meet with the Crown Prince, Prime Minister Aso, Foreign Minister Nakasone, and other distinguished figures. In our discussions yesterday, the foreign minister and I exchanged views on the worldwide political situation and on UN reform. I informed him that Azerbaijan is in agreement with Japan on the need for UN reform and declared our support for making Japan a permanent member of the UN Security Council. On the Nagorno-Karabakh issue between Azerbaijan and Armenia, I received support for Azerbaijan’s stance on the territorial/border issue emphasizing the peace proposals put forth when the ceasefire was negotiated. Today I would like to talk about the priorities for Azerbaijan’s foreign policy: regional security and prosperity. Azerbaijan is situated at the junction of Central Asia and Europe, bordered by Russia to the north and Iran to the south, and it has access to the Caspian Sea and a wealth of energy resources. As you no doubt know, our country serves as a corridor in the southern Caucasus region for the transport of energy from Central Asia to Georgia and Turkey. Determining how to supply the natural resources our country possesses and to which international markets to supply them have become foreign policy issues. In the religious makeup of our country Muslims account for the majority, but there is toleration for other religions and Azerbaijan serves as a bridge between cultures.

  • Out of Water Civilizations Emerge Focus on Pre-Islamic Persian Empires
    INFLUENCE OF WATER MANAGEMENT ON EMPIRES 1 Out of Water Civilizations Emerge Focus on Pre-Islamic Persian Empires Festival of the Passing of the Ice Dragon 8 April 2017 Pentathlon Entry - Literary Arts Research Paper INFLUENCE OF WATER MANAGEMENT ON EMPIRES 2 Abstract Water or the lack of it has the power to create or destroy empires. From prehistory to the current time period this has been shown to be true. The civilizations who have been able to harness water, transport it and conserve it are the societies that have risen to power. The Persian Empires, from the earliest to the last, were masters of water husbandry. They developed an underground transport system called qanats that enabled them to become one of the greatest empires the world has ever seen. Not only has their knowledge of water transport enabled the irrigation of fields, it provided water for domestic purposes in their homes, to air- condition their homes and allowed the use of sewage systems which helped to keep disease at bay. INFLUENCE OF WATER MANAGEMENT ON EMPIRES 3 Out of Water Civilizations Emerge – Focus on Pre-Islamic Persian Empires Water has controlled the rise and fall of great empires. Rome became a great power when it was able to harvest the water from the Mediterranean Sea, China’s Golden Age developed after the completion of the 1100 mile long Grand Canal for transport of goods and irrigation. Domination of the oceans by the Vikings gave rise to their success. Civilizations are driving by the way in which they respond to the challenges of their environment.

  • A New Way for the Caspian Region: Cooperation and Integration
    A NEW WAY FOR THE CASPIAN REGION: COOPERATION AND INTEGRATION Azerbaijan is a pivotal state in what is emerging as the new Caspian political order. The region in one way or another connects Asia, the Middle East, Russia and Europe. As such it is the home to many civilizations; it is an energy and trade hub, and a gateway to the Far East countries, Europe, Russia and the Middle East. Caspian energy is of strategic significance for China and Europe. A trans-Caspian component to our energy development is a win-win for all. The Europe dimension is a part of Azerbaijan’s orientation. However, we are not knocking on the EU door asking for membership. This is a long-term perspective which should be considered and addressed in due time. Azerbaijan is committed to pursuing a multi-variable approach to regional development. In the end, success will depend on our ability to cooperate. Elmar Mammadyarov* * Elmar Mammadyarov is foreign minister of Azerbaijan. Introduction Energy trends in the global market have brought international attention back into the Caspian region. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Caspian region was marred by conflicts, corruption and state failure. Since then much has changed. The conflicts are protracted, corruption is being dealt with and states are increasing their internal institutional and human know-how. The energy sector is booming with the help of international partners and through domestic reforms on both the east and west coasts of the Caspian Sea. The Caspian region needs a multidimensional international outlook. Azerbaijan is a pivotal state in what is emerging as the new Caspian political order.

  • Armenian Christians in Jerusalem: 1700 Years of Peaceful Presence*
    Laury Haytayan1 Прегледни рад Arab Region Parliamentarians Against Corruption UDK:27(479.25)(569.44) ARMENIAN CHRISTIANS IN JERUSALEM: 1700 YEARS OF PEACEFUL PRESENCE* Abstract This paper examines the presence of the Armenians in Jerusalem for the past 1700 years. This historical account sheds the light on the importance of Jerusa- lem for the Armenians, especially for the Armenian Church that was granted the authority to safeguard the Holy Places in the Holy Land with the Greek and Latin Churches. During the centuries, the Armenians survived all the conquests and were able to find all sorts of compromises with all the different powers that conquered Jerusalem. This study shows that the permanent presence is due to the wise religious authorities and the entire Armenian community who had no backing from super powers but they had their religious beliefs and their per- sistence in safeguarding the Holy Places of Christianity. The author takes the reader back in History by stopping at important events that shaped the history of the Armenians in the Holy Land. Key words: Jerusalem, Armenians, Crusaders, Holy Land, St James Monas- tery, Old City, Armenian Quarter. Introduction This paper comes at a time when Christians in Iraq and Egypt are being mas- sacred in their churches, Christians in Nazareth are being forbidden to decorate a Christmas tree in public space, and Christians in Lebanon are seeking to pre- serve their political rights to safeguard their presence in their Homeland. At a time, when the Palestinian Authority is alerting the International Community of the danger of the continuous and ferocious settlement construction in East Jerusalem by the State of Israel, and at a time when Christians of the East are being silent on the fate of Jerusalem by leaving it in the hands of the Palestinian and Israeli negotiators, hoping that the Unites States will be the caretaker of the Christians of Jerusalem.
