On The Threshold Of A New Era e are all aware, that global changes are taking place and the search for a new world order is causing serious political tremors in a status quo defined and W sustained by a declining ‘unipolar’ hegemony. The Armenian nation, whose past 15 historic years were marked by trying times, commemorates and celebrates losses and triumphs, that culminated in the reestablishment of an independent, sovereign state after 75 years of total dependency under a foreign autocratic regime. In a region beset by constant turmoil, our 15- year-old state still strives for the recognition of its demographic and territorial integrity. Just when our resurgent Homeland, the Armenian Republic, was mustering all its poten- tial for the rebuilding of the areas devastated by the 1988 earthquake, it found itself constricted in the relentless noose of the Azeri-Turkish blockade, aggravated by murderous border clashes, an acute shortage of grain and fuel, and most of all, the on-going conflict over the status of historically and culturally Armenian Artsakh. In those days of confrontation with our determined opponents, the contribution of each and every Armenian to our common cause had special significance. The ARS, as an experi- enced, global Armenian organization with numerous regional chapters and countless supporters, both in the Homeland and the Diaspora, felt deeply the urgency of its commitments and remained cognizant of the very real needs of the day, and the immediate future. In this context, the year 1991, as well as the fateful years preceding and succeeding it, were a frantic time of accelerated accomplishment for our Organization, in a pan-national context. The successful results that we witnessed wouldn’t have been possible without the total commitment of all our regional executives, all our entities and their membership and, most of all, our loyal friends and supporters throughout the Diaspora and the Homeland. With such backing, the ARS family was effectively able to assume extraordinary responsibilities. Naturally, there was an accumulative price tag attached to these countless projects — all necessary, all worthwhile — albeit, way over our means. As a result, today, the Armenian Relief Society looks to its devoted membership, its loyal supporters and concerned benefactors to replenish its depleted resources in order to continue its long, uninterrupted service to our nation whose growing needs cannot be ignored. We are more than confident, that over the next three years, with the same zeal and enthusiasm shown over the past decade and a half, all our regions and chapters — as well as our supporters world-wide — will stand by us and make our fundraising efforts for the ARS Centennial Fund an unqualified success, allowing us to continue our humanitarian work while attaining new standards of excellence in our expanding services. 2 ÐúØ-Ç ²ï»Ý³å»ïáõÑÇÇÝ ËûëùÁª 3ñ¹ г۳ëï³Ý-ê÷Çõéù ÊáñÑñ¹³ÅáÕáíÇÝ ºñ»õ³Ý« ê»åï© 18-20« 2006 ³Û³ëï³ÝÇ »õ ²ñó³ËÇ Ð³Ýñ³å»ïáõû³Ýó ٻͳñ·áÛ ä³ñáÝ Ü³Ë³·³ÑÝ»ñ« ²Ù»Ý³ÛÝ Ð Ð³Ûáó »õ Ø»ÍÇ î³ÝÝ ÎÇÉÇÏÇáÛ ì»Ñ³÷³é гÛñ³å»ïÝ»ñ« ³ñųݳå³ïÇõ Ñá·»õáñ ѳÛñ»ñ« Û³ñ- ÀÝÏÑ© Ú³ëÙÇÏ î¿ñï¿ñ»³Ý ·³ñÅ³Ý å»ï³Ï³Ý ³Ûñ»ñ áõ ïÇÏݳÛù« ëÇñ»ÉÇ Ñ³Ûñ»- ݳÏÇóÝ»ñ« ³éÝáõ³Í ÏÁ Ãáõ¿ÇÝ ÁÉÉ³É Ð³Û³ëï³Ý-ê÷Çõéù ³é³çÇ°Ý Ð³Û ú·Ýáõû³Ý ØÇáõÃÇõÝÁ« 18«000 ³Ý¹³ÙÝ»ñáí, ËáñÑñ¹³ÅáÕáíÇÝ ÇëÏ - ãÇñ³Ï³Ý³óáõó ³ÛÝ Ã³°÷Á áñ ï³ñ³Íáõ³Í 24 »ñÏÇñÝ»ñáõ Ù¿ç« Çñ 225 Ù³ëݳ×ÇõÕ»- Ïÿ³ÏÝϳɿÇÝù áÉá°ñëª Ç ï»ë ³ÛÝ Ë³Ý¹³í³éáõû³Ý ñáí« áñå¿ë ѳٳѳÛÏ³Ï³Ý »ñÇó³·áÛÝ Ï³½Ù³Ï»ñ- áõ å³ïñ³ëï³Ï³Ùáõû³Ýª áñ ÏÁ óáõó³»ñáõ¿ñ ³Ûë åáõÃÇõÝÝ»ñ¿Ý ÙÇÝ« ³Ý·³Ù ÙÁ »õë« Ù»Í áõñ³Ëáõû³Ù ѳٳѳÛÏ³Ï³Ý ÅáÕáíÝ»ñáõÝ ÁÝóóùÇÝ£ ÏÿáÕçáõÝ¿ ³Ûë ºññáñ¹ г۳ëï³Ý-ê÷Çõéù ÊáñÑñ¹³- ÀݹáõÝ»Éáí ѳݹ»ñÓ Ù»ñ ³½·áíÇ°Ý Ñ³ÙÁÝóó Û³- ÅáÕáíÁ áñ ÏÁ ½áõ·³¹ÇåÇ Ñ³Û å»ï³Ï³Ýáõû³Ý é³ç¹ÇÙáõû³Ý ׳ݳå³ñÑÇÝ íñ³Û ¹ÇÙ³·ñ³õ»ÉÇ í»ñ³Ýϳ˳óÙ³Ý »õ ³½³ï ѳÛñ»ÝÇ ÑáÕÇ íñ³Û г- ËáãÁݹáïÝ»ñáõ Çñ³Ï³ÝáõÃÇõÝÁ« ÏÁ ѳõ³ï³°Ýù ÿ Û³ëï³ÝÇ ÐúØ-Ç ÑÇÙݳ¹ñÙ³Ý 15ñ¹ î³ñ»¹³ñÓÝ»- ųٳݳ°ÏÝ ¿ ³ÛÉ»õë« Çñ³Ï³Ý³óÝ»Éáõ »õ ·áñÍÇ° ¹Ý»Éáõ ñáõÝ£ Ù»ñ ѳٳ¹ñ»³°É ϳñáճϳÝáõÃÇõÝÁª Ç ËݹÇñ Ù»ñ Ü»ñÏ³Û ÊáñÑñ¹³ÅáÕáíÇÝ Ñ³Ù³ñ« ¶áñͳ¹Çñ Ú³ÝÓ- ѳÛñ»ÝÇùÇ Ñ½ûñ³óÙ³Ý »õ ³å³Ñáíáõû³Ý áõ Ù»ñ Åá- ݳËáõÙÇÝ å³ïñ³ëï³Í ûñ³Ï³ñ·Á« ß³ï ѳݷ³Ù³- Õáíáõñ¹Ç ÝÇõÃ³Ï³Ý áõ Ñá·»Ï³Ý ³ñ·³õ³×ٳݣ Ýûñ¿Ý« Ý»ñ³é³Í ¿ »ñÏáõ ѳٳ½·³ÛÇÝ ÏßÇé áõ ï³ñá- Âá°ÛÉ ïáõ¿ù ÝáÛÝå¿°ë« ³°Ûë ³Ý·³Ù »õë ÏñÏÝ»Éáõ« ÿ ³Û¹ ÕáõÃÇõÝ áõÝ»óáÕ Ñ³ñó»ñ.- ³é³çÇÝÁª г۳ëï³Ý- Ï»Ýë³Ï³Ý ѳٳ¹ñáõÙÁ ¹³Ý¹³Õ»óÝáÕ ³½¹³ÏÝ»ñ¿Ý ê÷Çõéù« ѳÛñ»ÝÇù-³ñï»ñÏÇñ ÷áË-Û³ñ³»ñáõÃÇõÝ- ÙÇÝ ÏÁ Ýϳï»Ýù - ù³ÝÇ°óë Éáõñç ÝϳïáÕáõû³Ý ³ñ- Ý»ñáõ »õ ·áñͳÏóáõû³Ý Ý»ñÏ³Û íÇ׳ÏÝ áõ ³å³·³Û ųݳó³Í ë³Ï³ÛÝ« Ç°Ýã Ç°Ýã å³ï׳éÝ»ñáí« ¹»é ³Ý- ϳñ»ÉÇáõÃÇõÝÝ»ñÝ »Ý, »ñÏñáñ¹Áª г۳ëï³ÝÇ Ýáõ³×»ÉÇ Ùݳó³Í É»½áõ³Ï³Ý Ý»ñÏ³Û Çñ³íÇ׳ÏÁ, áñ ·ÇõÕ³Ï³Ý Ñ³Ù³ÛÝùÝ»ñáõ° ½³ñ·³óÙ³Ý Íñ³·ñÇ ÏÁ ëå³éÝ³Û Ñ³Ù³Ñ³ÛÏ³Ï³Ý Ùß³ÏáÛÃÇ ï³ëÝÁí»ó ùÝݳñÏáõÙÝ ¿£ ¹³ñ»ñáõ áëÏ»ÕÝÇÏ ³õ³°Ý¹Á »ÕáÕ Ù»ñ ·ñ³Ï³Ý É»½áõÇÝ£ ²é³çÇÝ Ñ³ñóÇÝ ³éÝãáõû³Ù« Ù»ñ ³éç»õ ÏÁ ²Ýáõñ³Ý³ÉÇ° íï³Ý· ÙÁª áñ ϳñ»ÉÇ ã¿ ³Ýï»ë»É« ÁÉɳ°Û å³ñ½áõÇ ³Ù÷á÷ª ³ÛÉ»õ ³ó³Û³Ûï ѳٳÛݳå³ïÏ»ñ ê÷ÇõéùÇ« ÁÉɳ°Û г۳ëï³ÝÇ Ù¿ç£ ÙÁ.- ²Ûëûñ« ³ß˳ñÑáí Ù¿Ï í»ñ³åñáÕ Ñ³Û ÅáÕáíáõñ¹Á« ê÷Çõéù³Ñ³Û Ù³ïÕ³ß ë»ñáõݹÁ г۳ëï³ÝÇ ëÇñáí ÁÉɳ°Û Çñ Ýûññ³ÝÇÝ Ù¿Ï ³ÝÏÇõÝÁ ³Ù¿Ý ûñ Û³é³ç¹Ç- áõ ßáõÝãáí ïá·áñ»Éáõ« ½³ÛÝ ³Ýù³Ïï»ÉÇûñ¿°Ý Çñ ѳÛñ»- ÙáõÃÇõÝ ³ñӳݳ·ñáÕ å»ï³Ï³Ýáõû³Ý ÝÇùÇÝ Ï³å»Éáõ áõÕÕáõû³Ù ï³ñáõáÕ ³ß˳ï³ÝùÁ - ë³ÑÙ³ÝÝ»ñ¿Ý Ý»ñë« ÁÉɳ°Û ³ß˳ñÑÇ ·ñ»Ã¿ áÉá°ñ áñ ÏÿÁݹ·ñÏ¿ ѳٳѳÛÏ³Ï³Ý Ù³ñ½³Ï³Ý Ùñó³ß³ñ- ù³Õ³ù³ÏÇñà »ñÏÇñÝ»ñáõÝ Ù¿ç ³ãù³éáõ ù»ñáõ« ³Ý³ÏáõÙÝ»ñáõ« ËáñÑñ¹³ÅáÕáíÝ»ñáõ ϳ½Ù³- Ý»ñϳÛáõÃÇõÝ »ÕáÕ ·³ÕáõÃÝ»ñ¿ Ý»ñë - Çñ Ï»ñåáõÙÁ - Ñëϳ°Û ׳ݳå³ñÑ Ïïñ³Í ¿« ³ÛëáõѳÝ- »Ï»Õ»ó³Ï³Ý« ù³Õ³ù³Ï³Ý« Ù³ñ¹³ëÇñ³Ï³Ý« ¹»ñÓ« ³Ûë áÉáñÁ ѳñÏ ¿ ³é³õ»°É »õë Ýå³ï³Ï³ëɳó Ù³ñ½³Ï³Ý« Ùß³ÏáõóÛÇÝ áõ ¹³ëïdzñ³Ïã³Ï³Ý áõ Ñ»ï»õáճϳ°Ý Ó»õáí Íñ³·ñ»É£ ²Ûëûñ« ³ñ¹¿Ý ÇëÏ« Áݹ³ñÓ³Ï Ï³éáÛóÝ»ñáí« ³½Ù³É»½áõ Ù³ÙáõÉáí áõ ÿ° ºñ»õ³ÝÇ Ù¿ç »õ ÿ Ù³ñ½»ñáõ ï³ñ³ÍùÇÝ« Ýϳï»ÉÇ Éñ³ïáõ³Ï³Ý ÙÇçáóÝ»ñáõ ó³Ýóáí« ÉÍáõ³Í ¿ ÃÇõ ÏÁ ϳ½Ù»Ý ѳÛñ»ÝÇùÇÝ Ï³Ù³õáñ³å¿ë ͳé³Û»Éáõ ѳ۳ϻñïÙ³°Ý ßÇÝÇã ³ß˳ï³ÝùÇÝ£ »Ï³Í ë÷Çõéù³Ñ³Û »ñÇï³ë³ñ¹Ý»ñÁ£ ä¿ïù ¿ ·áõñ·áõ- ÂáÛÉ ïáõ¿°ù Áë»Éáõ« ÿ ³Ûë áÉáñÇÝ ·áñÍݳϳ°Ý ѳ- Ù³¹ñÙ³Ý Íñ³·ñ³õáñáõÙÁ - áñáõÝ ëÏ½Ý³Ï³Ý ù³ÛÉ»ñÁ ¥Þ³ñáõݳÏáõÃÇõÝÁ ¿ç 5-Ç íñ³Û£¤ 3 ARS Chairperson’s Address rd at the 3 Armenia-Diaspora Conference held in Yerevan, Armenia, Sept.18-20, 2006 ost Honorable Presidents of the Republics the road to coordination on a national scale, we be- of Armenia and Artsakh, Holy Fathers of lieve, that it is time to orchestrate full harmony and put M the Ejmiatzin and Antelias Catholicosates, to use our collective potential in order to bring our Reverent Memebers of the Clergy, Honorable Minis- best to the strengthening, security and continuous de- ters and Public Servants, Ladies and Gentlemen: velopment of our Homeland, as well as our people’s The Armenian Relief Society, as one of the senior physical and spiritual well being.

  • 40 CHURCHES in 7 DAYS 7 DAY TOUR ITINERARY* DAY 1 Meeting
    40 CHURCHES IN 7 DAYS 7 DAY TOUR ITINERARY* DAY 1 Meeting at the airport, transfer to the hotel and check-in. The first steps of your Pilgrimage will start from Katoghike Holy Mother of God and Zoravor Surb Astvatsatsin Churches, both dating back to the XIII century, situated in the centre of Yerevan. To get acquainted with the capital of Armenia, we will have a City Tour in Yerevan - one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the only one, that has a "Birth Certificate" - a cuneiform inscription, left by King Argishti I on a basalt stone slab about the foundation of the city in 782 BC, displayed at the Erebuni Fortress-Museum. Yerevan is often pegged as the "Pink City" because of the colour of the stones used to build much of the city centre. Another name of Yerevan is an "Open-air Museum", the reason of which you will understand upon your visit. We will start the City tour from visiting Cascade Monument which is about 450 meters high and 50 meters wide. A panoramic view from the top of Cascade opens up a breathtaking city view with Opera House, Mount Ararat, Swan Lake, Republic Square and posh Northern Avenue, along which you will walk down during the tour. We will also visit Matenadaran, which means a "book-depository" in old Armenian. Indeed, Matenadaran is the pride of Armenian culture, the world's largest storage of ancient manuscripts. In fact, it is a scientific research institute of ancient manuscripts which stores more than 17 thousand ancient manuscripts and more than 100 thousand ancient archival documents.

  • Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio Between the US and Syria
    Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Beau Bothwell All rights reserved ABSTRACT Song, State, Sawa: Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell This dissertation is a study of popular music and state-controlled radio broadcasting in the Arabic-speaking world, focusing on Syria and the Syrian radioscape, and a set of American stations named Radio Sawa. I examine American and Syrian politically directed broadcasts as multi-faceted objects around which broadcasters and listeners often differ not only in goals, operating assumptions, and political beliefs, but also in how they fundamentally conceptualize the practice of listening to the radio. Beginning with the history of international broadcasting in the Middle East, I analyze the institutional theories under which music is employed as a tool of American and Syrian policy, the imagined youths to whom the musical messages are addressed, and the actual sonic content tasked with political persuasion. At the reception side of the broadcaster-listener interaction, this dissertation addresses the auditory practices, histories of radio, and theories of music through which listeners in the sonic environment of Damascus, Syria create locally relevant meaning out of music and radio. Drawing on theories of listening and communication developed in historical musicology and ethnomusicology, science and technology studies, and recent transnational ethnographic and media studies, as well as on theories of listening developed in the Arabic public discourse about popular music, my dissertation outlines the intersection of the hypothetical listeners defined by the US and Syrian governments in their efforts to use music for political ends, and the actual people who turn on the radio to hear the music.

Eiland and Dickran Kouymjian https://doi.org/10.1093/gao/9781884446054.article.T004089 Published online: 2003 updated bibliography, 26 May 2010 Country in the southern part of the Transcaucasian region; its capital is Erevan. Present-day Armenia is bounded by Georgia to the north, Iran to the south-east, Azerbaijan to the east and Turkey to the west. From 1920 to 1991 Armenia was a Soviet Socialist Republic within the USSR, but historically its land encompassed a much greater area including parts of all present-day bordering countries (see fig.). At its greatest extent it occupied the plateau covering most of what is now central and eastern Turkey (c. 300,000 sq. km) bounded on the north by the Pontic Range and on the south by the Taurus and Kurdistan mountains. During the 11th century another Armenian state was formed to the west of Historic Armenia on the Cilician plain in south-east Asia Minor, bounded by the Taurus Mountains on the west and the Amanus (Nur) Mountains on the east. Its strategic location between East and West made Historic or Greater Armenia an important country to control, and for centuries it was a battlefield in the struggle for power between surrounding empires. Periods of domination and division have alternated with centuries of independence, during which the country was divided into one or more kingdoms.
