Examines songs and music produced in multiple languages and periods in and about the Genocide camps along the Euphrates, across folk, rock, metal, rap, jazz, classical and new-age idioms, and traces their transmission into film, graphic series, documentary and theater. The author teaches at Hamazkayin's Armenian Studies Institute in Aleppo.
Using a micro-historical method and Brazilian archival sources — immigration dossiers, naturalization records, periodicals — Tordeur reconstructs the role of Mihran Latif, an Armenian immigrant among Rio de Janeiro's elite, in aiding Armenian Genocide survivors and promoting the Armenian cause in Brazil. The study foregrounds the smaller, often-overlooked Rio community against the larger São Paulo one, examining how local elites mobilized resources for post-genocide solidarity and how that shaped diasporic identity and collective memory.
Since 1980 a series of conferences has brought together representatives of Armenia and the diaspora to discuss cooperation, set priorities, and clarify future tasks. The necessity of such assemblies was debated both in the Soviet period and after the restoration of independence, and the search for the most effective format is still unresolved. Depending on the political approach of the government of the day and the problems it needed to solve, these gatherings took different shapes: representative meetings, conferences, summits. The article examines the agendas and convening formats of the Armenia–Diaspora conferences against the historical and political reality of each moment.
Syunik, Armenia's southern province, sits at the intersection of competing cultures and geopolitical interests by virtue of its geography and resources. After the 44-day Artsakh war of 2020 the question of 'unblocking communications' resurfaced, and the article examines the transit and corridor projects promoted by different states, with particular attention to Syunik's place in them. It works through the International North-South Transport Corridor, the Persian Gulf–Black Sea project, and the Crossroads of Peace initiative, assessing Syunik's strategic relevance for regional stakeholders and global powers alike.
Argues that the Third Artsakh war transformed the security environment of the South Caucasus and exposed the parameters of hybrid warfare as a new conflict format. The paper analyzes the strategies, tactics, and instruments Azerbaijan deployed against Artsakh, holding that hybrid operations were not new but were sharply intensified after the 44-day war. It identifies the components of the campaign: information-psychological influence operations, economic and energy pressure, ecological claims, the blockade, international campaigning, efforts to split Armenian political power in Armenia and the diaspora, and sabotage against critical infrastructure. The author frames the outcome as a full-scale hybrid operation aimed at producing an Artsakh without Armenians.
Reflects on producing a fully critical, eclectic edition of the classical Armenian translation of Deuteronomy, replacing an earlier diplomatic edition after forty years. Discusses the textual-criticism value of the Armenian version as a secondary witness to the Old Greek/Septuagint, the difficulty a non-Greek version poses for reconstructing its source text, and the methodology and rewards of collating manuscripts. Published by the Matenadaran, Armenia's institute of ancient manuscripts.
Examines the diffusion of the Greek and Armenian versions of the Vita beati Silvestri, a text Shirinian argues has been consistently underestimated. She shows how these versions are entangled with larger questions, above all the claim of apostolic foundation for the papacy and for the patriarchates. The Vita also fed later forgeries built on its content, including the Donation of Constantine and the Armenian Letter of Love and Concord. She concludes that the textual tradition around Sylvester remains an unresolved question that can only be settled by taking all surviving versions, Armenian included, into account.
Examines two prayer-texts in the fifth-century History of Armenia attributed to Agathangelos and asks whether their theological inconsistencies were in the original composition or crept in through later editing and copying. Reviewing all editions, Sahakyan argues the contested passages are probably not original despite their long presence in the transmission, since they conflict with the doctrinal tenets expressed elsewhere in the prayers and in the History as a whole. He calls for a new critical edition attentive to doctrinal questions, and discusses comparable inconsistencies in the Epic Histories of Pawstos Buzand as a parallel case.
A comparison of two patron–client crises studies how Artsakh’s relationship with Armenia changed after the 2020 war alongside the case of Republika Srpska and Serbia.
Interviews, fieldnotes, and institutional research in southeast Michigan expose a gap between Armenian women's community roles as memory keepers and their visibility in formal archives.
The article edits and translates an Armenian invocational prayer preserved from a lost homily on Jonah, probably translated from Syriac and attributed to Jacob of Serugh, using five witnesses in four manuscripts.
