What is being done to Armenian monuments in Artsakh now is not new and it is not vandalism. Seda Parsamyan traces the demolition policy of the Hamidian massacres of the 1890s and puts the legal question directly: when a state sets out to erase a people's churches, at what point does that become cultural genocide? She works through how the concept has been defined, redefined and quietly narrowed by people who would rather it did not apply. The frame she builds is the one now being reached for over Artsakh.

Mass Destruction of Armenian Cultural Heritage during the Hamidian Massacres (1894-1896)

Parsamyan, Seda A. · 2023 · International Journal of Armenian Genocide Studies, Vol. 8, No. 2, pp. 5–34 (AGMI, Yerevan); DOI 10.51442/ijags.0043

Hakobyan, Elen, 2025

Ցեղասպանագիտական հանդես (Journal of Genocide Studies), Vol. 13, No. 1 (AGMI / NAS RA, Yerevan)

Armenian-language study documenting the December 1919 massacre of the Armenians of Agulis, the historic Armenian town in Nakhichevan, and the role of local Azerbaijani-Turkish authorities in organizing it. Situates Agulis within the continuum of anti-Armenian violence that extended beyond 1915, contributing to scholarship on the total de-Armenization of Nakhichevan.

Հայկական սփյուռքի ձևավորման գործընթացը 1920-ական թվականներին (The Formation Process of the Armenian Diaspora in the 1920s)

Moskovyan, Lusine, 2025

Պատմություն և մշակույթ / History and Culture, Vol. 22, No. 1, pp. 151–162 (Yerevan State University Publishing House); DOI 10.46991/hc.2025.22.1.151

Examines the situation created after the Armenian Genocide, when a large part of the Armenian population was settled outside the borders of the homeland. The article presents the 'Spiritual Armenia' (Հոգևոր Հայաստան) ideology developed by Dashnaktsutyun figures as the ideological foundation for consolidating the diaspora. It clarifies and analyzes the Armenian term 'սփյուռք' and reviews historians' positions on how the term evolved and was applied in the Armenian context. It then gives a comprehensive picture of the geographic distribution and demographic size of the Armenian diaspora during its formative decade, the 1920s, across the Middle East and the United States.

Aid to Armenia: Humanitarianism and Intervention from the 1890s to the Present

Laycock, Joanne · Piana, Francesca, 2020

Manchester University Press, Manchester, 2020, 216 pp., ISBN 978-1-5261-4220-7 (Humanitarianism: Key Debates and New Approaches)

This ten-essay volume examines more than a century of humanitarian engagement with Armenia and Armenians, from the Hamidian massacres of the 1890s to the present day. The editors frame Armenia as a recurring focal point of international aid, tracing shifting transnational networks of relief across the Ottoman, Tsarist, Soviet, and post-independence periods. Geographically the chapters range across the Caucasus, Russia, the Middle East, Europe, North and South America, and Australia. Individual essays treat relief during the Hamidian massacres, Russian imperial responses, Norwegian relief operations, Australian and Brazilian campaigns, diaspora philanthropy, post-1988 earthquake aid, peacebuilding, and Syrian Armenian refugees. Closing reflections come from refugee historian Peter Gatrell and Armenian studies scholar Ronald Grigor Suny. The collection positions the Armenian case as central to the global history of humanitarianism rather than a footnote to it.

How this repository is built

What is in this repository?

Peer-reviewed and institutional scholarship on Armenian subjects — history, the Armenian Genocide, Artsakh, language and literature, the church, and the diaspora — in any language and from any country. Journal articles, books, book chapters, theses and institute publications are all in scope. Entries are chosen for what they contribute to an Armenian student's understanding, not for how recent or how famous they are.

What does 'verified' mean here?

It means a person opened the link and checked the record against the publisher's own page: the title, the authors, the venue, the volume and pages, and the identifier. The date of that check is shown on each entry's page. Where an entry has no date shown, no check has been logged for it yet, and the catalogue does not claim one.

What is the summary on each entry?

A short account of what the publication does, followed by notes on what it offers different readers — a student writing a term paper, an academic, someone reading for the community, someone new to the subject. They are meant to tell you what a piece is useful for, not only what it argues.

How do I suggest a publication, or report an error?

Use the 'Suggest a publication' link at the foot of the directory. The same address takes corrections — a broken link, a wrong page range, a misattributed author. Corrections are checked against the publisher's record before an entry changes.
