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)

Էրզրումի նահանգի Քղի գավառակի հայության տեղահանությունը. Քղիից դեպի Դեր Զոր (Deportation of Armenians from the Sub-District of Keghi, Erzerum Province: From Keghi to Der Zor)

Kazaryan, Anna A., 2024
Ցեղասպանագիտական հանդես / Journal of Genocide Studies, Vol. 12, No. 1, pp. 63–75 (AGMI Foundation, Yerevan); DOI 10.51442/jgs.0053

Drawing on archival sources, houshamatyans and survivor testimony collections, Kazaryan reconstructs events of 1914–1915 in the Keghi sub-district of Erzerum province. She traces the Ottoman government's persecutory policy against the local Armenians, the methods used to carry out the deportation, the violence inflicted along the route, and the principal massacre sites. Her argument is methodological as well as documentary: studying deportation and annihilation at the level of individual districts, and even single villages, yields a fuller understanding of how the Genocide was actually implemented.

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.
