THE NEW VOLUME OF THE "HASK" ARMENOLOGY YEARBOOK IS PRESENTED TO
ARMENIAN INTELLECTUALS
ANTELIAS, Lebanon - The latest volume of the "Hask" Armenology Yearbook,
entitled "New Period. Year X" has been published by the Catholicosate of
Cilicia's publishing house in Antelias. The volume is dedicated to the
1000th anniversary of the writing of "Madian Voghperkoutian" by St. Gregory
of Narek. Published by the joint efforts of the Cilician Holy See and the
Armenian Department of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, the yearbook has
been an enriching contribution in the field of Armenology particularly in
the last decade.
The volume brings together articles by Armenian and foreign armenologists,
whose contributions provide it with a unique value and importance. The
preface to the volume is written by His Holiness Aram I, who accurately
portrays the current situation of Armenology in our reality.
"Armenian chairs established in Western universities are partial and
inconclusive initiatives. However, they have funds available to them.
Armenology is striving to keep its quality in the Yerevan State University.
But even there, the decrease in the number of students, the decline in the
scientific and philosophical quality of the research projects and
publications, as well as their diminishing numbers cause concern. In the
field of Armenology we expect more from Yerevan State University, something
which can be achieved through financial contributions, the creation of an
interests towards Armenology in Armenian students, as well as a reevaluation
of the methods and priorities in the teaching of Armenology," writes the
Pontiff. His Holiness also praises the role of Dr. Zaven Yegavian, Director
of the Armenian Affairs Department of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
The volume combines 28 topics in 451 pages. The editorial work of the volume
was carried out by Rev. Bartev Gulumian, with the final editing of Mr.
Jirayr Tanyelian. The volume was presented to the attendants of the
intellectuals' meeting held in Antelias on March 2.
