If you want to discover the captivating history of Armenian history, then keep reading...
Two captivating manuscripts in one book:
History of Armenia: A Captivating Guide to Armenian History, Starting from Ancient Armenia to Its Declaration of Sovereignty from the Soviet Union
The Armenian Genocide: A Captivating Guide to the Massacre of the Armenians by the Turks of the Ottoman Empire
The tale of Armenia has its beginnings as a glorious ancient kingdom, one that commanded the respect of nations as mighty as Egypt and Babylonia. As its history takes a turn for the darker, each chapter reads like a roll call of the most famous of figures: Antony and Cleopatra, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Frederick Barbarossa. Armenia saw ancient Rome rise to power; it knew Egyptian pharaohs, the Golden Horde, the Soviet Union, and saw the first invasion of the first Muslim army. For a long and ugly part of its history, Armenia struggled under the yokes of one empire after another: the Roman, Parthian, Persian, Byzantine, Timurid, Mongolian, and Ottoman Empires, to name just a few.
Yet through it all, Armenia, time and time again, emerged as a nation with a powerful identity, one that caused much grief over the years, but one that still remains a pillar of strength to its people in good times and in bad. There is much sorrow held within these pages; much oppression, much persecution, and even the most terrible evil of them all--genocide. The reading is made easy by one single gleaming light, a golden thread running through every word and chapter, and that light is the Armenian people themselves.
Their story is tragic, but their survival is incredible. And that is what makes their tale so inspiring.

Описание: This book provides a critical review of the achievements and challenges of European organizations promoting democracy in the Republic of Armenia. Armenia is a post-transition country and yet not a consolidated democracy. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, the Council of Europe, and the European Union with its Neighbourhood Policy have been actively engaged in the country’s democratization process. A central question is to what extent reforms and recommendations have been accepted in Armenia, and whether they convey real implementations. By analyzing the organizations’ activities and recommendations, this book explains how projects overlap, whether they reveal an interlocking or interblocking nature, and when they cause unintended side effects.

Описание: This is the third collection of articles by Nina Garso??an on Early Armenian history and civilization. A number of articles included here continue earlier investigations of Iranian and Byzantine political and, especially, doctrinal and social influences on Medieval Armenia, precariously wedged between the two super-powers of the period, Byzantium and Sasanian Persia. A second theme is the development of the autocephalous Armenian Church as it freed itself from foreign pressures and achieved its own dogmatic position. Last, several studies consider some inadequacies in some recent historiography and suggest a more promising redirection in our approach to Armenian history and the formation of its national identity.

Persian Mythology: Captivating Myths of Gods, Goddesses, Heroes, and Legendary Creatures
Tales from the Caucasus: Captivating Myths and Legends from Circassia, Armenia, and Georgia
The roots of Persian myth extend back more than five thousand years to the culture of the Aryan people who migrated into Iran from India. Ideas from this ancient culture have enjoyed amazing longevity and are alive even today as part of the Zoroastrian faith, which is still practiced in Iran, India, and several other places around the world.
However, Persian myth is more than just sacred writings about divine beings. There are also fantastic tales of kings and queens, of foundling princes who gain their rightful place against all odds, of magical beasts, and the daring adventures of bold heroes who ride out to conquer demons and dragons alike-and who always come home victorious.
Some of the topics and myths covered in manuscript 1 of this book include:
The struggle between the good creator, Ahura Mazda, and the evil destroyer, Angra Mainyu
The story of Ahura Mazda's creation of the world and the Blessed Immortals who guard it and keep it in existence
How Yima the good shepherd enlarged the world to make room for all its creatures and then saved it from an apocalyptic winter
The victory of the prophet Zarathustra over the demons sent to kill him
The story of Kuyamars, the very first Persian king, and his grandson Hushang, who discovered fire
The downfall of King Jamshid the Magnificent, who thought he was as powerful as God
The evil Prince Zahhak, who had serpents growing out of his shoulders
The fearsome but kindly Simorgh, a mythical giant bird with a lion's head
The great hero Rostam and his faithful stallion, Rakhsh
And more
Some of the topics and myths covered in manuscript 2 of this book include:
Tales about the Circassian hero Sosruko and his friend, the blacksmith god Tlepsh
How Tlepsh went looking for knowledge at the end of the world and met Lady Tree

Описание: There is a great deal of interest in the history of Armenia since its renewed independence in the 1990s and the ongoing debate about the genocide - an interest that informs the strong desire of a new generation of Armenian Americans to learn more about their heritage and has led to greater solidarity in the community.
Did you know that the Caucasus region is home to a variety of myths and legends, some ancient, some medieval, and all influenced in some way by interactions with outside cultures?
The Caucasus Mountains straddle the isthmus between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. The location of the Caucasus region has made it a crossroads for travelers, traders, and invaders from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East alike. Many of the languages spoken in the Caucasus are unique to the region, while others are related to Turkic and Indo-European languages.
This region's myths and legends are not as well known to outsiders as the mythologies of places like ancient Greece or ancient Egypt. The Circassian and Armenian genocides took their toll, as did the Soviet occupation, the last of which purged much of the native culture. Nevertheless, much of the mythology and literature of the Caucasus still survives today.
In this book, you will get a brief but captivating introduction to some of the fine tales created by the resilient people who call this part of the world their home.
Here is just a small fraction of what you'll discover:
Tales about the Circassian hero Sosruko and his friend, the blacksmith god Tlepsh
How Tlepsh went looking for knowledge at the end of the world and met Lady Tree
Just-so tales about the origins of earthquakes, thunder, and the Milky Way
Influences from Persian literature on stories from Armenia and Georgia
A fairy tale about a merciful exiled prince and his clever servant
The adventures of the bold knights Avtandil and Tariel, both brave as lions and desperately in love with their fair ladies

Описание:
The volume is an easy reading and a must for the beginner student and interested party of the history of Armenia as well as for those more familiar with Armenian and its history. The author, an expert on Armenian history, has masterfully covered all aspects of the Armenian history such as Armenian literature, Armenian Church, the history of Armenian old and modern language, architecture, sculpture, music etc. along with all the historical events, starting from the beginning of the human civilization and that of Armenian one to the modern era of Armenia.
Описание: This collection of documents and maps provides scholars with an independent research publication whose primary aim is to illustrate key events, using material from British government archives, as markers in defining Armenian territory. These seventy years are crucial in the formation of the boundaries of what now constitutes the state of Armenia. The 'Armenian Question' came under international scrutiny with the rise of modern nationalism in the Armenian communities living in the Ottoman and Russian empires. Borders had always shifted to and fro on the territory inhabited by Armenians. What changed from the nineteenth century onwards was that the Armenians - despite now tried to set a political agenda of their own, ultimately, the creation of an independent Armenian state encompassing a large part of what they considered to be their historical homeland, and to gain the maximum from the rivalry of the Great Powers in Anatolia and the Transcaucasus.
