Applied Armenology as a component part of national security

In the present-day world the precondition to secure competitiveness
for Armenia and Armenians and self-reproduction is the problem of
self-knowledge, that's to say deep knowledge of our own country's
history, geography, language, culture and other components of spiritual
and material identity.
Armenology is a complex of sciences investigating that field: It
forms a complete ideology concerning to cognition, preservation and
enrichment of Armenian political values.
In the present processes of mutual exclusion and interosculation
is formed a competition of "nation-values" and a new informational
reality reflecting the struggle among the civilizations. Now days
the plans of global and regional states as well as neighbor countries
with clear geopolitical and ideological goals concerning to Armenia
and Armenians turn into a conception of the nation's history and
culture. Spreading throughout the world they often form not real
ideas about Republic of Armenia (RA) and the Armenians.
These conceptions deteriorate not only the harmony of our inner
spiritual-ideological field but also have a bad influence on the
processes carried in international institutions concerning to Armenia
and Armenians. Among these processes we must single out the political
and military-political developments in the context of Genocide and
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (Artsakh).
In these conditions the problems of Armenology overstep the limits
of scientific definitions characteristic to the previous epochs
and is re-interpreted as state strategy aiming to preserve Armenian
state interests and state security. In these circumstances of civil
competition the problems of the developments of Armenology has turned
into national security and a precondition to preserve informational
security (especially in its spiritual-cultural part) as its most
important component. Thus scientific-cognitive functions of Armenology
are conditionally divided into two parts - fundamental and applied.
The aim of applied Armenology is to use the results produced from
fundamental researches in informational, ideological and political
spheres as productively as possible and to employ it in RA national
security. In this context applied Armenology plans to realize such
systematic functions in ideological-political field which will be in
keeping with the logic of civilization clashes at the present stage of
globalization ensuring spiritual-cultural security and competitiveness
of RA and Armenians.
It's worth mentioning that the functions of applied Armenology,
streaming from the items in informational security, don't push the
problem of self-knowledge to the background and don't change into a
primitive propagandistic and politicized process. On the contrary,
making the discussed scientific problems urgent, the applied functions
of Amenology internationalize and extend the existing ideas about
them in the fundamental level too. Furthermore, such a modernized
approach to the problem will further to combine different spheres of
Armenology and to develop new directions of fundamental investigations.
Among the functions realized in the context of applied Armenology
should be particularly singled out the following directions: 1. The
formation of Armenian peculiar civilization with pivotal components
of Western and Eastern system values and the ability of Armenians to
move in accordance with global processes. Elaboration and utilization
of the mechanisms necessary to develop Armenian language in today's
assimilated environment. 2. The incessant inhabitation of the
Armenian nation in Armenian highland, which formed the ethnic
majority till the Armenian's Genocide, and the consolidation
of the idea of succession in Armenian's history, statehood and
civilization. The formation of the succession idea in the Armenian
nation's struggle for existence, the consolidation and extension
of the idea of Armenian policy as an exporter of cultural values.
3. Realization of the necessity to develop the Armenian nation at
the present conditions, the usage of up-to-date net technologies for
self-organization and self-governing. To stress up the importance of
discovery and elucidation problems of Armenian identity in the context
of common perception of preservation of Armenians. 4. The elaboration
of symmetric and asymmetric approaches to withstand the strategies
contradicting our national interests in the field of Armenology.
The realization of above mentioned functions supposes successive
implementation of the complex of interconnected scientific researches
and informational processes, which will solve the problems urgent for
Armenology and will introduce the produced results to the national
and international community.
