WATERTOWN-The Armenian Review, an academic, peer-reviewed journal
featuring articles by highly acclaimed academicians, has revamped
its Web site to include indexes of past issues, including those
from the first published volumes. The Review has also been active
in co-sponsoring panel discussions with participants from various
academic institutions.
The Armenian Review editorial staff has been compiling a full index of
its issues since the first volume, which was published in 1948. Each
index listing breaks down the volume summaries by issue and includes
the article name as well as name of the author. While there are
some issues missing from the index list, the complete list will be
completed by the end of this year.
"It is essential that the full index of all of the Armenian Review's
volumes be made available online in order to generate a renewed
interest in the enlightening scholarly papers that have revealed
countless important aspects of Armenian long, often turbulent history,
Armenia's geopolitical standing and more importantly, the Armenian
psyche," said Dr. Asbed Kotchikian, who is the editor in chief of
the Armenian Review and is also a lecturer in political science at
Bentley University.
"We also aim to digitize the Armenian Review archives as soon as
possible with the goal of preserving them for future generations,
the logistics of which we are still evaluating," he said.
Deals have already been signed to make future issues of the Armenian
Review made available online from the educational printing services and
research databases such as Ebsco and Gale. This will allow researchers
almost immediate access to scholarly articles published in the Review
from virtually any location where an Internet connection is provided.
Since the start of 2009, the Armenian Review has co-sponsored two panel
discussions, one of which, "Subjects and Citizens: (Un)Even Relations
between Turks, Kurds, Armenians," was organized in partnership with
the Global Studies Department of Bentley University and took place
in April 2009. The panel's participants discussed various relevant
issues related to historic and modern relations between Armenians,
Turks and Kurds.
Most recently, on August 6, a panel discussion titled "Armenia's
Foreign Policy on Two Fronts: Recent Developments in Nagorno-Karabakh
and Turkey-Armenia Relations" was held at the National Association for
Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) Center. The panelists discussed
recent developments related to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution
and Armenia's relations with Turkey in geopolitical contexts. NAASR
co-sponsored the event with the Armenian Review. The panelists included
Dr. Levon Chorbajian, Dr. Asbed Kotchikian and Dr. Henry Theriault.
Several more panel discussions and forums will be co-sponsored by
the Armenian Review in the months to come.
The next issue of the Armenian Review, scheduled for publishing in
September 2009, will be entirely dedicated to topics related to civil
society. There are two more issues planned for publishing during the
next six months one of which will be a special issue reflecting on
the 60th anniversary of the journal.
The Armenian Review was first published in 1948 by Hairenik Press and
soon became a leading quarterly journal featuring mainly academic
papers written by some of the most respected scholars and experts
on Armenian historical, social, political, and cultural affairs. The
publication currently prints issues twice a year.
While the newly revamped website of the Armenian Review
(www.armenianreview.org) is still undergoing changes and upgrades,
it is possible for interested individuals to purchase subscriptions
or pay for back issues by utilizing PayPal.

[email protected]. For subscriptions and back issues, please
