    THE ARMENIAN BIBLE: IDENTITY, RELIGION & CHALLENGES IN A POST MODERN SOCIETY

    Gibrahayer
    Oct 2009

    Nicosia, October 2009 - The Christianisation of Armenia in 301AD
    has been a turning point in its national history. A new culture was
    started which was further rooted and implemented with the invention of
    the Armenian alphabet and the translation of the Bible into Armenian.

    Since then, the Bible has been the essence of the Christian faith
    for the Armenian nation and the preservation of its national identity
    and culture.

    Dr. Ari Topouzkhanian's visit to Cyprus from October 28 to November 2,
    2009, was very significant in this respect. A prominent scientist and
    Bible scholar-translator, Dr. Topouzkhanian stimulated the Armenian
    audience with his two very inspiring lectures: "Hay Asdvadsashounchi
    Shaheganoutioune: Badmagan Agnarg yev nergaorerou hramayagane". (The
    essence of the Armenian Bible: Historical reflections and the present
    day challenges); "Havadk yev kidoutioun: Hay Kristonia Yeridasartin
    penderdouke" (Faith and Science: The Christian Armenian youths'
    search for identity). Dr. Topouzkhanian was also the speaker at the
    Armenian Evangelical Church's service, celebrating Tarkmanchatz.

    Dr. Ari Topouzkhanian's visit and lectures in Cyprus were organised by
    the Armenian Evangelical Church. Dr. Topouzkhanian had the opportunity
    to meet with the leadership of the Armenian community in Cyprus and
    visit its institutions. He visited the Armenian Prelacy of Cyprus, met
    with the Armenian representative in the Cyprus Parliament, Mr. Vartkes
    Mahdessian, and visited Kalaydjian Home. He had an audience with the
    students of Nareg School in Nicosia, challenging them with issues
    related to Christian faith and science. Dr.

    Topouzkhanian gave an interview to the Armenian program of the Cyprus
    Broadcasting Corporation.

    The Armenian Bible is the fundamental source for the preservation
    of the national identity and the Christian faith of the Armenian
    nation, the two identities that the Armenian nation has maintained
    throughout the ages. The challenge today is to pass them on to the
    next generation.
