comply becuase there is a definite need for the kind of study Dr. Ayvazyan
has written...Dr. Armen Ayzazyan's...dense study of Byzantine, Armenian and
Iranian military relations is a pioneering piece of scholarhsip, indeed
capable of triggerring a renewed interest by Western military historians

one of the author's stated objectives in his Preface, which represents, in
