'ARMENIAN REVIEW' RELEASES LATEST ISSUE
Armenian Weekly
March 29, 2012
Following a long tradition of publishing non-thematic issues, the
latest volume of the Armenian Review-released in March-follows two
thematic publications and includes four scholarly articles and a
number of book reviews and review essays.
The latest volume of the Armenian Review includes four scholarly
articles and a number of book reviews and review essays.
The issue starts with a discussion by Ara Sanjian on the challenges,
limitations, and opportunities confronting historians conducting
in-depth research about the Armenia Revolutionary Federation (ARF).
The article provides a survey of the limited materials available to
scholars about the ARF-whether academic research or personal memoirs.
Also highlighted is the need for the comprehensive use of archival
material to be able to map, narrate, and evaluate the history of the
ARF, especially its post-1924 activities in the diaspora.
Another piece, authored by Bedross Der Matossian, is a comprehensive
survey of the archival material at the Armenian Patriarchate of
Jerusalem. Der Matossian offers a brief survey of the archives
available at various locations before providing a detailed account
of the material available at the Patriarchate. He then offers an
accounting of the archives based on sub-themes and time periods. This
piece is the first public examination and analysis of the material
related to the Armenian Genocide at the Jerusalem Patriarchate.
The third piece is a collaborative effort by Katy E. Pearce, Howard
Giles, Christopher Hajek, Valerie Barker, and Charles Choi, and is an
intriguing comparison of the attitudes of citizens in Armenia and the
United States toward their respective police forces. The research not
only looks into the attitudes of citizens but also attempts to measure
the respect and trust that citizens in each country have toward their
law enforcement agencies. The piece is based on a detailed theoretical
framework and provides insight into relations between community and
law enforcement in each country.
The fourth piece, penned by Armen Baibourtian, is a hybrid of academic
research and the personal accounts of a diplomat. As Armenia's first
ambassador to India, Baibourtian has been able to directly observe
and formulate bilateral relations between the two countries. The
article provides a brief historical background before focusing on the
continually increasing levels of cooperation between Yerevan and New
Delhi, in the process highlighting some of the strategic priorities
of the newly established Republic of Armenia during its earliest years.
As the Armenian Review approaches its 65th anniversary, the editorial
team expresses its firm commitment to a similarly productive future
for the journal. The digitization of all past issues is underway,
and the initial stages of that work have already been completed. The
wealth of resources that 60 years' worth of issues constitutes is
monumental. To support this effort and for more information, e-mail

Annual subscription rates are $30 for individuals and $60 for
institutions at U.S. addresses. For addresses outside the U.S.,
subscription rates are $35 for individuals and $70 for institutions.
