Ka'ren Ketendjian and Robert H. Hewsen will present the new publication
The History of the Land of Artsakh on Sunday, January 26, 2014, at 4:00
p.m. at the Ararat-Eskijian Museum, Sheen Chapel, 15105 Mission Hills
Road, Mission Hills, CA. The event is sponsored by the Ararat-Eskijian
Museum and the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research
(NAASR). A reception will follow the program.
Abp. Sergius Hasan-Jalaliants' History of the Land of Artsakh
(Patmutiwn Aghuanits Ashkhari), written in the first quarter of
the 19th century, continues the work of his earlier relative Isaiah
(Esai) Hasan-Jalaliants, in presenting the history of Karabagh (which
the author refers to as the "land of Aghuank") in the period of the
Armeno-Persian and Russo-Persian wars (1722-1827), a crucial period in
the history of the region. The elder Jalaliants' history was translated
by George Bournoutian; newly published by Mazda Publishers is The
History of the Land of Artsakh in a translation by Ka'ren Ketendjian,
edited and with an introduction by Robert H. Hewsen.
A native of Erevan, Armenia, Ka'ren V. Ketendjian received his master's
degree from V. I. Brusov Foreign Language Institute in Armenia where
he studied English and Russian languages and literature.
Mr. Ketendjian received his juris doctor degree from San Joaquin
College of Law. He is a duly licensed attorney and has his own private
practice in Fresno, California, where he currently resides with his
wife. He is active in Fresno Armenian community affairs.
Mr. Ketendjian's roots are from Cilicia and Gandzak, thus his interest
in Hasan-Jalaliants' History, which is his first major attempt at
translating into English a Classical Armenian text.
Born in New York City, Robert H. Hewsen received his doctorate from
Georgetown University where he studied Armenian history under the late
pioneer Armenist Cyril Toumanoff. From 1967 to 1999, he taught Russian
and Byzantine History at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, as
well as other major universities. Dr. Hewsen is the author of numerous
scholarly works, including the landmark Armenia: A Historical Atlas.
