"Hayots Dzor" - the first volume in the History of Armenia series has
been published. The book will be presented to public tomorrow, Samvel
Karapetyan, Head of the Research on the Armenian Architecture NGO, told
reporters today. The book is being translated into English and Russian.
This volume series pursues the aim of presenting the history of
Armenia district by district (each of them village by village) for
the first time in Armenian Studies,
The research is based on published sources and manuscripts in Armenian
and foreign languages that have been accumulated for many decades,
as well as on rich field material collected during the trips made to
different parts of Mets Hayk (Armenia Maior) since the late 1950s.
Each of these 36 volumes will be dedicated to a district of Historical
Armenia, namely Armenia Maior and Armenia Minor (Mets Hayk and Pokr
Hayk). Every volume will treat the history of the given district
and that of all its inhabited places according to a specified set
of subtitles (location, name, historical introduction, population,
statistical data, employment, economy, churches, schools, historical
monuments, prominent Armenians from the given place, etc.).
Each of them will be enriched with more than 1,000 photographs, as
well as a wide variety of maps, measurements, inscription tracings
and other supplementary materials.
The first volume of the series is symbolically dedicated to Hayots
Dzor as the Patriarch of the Armenian nation, Hayk, founded his house
in this very district after his victorious battle against Bel.
The project is expected to be completed within 10-12 years.
