Ուրուագիծ Զէյթունի Պատմութեան
(1972) Shorvoghlian, Aram
In the northeastern region of Armenian Cilicia, the rocky province of Zeitoun, which throughout the Ottoman domination kept its internal autonomy, has been the study subject of both Armenian and foreign scholars, who have attempted to present the various aspects of the historic past and the political and civic life of this part of Armenian occupancy. Despite these scholarly efforts, however, the remotest past of Zeitoun, the origin of this name, and other related matters remain shrouded. To elucidate the past history of Zeitoun, a study of the Zeitoun dialect may be conductive to a resolution of some of the knotty problems. The past life of Zeitoun presents its own peculiar picture, quite different from that of other regions, so that it is doubtful whether the use of conventional formulas to explain life in Zeitoun will prove to be fruitful. In 1915, the Turks destroyed and exiled the inhabitants of Zeitoun along with the entire mass of Western Armenians.

Սուրիահայ Մամուլի Պատմութիւն
(1972) Der Khatchadourian, Ardashes
In Syria, the Armenian press has developed mainly in Aleppo. Armenian life in this city is a matter of centuries, with its beginnings in the 15th century. The Armenian Church of «Karasnitz Mangantz» dates from this century. A substantial increase of the Armenians in Aleppo occurred during the early second part of the 19th century. In 1915, the genocide and the forced deportations perpetrated by the Turks resulted in tens of thousands of Armenians taking refuge in Aleppo. The first Armenian newspaper in Aleppo, AL-FURAT, was published by the Ottoman government, in the years 1869-1870. From 1915 down to the present time, 75 publications — newspapers, weeklies, monthlies, periodicals, year books, etc. — have been issued at different times, in the Armenian language. Yeprad (daily newspaper 1929-1949), Arevelk (daily newspaper, 1946-1960), and Nayiri (literary monthly) are the worthiest representatives of the Armenian press in Syria. At present, four Armenian periodicals are issued in Aleppo.

Եղիա Տեմիրճիպաշեանի Բառակերտական Նպաստը Հայ Գրական Լեզուին
(1972) Aghbashian, Baruyr
In the 19th century, one of the important phases of the battles for the enhancement of the Western Armenia literary dialect was militated against what was then considered to be the paucity of the Armenian vocabulary, the enrichment of which became the prime concern of those who waged a literary war for the modern Armenian literary dialect. Highly commendable in this field is the toil of Yeghia Demirjibashian (1851-1908), who through his literary art, metaphysical work, and French-Armenian dictionary, gave us numerous new words, exploiting chiefly the method of compounding words, one to which the Armenian language so naturally lends itself. A considerable number of the words coined and compounded by the well-known writer were incorporated into the Western Armenian modern dialect.

Պտուկեան, Զ., Կիլիկիոյ Կոստանդին Գ. - Լեւոն Բռնակալ - Կոստանդին Դ.ի Կարեւոր Դրամագիւտ Մը
(1972) Bedoukian, Zareh
About ten years ago, a find consisting of 636 coins, was bought in Constantinople. It remains uncertain as to when and where the find was originally located. The find then became the property of a New Yorker, Mr. Gevrekian. At present, only a small part of it remians in the possession of both Mr. Gevrekian and the writer of this article. The coins of this find were minted by the three kings of the last period of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia — Constantine III, Levon the Tyrant, and Constantine IV —who ruled from 1344 to 1373. A study of the find results in certain revisions of the history of the time these kings were in power. It can also be asserted that the royalty minted coins that contained little silver, and were therefore discrepant in value with reference to other silver coins.

Հալիձորի Բերդը
(1972) Hasratian, Mourad
In the 11th century, in the wake of the loss of the independence of Armenia, Armenian convents realize that they must ensure their own safety. Very soon, old and newly-built convents are surrounded wuth surveillant citadels. The convent-citadel architectural complex, however, takes its definitive form in the 17th century. One of the most important provinves of Armenia, Sunik, has its prominent citadels. Most famous of these convent-citadels is that of Halitzor, built during the first half of the 17th century. The castle plays a notable role in the 18th century battles for independence conducted by David Beg, which transforms it to an inaccessible citadel, as headquarters of liberated Ghapan. At present, very little is left of that castle, but even the fractional part is sufficient testimony of its special architectural value.
