Շանթի թատերգութեան իւրայատկութիւններն ու փիլիսոփայական ենթիմաստը
(2003) Վաչագան Գրիգորեան
The early 1900s were a milestone for Armenian socio-cultural circles looking for ways to promote awareness among their ethnic kin. Armenian language newspapers and periodicals had started shaping a new socio-cultural taste, in line with the winds of change brought about by the beginning of a new century. The changes noticeable in Armenian literary works, especially plays, had been slower, however, compared to the transformation in the Armenian language print media. Vachagan Grigorian analyzes in this article the role the Armenian playwright Levon Shant (1859-1951) played in this regard. Grigorian argues that Shant infused fresh blood into Armenian drama by introducing new themes, characters and new psychology. In contrast to established, age-old socio-cultural perceptions, Shant discussed open-ended topics, contemplated issues with no definite answers and raised concerns, which remain of interest to all humankind.

Գարեգին Նժդեհն արխիւային փաստաթղթերում
(2003) Սերհակ Ամիրեան
The name of Geregin Njdeh (Ter-Haroutiunian, 1886-1955) was never pronounced in positive light during the seven decades of Soviet rule in Armenia. This devoted member of the Dashnak party was described as an “enemy of the people” for his anti-Soviet activities. Much has changed since, points out Serhat Amirian in this article, several monographs have been published on Njdeh's life in the newly independent Republic of Armenia since 1991. The author believes, however, that there is still a lot so do in this regard in light of the newly accessible archival documents in Armenia. Basing his argument on the current availability of recently discovered documents pertaining to Njdeh, Amirian thinks it has become necessary to write his fresh and comprehensive political biography.

(2003) Բախտիար Յովակիմեան
The article analyses the impact of Russian theatrical criticism on Armenian literary circles between 1840 and 1900. Belinskii was the forerunner of Russian literary criticism in those days, expanding the restricted and the outmoded conceptions of drama and stage acting in his homeland and modernizing them. Mochalov was the actor Belinskii had in mind as a living example of how an actor should perform on stage. Both exercised a very strong influence on Armenian youth studying in Moscow. Among them. Gevorg Akhverdian. Theodoros Khatamian, Sargis Hovhannisian, Sargis Tigranian and others were impressed by these new ideas and were instrumental in carrying them back to Tiflis (Tbilisi), where they helped bring about a qualitative change in the development of Armenian theater in the South Caucasus. The influence of Belinskii and Russian progressive perspective also reached the South Caucasus through their publications. For instance, local Armenian writers and actors, like Gevorg Chmshkian and Mihrdat Amerikian, were acquainted with the ideas of Belinskii and other progressive Russian thinkers by reading their publications and reports in the press.

Մի քանի խօսք Բոշայ անուան շուրջ
(2003) Վարդան Ոսկանեան
Part of the gypsies, who lived originally in the northeast of the Indian Peninsula, left this region in the early centuries of the first millennium A.D., settled on the Armenian Plateau in the 11th-12th centuries were gradually integrated into the Armenian people. However, the existence of gypsies among the Armenians led to the enrichment of the Armenian language with new words related to the former ethnic group. Vardan Voskanian selects all the words with such connotations that can be found in the Armenian literary language, as well as in the various Armenian dialects. He discusses the etymology and semantics of these words. The eldest of these words is boshay, which is mentioned in writing as early as 1597. The other words discussed by Voskanian are the following: gnchu, taparakan, hay-boshay, maghagorts-boshay, metreb/merteb jingian/jengian/jiengjana/chinkiane, gharachi, lorik, ebdal/avdal, lom and dom.

(2003) Աննա Արեւշատեան
Anna Arevshatian analyzes the relationship between martyrology and hymns in Armenian medieval church music. One of the oldest Armenian hymns dedicated to a martyr was written in 618. By comparing Syriac, Byzantine and Armenian hymns dedicated to martyrs, the author argues that these hymns were placed, as a rule, on the fourth lateral mode in the Oktoechos ("utdzayn”) Armenian Church music.
