The Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem will petition the Armenian Apostolic Church at Ejmiatsin to sanctify patriarchs Grigor Paronter (1613-1645) and Grigor Shghtayakir (1717-1749).
As the existence of miracles, written by reliable sources, is considered a necessary condition for sanctification, the author has brought to the limelight an unpublished story found in manuscript N 532 of the Armenian Matenadaran in Jerusalem, which narrates a miracle. According to the story, the miracle happened in the year 1729, in the presence of Armenians and Greeks, during Easter celebrations, when the candles of the church Surb Harutyun were lit from the candles in the hands of patriarch Grigor Sghtayakir without touching. A large number of Armenian and Greek pilgrims witnessed the incident.

The Monastery of Tatev (province of Syunik, Republic of Armenia, Tatev village) is rich in epigraphic inscriptions, some of which are still unpublished. An inscription bearing the name of Saint Pandaleon, preserved on what may be a pilaster pedestal or two parts of an obelisk base, stands out among several others and is the focus of this paper.
In this study, the author argues that the cult worship of St. Pandaleon was widespread in Artsakh. This tradition seems to had started in this area St. Grigoris, son of St. Gregory the Illuminator. As a further proof of this widespread tradition, the author notes that relics of St. Pandaleon are preserved in several sanctuaries of Armenia (St. Etchmiatsin, Gandzasar, Hovhannavank), St. Astvatsatsin of Sushi, St. Astvatsatsin of the village of Avetaranots, etc.). He points out that St. Pandaleon is also pictured in the Armenian miniatures (Manuscripts of Matenadaran after Mesrop Mashtos, N 1533, 4519).
As the monastery of Tatev is not far from Artsakh, the paper asserts that the discovery of this inscription in Tatev indicates that he relics of St. Pandaleon were also buried in Tatev and an obelisk or monument was erected on the occasion.

The files of Armenian-American writer Hamasdegh (Hampartzum Gelenian, 1895-1966) were organized by fellow writer and close friend Aram Haigaz (Chekemian, 1900-1986) in 1971, and later delivered to the Museum of Literature and Art, "Yeghishe Charents" of Yerevan, during Soviet times. However, some items, mostly letters, were not included in the delivery due to their sensitive nature at the time. Hamasdegh was a member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, as well as some of his correspondents, and the undelivered letters, in Haigaz's view, were of a highly subjective nature as they depicted the party or some of its members in an unfair way. In the end, the cache of letters - some of them apparently lost in the process - reached the archives of the Eastern Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic Church (New York). Our examination of these documents allowed us select ten letters that, in spite of some controversial or inflammatory characterizations, were suitable for publication given their value as a source of information. The present publication includes annotated letters written to Hamasdegh by Rouben Darbinian (1888-1968), political activist and editor in chief of Hairenik Publications; Gostan Zarian (1885-1969), writer; Dertad Kazanjian (1895-1966), political activist; Rouben Ter Minassian (1882-1951), political activist and former Interior Minister of the first Republic of Armenia; Simon Vratzian (1883-1969), political activist and former Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia; Krikor Chahinian (1930-2009), literary critic; and Papken Papazian (1915-1990), political activist.

Very little is known about the hardships and massacres the Kilis Armenians faced during the Adana Massacres of 1909. Though the town itself was not attacked, at least nine Kilis Armenians who were out of the town were attacked and killed. In addition, the neighborhood and the surrounding Armenian villages and towns were attacked and many Armenians were killed, villages burnt and belongings looted.
The documents, eight letters in total, were written between May and August 1909, and all are addressed to Father Shahe Kasbarian, the vice-prelate of Aleppo. Seven of the letters were written by Fr. Vartan Tovmassian, the vice-prelate of the town of Kilis.

Sultan Abdul Hamid used the occupation of the Ottoman Bank by Armenian revolutionaries as a pretext to persecute Armenian national and cultural figures in Constantinople and give the green light to extensive massacres in the Armenian Vilayets. Indeed, the era 1896 to 1908 is considered the most repressive of Abdul Hamid's regime. Several Armenian political figures fled the Empire and settled in Europe, particularly in France and Great Britain, while others resumed their anti-oppression activities from Egypt. Among these figures was Arpiar Arpiarian (1851, Constantinople-1908, Cairo), a western Armenian author, editor, publisher and a renowned revolutionary member of the Social Democratic Hunchak Party.
The letters, dated 1896 and 1897, are addressed to him by two of his revolutionary friends, Arshag Chobanian and Levon Pashalian.
The letters are just a few in a bundle of letters addressed to Arpiarian. They discuss matters related to the propagation of the Armenian cause in Europe, pro-Armenian sympathy in Europe, and issues of collaboration with dissident young Turks; they also reflect the life and concerns of Armenian nationals living in exile.
