Following the death of Artaxias II (20 B.C.), Armenia was weakened. Armenian rulers were being appointed by Rome, or Parthia tried to install its own candidates on the throne of Armenia. In many cases, the newly appointed king was not acceptable to the Armenians and he was assassinated, expelled from the country, or forced to flee from Armenia and take refuge elsewhere.
Germanicus was sent by Emperor Tiberius to pacify Armenia and find a person acceptable to the Armenians. He crowned Zeno, the son of King Polemon of Pontus and Queen Pythodoris, as Artaxias III (A.D. 18–34). Germanicus issued silver Roman didrachms and drachms to commemorate the crowning of Artaxias.
Recently, a new bronze coin was discovered and the find published by Frank L. Kovacs. The coin can without doubt be attributed to Artaxias III. The obverse depicts a five-pointed Armenian tiara on the left, an eight-rayed star on the right, and (meaning tetrachalcon) below on the left. The translation of the clockwise circular legend states, "To the Divine Augusti Caesar and Julia." On the reverse is engraved a prancing horse on the right (on some examples, on the left). The translation of the clockwise circular inscription reads, "Of King Artaxias, son of Polemon and Pythodoris."
Additionally, there are some genuine early imitations with the Armenian tiara and prancing horse, but these coins lack the name of King Artaxias III.
The discovery of this bronze coin attributed to Artaxias III adds another piece to the series of Armenian numismatic history. However, the exact authorship of the early imitations mentioned remains unknown.

The memoirs of Mihran Khachadurian, a volunteer of the Armenian Separate Military Strike Force, shed light on the corps commanded by General Antranig. The document elaborates on the fights and battles the corps had in south-western Armenia on the borders with Iran and Turkey during April 1918. These encounters made Antranig unable to contribute to the Armenian war efforts at the pivotal battles of Sardarabad and Bash Abaran in May 1918.
The memoirs add further details about the human character and military abilities of the general, and the fame and popularity he had throughout the Armenian nation, as well as his organizational skills, military shrewdness, sympathy for law and justice, patriotism, and sense of responsibility.

On 22–23 September 1999, the first Pan-Armenian Armenia-Diaspora Conference, which aimed to build a qualitatively new level of Armenia-Diaspora relations, organize solid cooperation in accordance with modern requirements, discuss joint Pan-Armenian issues, and outline their resolutions, was held in Yerevan.
Over 1,200 representatives from 50 countries participated in the conference. There were about 70 speeches, mainly related to politics, economy, and culture.
Among the key speakers were President Robert Kocharyan and Prime Minister Vazgen Sargsyan. The main issues discussed related to the recognition and condemnation of the Armenian Genocide, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and the economic development of Armenia.
The article underlines the importance of the issues raised and briefly analyzes the implementation of some of the resolutions. The author notes that some of the concerns were addressed in due time, others were partly resolved, while certain topics still remain pending and unaddressed due to bureaucratic failures.

By observing the image of the trader in Gumri, its bazaars and supermarkets, the author tries to make sense of the city's urban trade and analyse the trade culture of contemporary Gumri.
The author argues that trade culture is not a mere perception of the economy; it is also a unique bearer of traditional and modern culture. This is explicit in the case of Gumri, the second largest city in the Republic of Armenia and a city that provides a typical reflection of the past reality of Turkish and Iranian empires.
Gumri is a town where modern culture is mixed with trade traditions that came from the Eastern part of Anatolia (Western Armenia, from Kars, Karin-Erzrum). These traditions largely disappeared during Soviet rule but started to resurface after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Two-level phonology, elaborated by S. K. Shahumyan, was an early innovation in the phonological system, which was already rich in different conceptual approaches.
The following features are typical of two-level phonology:
1. The use of the hypothetical-deductive method as a general scientific basis, in contrast to other theories where the inductive method is used.
2. The use of the construct as the notion of scientific abstraction in phonemic analysis, and according to this, the differentiation between the two levels of abstraction — the stage of observation and that of constructs — in contrast with other phoneme theories characterized by a one-level approach.
3. The import of the concept of "linguistic behavior" as a means of phoneme distinction, in contrast with other theories, most of which (even those that prefer the formal side of the phoneme) to some extent take into consideration the meaning-differentiating factor when distinguishing between phonemes.
4. The wholeness: two-stage phonology includes both the segmental and suprasegmental levels of phonemic analysis.
6. (There was a numbering mistake in the original) The succession: the two-stage approach, which lies at the basis of the analysis, is used in succession when analyzing subphonemic, phonemic, and supraphonemic phenomena.
It should be considered that the vulnerable point of two-level phonology is the use of the notion of construct as a scientific abstraction applied to the phoneme and other constituents, which not only deprives them of their linguo-speech bases but also puts into question the appropriateness of their study in general.
