The author draws attention to the ethnonym Musalertsi (son of, native of Musa Ler) its origins, and the reasons why the Musa Ler population called itself such. He analyses the evolution of the ethnonym based on available literary sources.
The paper argues that the self-naming of this Armenian subgroup was a result of the development of an identity during the Genocide years and underlines the importance of this self-naming process.
Furthermore, it discusses how this self-naming proces was mostly related to the public response and events that this subgroup faced during the Genocide, as well as their epic transformation in the memory of this subgroup.
The author examines the different ethnonyms the subgroup gave to itself, like Kistineg (meaning Christian, Christian language). He underlines the fact that not a single source perceived the natives as a unified group, and that only after the defensive fightings were they named Svediatsi (people of Svedia), Sevediahay (Armenians of Svedia). These were transformed into Musalertsi and gained further legitimacy and popularity due to Frants Werfel's novel, The Forty Days of Musa Dagh, published in 1933.

The author highlights a number of words with different spellings in contemporary Western Armenian.
Based on various Western and Eastern Armenian dictionaries, the author speculates why these have different spellings and when they started having diverse spellings. The author anaylses the different spellings of these words based on diverse criteria, like the existence (or non-existence) of similar suffixes/prefixes, shifts of pronunciations of certain letters, or historical changes in the meaning of the word, and suggests a unified/single spelling for each word with an eye to unified spelling with contemporary Eastern Armenian.
The first part of this study was published in the 37th volume of the Haigazian Armenological Review.
Հայաստանից արտագաղթը. իրավիճակի որակական եւ քանակական իրողութիւնները
(2018) Ռուբէն Եգանեան
One of the most critical developments in post-independent Armenia has been the non-stop emigration of its population. Estimates vary on the number of residents of the country who have left. However, at least one million Armenians have emigrated in the last quarter of a century. In proportion to its small population, this has been assessed as a large percentage that menaces the sustainability of the country.
The paper focuses in depth on this topic. It argues that emigration had started long before the country proclaimed independence in 1991. The author notes that already during the pre-independence decades of 1960-1980s an outflow was observed. However this outflow was basically towards the Soviet countries. Besides, it was tiny and did not affect the yearly trend of demographic increase by tens of thousands. The author analyses and qualifies the nature of this outflow and its impact on the demography of Soviet Armenia; this outflow was a seasonal economic migration, and most of the migrants returned to Soviet Armenia with cash that enhanced their living conditions in the country.
The second stage of this migratory trend is considered to be the 1988-1991 period, which is characterised by instability and marked by the 1988 earthquake, the self-determination war of Nagorno Karabagh, the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the proclamation of independence. The author assesses how these factors impacted the demographic shift in the country.
The next stage is considered the massive outflow period (1992-94), when some 980,000 people left the country and some 370,000 came in. The author notes that during the next stage of 1995-2001, some 600,000 emigrated and around 350,000 immigrated.
The period between 2002 and 2018 is considered to be the current stage. The author divides this period into sub-stages, details the demographic shifts and extensively analyses the nature of the migration, the profile of the migrants and their destination as well as both the reasons for and the impact of this outflow. He concludes that unless it is properly addressed, the migratory trend of the population of the Republic of Armenia will have a catastrophic impact on the sustainability of the country.

The study focuses on the winding road of the development of economic relations between the Republic of Armenia and the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was affected by the Karabagh war of self-determination.
It explores the establishment of economic relations between the blockaded Republic and Iran and the active involvement of the Armenian community of Iran in bringing about these relations.
The paper highlights in particular the experience Armenia gained by trading with the Russian Federation and Turkmenistan through the Iranian Enzeli port on the Caspian Sea, undertaking the Iran-Armenia Gas Supply project, establishing an electricty generating plant on the Araxes river, and carrying out the notorious 'junk' metal export from Armenia to Iran.
