The report relates to the history of the (re)creation and activities of the Odzun diocese in the last quarter of the 18th century. It also explores certain prior, as well as subsequent, occurrences and circumstances and other directly related issues.
The Odzun diocese was (re)created, with an appointed supervising bishop, upon the order of Lucas I Karnetsi, Catholicos of all Armenians (1780-1799), and authorized by the encyclical of January 21, 1782 of king Irakli of Georgia. The encyclical also stated the names of the 23 villages allotted as monastic property.
We present in brief the circumstances that surrounded the creation of the encyclical. We also expand upon the location of the above-mentioned 23 villages (Hakvi, Amoj, Odzun, Artvi, Mghard, Ighahat, Karinj, marts, Betark, Kolakiran, Artakan [?], Vardablur, Ktevan, Kurta, Jekrashen, Chiniakarak, Achkohan, Lejan, Koghes, Yeghitank, Darmanatagh, Agheki and Tzater) and their historical and architectural monuments, as well as upon a number of other related issues.

The development of economic ties and the promotion of cooperation between the Republic of Armenia and the Islamic Republic of Iran in various fields stems from the two sides' strategic, political and economic interests. This political direction has a vital importance, if we take into consideration the geopolitical and strategic situation and the region in which the RA and the IRI are located.
The deepening of cooperation between Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan in the post-Soviet era, in the 2000's and today has a certain impact on developments in the South Caucasus. All this in turn affects the national security of the Republic of Armenia. The form of the three neighboring states' cooperation in the region excludes only Armenia, as a result of which Armenian interests are ignored in the South Caucasus. Under these conditions, Iran's policy towards Armenia obtains special importance.
The article presents issues related to the beginning of new Iranian investments in the Republic of Armenia as well as new spheres of cooperation between provinces of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the regions of the Republic of Armenia. Also discussed are prospective directions of bilateral development.

Having clerics in national armies is not usual. In fact, the US, UK, French, Greek, Czeck, Danish and Norwegian armies have among their rank and file a number of clerics who provide spiritual guidance to all those who wish it. In fact, the presence of clerics in the army has been recognized internationally, and even their rights as POWs are clearly specified, particularly in the Third Geneva Convention.
The Armenian national army is not an exception in this regard. Clerical services were introduced in the Armenian army in 1997. Currently there are over 70 clerics who provide Christian guidance to the servicemen.
The author outlines the history of the inclusion of clerics in the national army of Armenia, the adoption of legislation which enabled their official presence there, and the socio-spiritual mission they carry out.

Հայոց Ցեղասպանութեան եւ Հայկական հարցի թեմաներով 2008-18ին Թուրքիայի մտաւորականների ուսումնասիրութիւնները

The author focuses on books dedicated to topics which were previously considered to be taboos, like the Armenian Genocide, the Armenian Question, Islamized Armenians and the Emvale Metruke, published in Turkey between 2008 and 2018.
The author explains that the reason for this tolerance was the negotiations which were supposed to eventually lead to Turkey’s membership in the EU. She notes that after the Turkish-Armenian rapprochement initiated by Turkish-Armenian Football diplomacy in 2008 and the signing of the Turkish-Armenian protocols in October 2009 in Zurich, the Ermeni Acilimi, “Armenian initiative,” which triggered a relatively tolerant contemporary Armenian discourse in Turkey, was started.
Thus, between 2008 and 2018 the Armenian Genocide, the Armenian Question and a set of relevant topics became the subject of a significant number of research and literary books published in Turkey. The author notes, however that in the last two years researchers and writers living in Turkey have avoided publishing such books due to the aftermath of the failed coup attempt in July 2016. Indeed, the extraordinary measures imposed on the country have led to the curtailment of freedom of speech and several other human rights, in turn leading to the closure of news agencies with relatively free expression and the persecution of a number of researchers, writers, journalists and pamphleteers.
Having said this, one should stress as well that during the said decade the traditional denialist policy of the state and Turkish official historiography continued unabated.
