Dyachronical analysis of levels of word formation in the Old Armenian and Modern Armenian languages shows that certain old Armenian analytic constructions have been transformed into compound words. These, however, have preserved a meaningful plan in the Modern Armenian language, sometimes revealing differences in the semantic plan. The paper examines, through a historical lexicology approach, a set of compound words with the following pattern: noun +verb > verb, and notes that these are the result of a transformation. Transformation, in such cases, is seen as an abstract mechanism of reflection of objective reality, and is characterized by different degrees of abstraction.
Besides, in patterns of analytic constructions, which in Old Armenian exhibit free word combination, the verb base becomes a component of word formation.
Such analytic constructions are:
a) Nominal-verbal structures. In this case nominal-verbal structures have been transformed into compound words like երկիր պագանեմ > երկրպագել, ծունր դնել ծնրադրել //ծնրադրել, ակն ածեմ > ակնածել, խունկ արկանեմ խնկարկել etc.
b) Prepositional structures. In this case prepositional structures have been transformed into compound words, like արկանեմ ի գործ > գործարկել, իւղի արկանեմ > ուղարկել, ի կիր առնում > կիրառել, ի կիր արկանեմ > կիրարկել etc.

According to certain historians, Armenian-Arabic language contacts begun in 4th- 3rd C., when Arab tribes settled in Mesopotamia and interacted with the Armenians of southern Armenia. Armenian-Arabic language and cultural contacts deepened over the centuries, especially during the Middle Ages, when the official language of Cilician Armenia became Middle Armenian.
The paper focuses on these interactions, highlights and discusses the early and late stages of Armenian-Arabic language contacts and the findings of the Armenian linguist Nerses Mkrtchyan concerning Arabic words in Middle Armenian. In this regard, using etymological approaches, the author reviews a number of words in Middle Armenian which have an Arabic origin.

The paper examines the names of plants and fruits in the dialect of Kesab. The origins of most of these nouns are native Armenian words which have been imported to the dialect with historical and partial semantic changes. On rare occasions names which originate from Arabic or Turkish have replaced the Armenian names. As for newly cultivated plants and fruits, they are imported to the dialect using their original names.
The paper analyses as well the formation of compound and ածանցաւոր words and notes that both the formation and secondary ձեւոյթները are derived from and follow the basic patterns of Armenian. Instead of compound words, juxtaposed compound words with attribute vs subject (or determinant vs. determined) and possessor vs. possessed format are more dominant. In this case the constituent words maintain their authenticity while agglutination is not a widespread form. In the case of juxtaposed compound words, names constructed from the names of the animals the plant or fruit resembles constitute the majority.
The paper argues the importance of extensive study of the Kesab greenery from a dialectological perspective. Such a study should include a picture of the plant, its scientific name, a full description, its functions and its presence in popular beliefs and tales.

The paper examines the usage of the root word 'wolf' in naming plants with certain
characteristics and a certain nature.
The author observes that several compound names of plants in the Armenian language are formed with the root word 'wolf. A study of these names indicates that this usage reflects the perception of 'wolf' in folk culture. As a dangerous animal, wolves were associated with negativity, evil spirits, demons and darkness.
Consequently, parasitic plants and those that are not edible and/or poisonous or have an unpleasant odor have the root word 'wolf in their naming. Furthermore, some plants have been likened to some organs of the wolf, to its paws and eyes, for example. Still, other plants which are not edible but deceive the viewer with their similarities to some other edible plant bear compound names with the root word
'wolf.
Interestingly, though mushrooms were not widely used in Armenian traditional food, those which are inedible or poisonous include the root word 'wolf' in their names.

The author mentions a good number of testimonies from Turkish and Armenian sources on the question of consciousness of the Genocide among the Turks of Turkey.He concludes that the Turkish authorities are well aware that the Genocide was perpetrated by the Turkish authorities of 1915. However, for political reasons, they deny the facts and distort them. Among the populace, most of the inhabitants of the eastern provinces of Turkey, Turks or Kurds, are well aware of the Genocide. Some even talk openly, while those living in those parts of Turkey where there were few or no Armenians in 1915 do not know the facts of the Genocide.
However, and particularly since the assassination of Hrant Dink in 2007 in Istanbul, from various internet sources Turks have begaun to learn about the Genocide, which Turkish history books have presented in a distorted manner since the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. This was and is the policy of the official Turkish educational curriculum.
