    Ակնարկ Պատերազմի Օրերու Հալէպահայ Գրականութեան (2012էն Այսօր)
    (2018) Yeramian, Marush
    Notwithstanding the fact that the Syrian crisis is having a very strong impact on Aleppine Armenian daily community life, the local leadership as well as social and volunteer groups are involved in a daily effort to maintain a flow of life-as-usual. The paper highlights Aleppine literature which can be given this status of "life-as-usual". Aleppine daily literature has started to reflect war in general and the daily fighting through poetry, short stories, diaries, essays, etc. Alongside the usual means of publishing materials, namely newspapers, books, etc., the internet and Facebook have been instrumental in giving broad exposure to Aleppine Armenian literature.

    Ակնարկ Վերջին Տասնամեակի Հալէպահայ Բանաստեղծութեան

    The paper focuses on the sinuous road Aleppene Armenian poetry has taken lately. It is said that Aleppo gives birth to writers but cannot keep them, because these fly away to other Armenian destinations at the first chance. In recent decades, however, right before the Syrian crisis, the young generation stayed in the city due to the relative stability of the country. This was conductive to the development of a small group of young authors trying to give shape to Armenian-Aleppene literature. The group used the literary pages of the Prelacy Kantsasar weekly, which is still functioning. Later on a broader group of upcoming and well-established authors gathered around a yearbook, Yert, which included both literary works and translations as well as research. Some Aleppene Armenian authors published their books themselves; others made use of the Cilicia Catholicosate-based Kevork Melidinetsi Literary prize, which published a number of their books.
