Abstract
The author maintains that the loss of statehood or its weakening is always accompanied by socio-political, economic and other shocks, which in turn make the spiritual sphere vulnerable, and directly lead to complicated issues of the security of the spiritual space of the nation.
In this article Ivanov depicts the sociopolitical conditions prevailing in the Armenia proper and Cilicia during the late period of the crusaders. The area witnessed the Mongol invasions and the eventual establishment of the Mongol Ilkhanate, the fall of the Zaccharids in Armenia proper and the attacks of the Egyptian sultanate on Cilicia.
Against the backdrop of this political turmoil, Ivanov narrates the attempts made by the Papal See at converting the Armenians to Catholicism and bringing the Armenian Apostolic church under the leadership of Rome.
The author highlights the diverse factors and actors that supported the unification attempts. However, most of the clerics of Armenia proper opposed the attempt. Likewise, most of the ordinary Armenian inhabitants of Cilicia opposed it. Their actions destabilized the kingdom of Cilicia and forced king Oshin and Catholicos Constantine in the council of Sis in 1361 to call off the process of unification.
