Historical Dictionary of Armenia
There are two Armenias: the current Republic of Armenia and historic Armenia. The modern state dates from the early 20th century. Historic Armenia was part of the ancient world and expired in the Middle Ages. Its people, however, survived, and from its residue recreated a new country. The history of the Armenians is the story of how an ancient people endured into modern times and how its culture evolved from one conceived under the influence of Mesopotamia to one redefined by the civilization of Europe. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Armenia relates the turbulent past of this persistent country through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 200 cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, events, places, organizations, and other aspects of Armenian history from the earliest times to the present.

Histoire du peuple arménien
" Vieille nation, mais jeune Etat ", le peuple arménien, vieux de trois millénaires, a vu son indépendance restaurée en 1991 à la suite de l'implosion de l'Union soviétique. Jusqu'au XIVe siècle, dans la région montagneuse à laquelle ils ont donné leur nom et en Cilicie, leur deuxième foyer, les Arméniens se sont acharnés à défendre leur liberté contre leurs adversaires venus de l'est et de l'ouest. Privés d'Etat (mais non d'autonomies locales) pendant plus de cinq cents ans, ils ont au moins su maintenir leur identité confessionnelle et culturelle, grâce à une religion officielle, le christianisme, et à un alphabet spécifique qui garantit la pérennité de leur langue....
