culture language literature arts ... art gallery Armenia's culture is unique in many ways. First, it is so much bigger than the nation itself that it overwhelms and dominates all other features of the Armenian ethnic identity. Second, it is very diversified. During its more than 2,000 year-old history, Armenia has gone through so many radical changes in its size and political status, that our culture has been influenced by and has influenced many other cultures. The many wars and other disasters in ancient and recent time tore the country apart and left a deep imprint in its culture. That tragic division had some positive consequences too, for instance, post-mediaeval Armenian literature has two different traditions, Western Armenian and Eastern Armenian, which being a part of a original literary heritage, have their own distinct linguistic and stylistic properties. Other important characteristics of Armenian culture are its permanence and longevity. Throughout its history, Armenia resisted invasion and absorption, relaying through its art one of the most beautiful manifestations of its identity.

Culture Armenia Table of Contents The international Armenian community remains loyal to strong cultural traditions, many of which have enriched the societies into which Armenians emigrated. Cultural tradition has been a means of maintaining a sense of national unity among widely dispersed groups of Armenians. Literature and the Arts The Armenians became active in literature and many art forms at a very early point in their civilization. Urartian metalworking and architecture have been traced back to about 1000 B.C. The beginning of truly national art is usually fixed at the onset of the Christian era. The three great artistic periods coincided with times of independence or semi-independence: from the fifth to the seventh century; the Bagratid golden age of the ninth and tenth centuries; and the era of the kingdom of Lesser Armenia in the twelfth to fourteenth centuries. Of especially high quality in the earlier periods were work in gold and bronze, as well as temples, military fortifications, and aqueducts. In the early Christian era, classical church architecture was adapted in a series of cathedrals. The circular domes typical of Armenian churches were copied in Western Europe and in Ottoman Turkey. The best example of the distinctive architectural sculpture used to adorn such churches is the early tenth-century Church of the Holy Cross on an island in Lake Van. The architecture of contemporary Erevan is distinguished by the use of pinkish tufa stone and a combination of traditional Armenian and Russian styles.

And, finally, when we say, for example, Armenian art, we don't usually mean art from Armenia, more often we refer to art of the Armenian people, who despite being scattered all over the world stubbornly stick to each other, to their traditions, their cultural heritage, their mother tongue.

Armenian culture – in Armenia and in the diaspora Doc. 8855 Octob er Motion for an order presented by Mr Kofod-Svendsen and others This motion has not been discussed in the Assembly and commits only the members who have signed it In 1991 Armenia became an independent, sovereign state. Upon recommendation from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, it is foreseen that Armenia will become a full member of the Council of Europe by the end of 2000. The Armenian people has had a rather tough history, especially the murder of the Armenian people, and its consequences have greatly influenced the self-perception of the Armenian people. In many ways we can compare the Armenian people with the Jewish people: i. both populations have been persecuted through countries because of their faith and their ethnicity; ii. both populations have a homeland and an international diaspora – Armenia is the same size as Israel; iii. both populations have a strong cohesiveness and are not so easily absorbed as other emigrants; iv.

This magnificent Helleno-Romanic style temple was destroyed by an earthquake in 1969 and reconstructed in 1975. Garni is about 30km to the east of Yerevan. The temple, which is much loved by locals and visitors alike, is currently being reconstructed by the Lincy foundation. The wonderful quality of its architecture will touch you deeply.

Aghpyur Children’s Journal , published in Yerevan, Armenia, has long played a key part in the lives of Armenia’s children. The colorful publication has been a close friend of students, offering advice, encouraging creative use of their minds, and helping inspire a love for their homeland. Its pages feature stories, poetry, drawings, and commentary contributed by children of all ages, as well as writing by professional writers who write for children. The editor-in-chief is Tadevos Tonoyan, a poet and lecturer with a doctorate in Armenian literature. “My purpose is to get the journal printed, and to educate and advance the children of Armenia,” Tonoyan says. “We want to have Armenian culture and the culture of the world presented to children here. For this reason, much work is translated for Aghpyur . Times are difficult, but there are still many talented children who deserve to have their work presented to others, so they don’t lose hope. They need to know they are not alone, and that others are with them in these difficult times.” Aghpyur is currently funded by the Armenian government. Due to ongoing constraints, the journal is often short of money to print. Tonoyan has long stressed the importance of setting up a separate fund dedicated to ensuring timely publication of the monthly magazine. Citing

The Armenian State Philaharmonic has invited the Washington, DC-based troupe to appear at the National Opera and Ballet Theatre in Yerevan on August 6 and 7, 2004. The company of 16 will present two programs of mixed repertoire featuring works by contemporary American choreographers as well as recent works by Artistic Director Roudolf Kharatian. The Philharmonic, which is the successor to Armenia’s Armconcert, will host the company for a one-week stay in Armenia, covering expenses in Armenia for the touring company, including lodging, meals, in-country transportation, rehearsal space and all performance-related PR and marketing. The tentative schedule even includes a little sightseeing! ARKA Ballet is now frantically working on air travel arrangements for which it has launched an aggressive PR campaign. Upcoming events to watch for include a pre-trip ‘preview gala’ at the American Dance Institute on June 12, as well as an art exhibit May 21 to June 21, 2004. ARKA Ballet was founded by Roudolf Kharatian and launched at the Kennedy Center in 1999. Since then, the company has performed at many venues throughout the Washington, DC area including the Kennedy Center, the Lisner Auditorium, and the Kay Theatre. In 2001, ARKA Ballet was commissioned by the Diocese of the Armenian Church to create two ballets based on key moments in Armenia’s Christian history. The two works, Vartanank, to the music of Edgar Hovanessian, and St. Gregory’s Prayer, to the music of Alan Hovaness, were premiered in New York during the 1700th Anniversary Celebrations in Central Park.

40. Armenian Culture Was increasing the influence of Roman culture on the culture of armenia. Araband Turk occupations partly destroyed the culture of armenia. http://www.grida.no/enrin/htmls/armenia/soe_armenia/english/countrv/culture.htm

ERMC/AUA. : State of the Environment Armenia Armenian Culture Armenian culture in beginning of development of Armenians as a folk had a strong influence of Shoumer and Accadian cultures. Probably this influenced on development of fine arts, cuneiform, even language of first Armenians. It had a great influence of Assyrian and Babylonian cultures. We know, that people that time could build beautiful towns, they mastered many crafts, including processing of metal (iron, bronze). Urartian people had a very large pantheon and myths, but none of them is known now. Armenian pantheon was alike Hellenistic. From material culture of that time are known a pagan church in Garni (1st century before our era), were found many golden coins, monuments, etc. During the epoch of Tigran II the Great Hellenistic culture spreads in Armenia. It influenced on architecture, literature, music, theater. Though theater was not a new thing for Armenians: they had a primitive folk theater, but Hellenistic culture brought tragedies and comedies of Greek authors, and Greek actors showed them to Armenian kings and noblemen. Armenians also began to write dramas to be shown in theater. Were created not only dramatic, but also historical and philosophical works. All the literature of that period was on Greek language. Many Armenian princes were educated in Greece. Was increasing the influence of Roman culture on the culture of Armenia. Armenian Christian culture brought with her new music, literature, architecture. Theater was forbidden. Literature began to develop Christian way: the main themes were the problems of God and a human being. Were built beautiful churches, and some of them are stood till our days. Appeared a need in a native alphabet, and it was created in 405 by Mesrop Mashtots. Began the development of historiography; were created such works as "History of Armenia till Our Days" (middle of 5th century). Generally it is possible to say that the 5th century became the "Golden century" for Armenian Christian culture. As an event of Armenian Christian culture we can consider khachkars- cross- stones (big stones with crosses on them, made very accurately). Khachkars are found only in Armenia and nowhere else.
