Armenia Transformed Areshian63019
Abstract: The sociopolitical events that took place in the Republic of Armenia in April 2018 under the name of “Velvet Revolution” were the outcome of the “Gharabagh Regime” that lasted with all its major achievements and dramatic shortfalls for 27 years, from 1988 to 2018. The presentation will give a critical overview of these processes, which will be derived from the foundational principle that, history is the single important litmus test for political theories and peoples’ beliefs and actions. The phenomenon characterizes the current timespan in its spontaneous rise of attempts at sociopolitical innovativeness and opportunism in Armenia, that stands in a refreshing contrast to the political dogmatism dominating “Western” and “Non-Western” worldviews and politics.
Dr. Gregory Areshian is a Foreign Member of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia (RoA). He received his Ph.D. from Saint Petersburg and taught courses in history, archaeology, and anthropology in the Universities of Chicago, Wisconsin, UC Los Angeles, UC Irvine, and Yerevan State. He has also directed/participated in archaeological and anthropological fieldwork in Armenia, Georgia, Syria, Egypt, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkey. He has authored over 160 scholarly works ranging from Late Prehistory to World War I, comparative mythologies, social and ethnic identities, history of ancient art, and imperialism, published in 5 languages in 12 countries. Dr. Areshian has established the Center for Archaeological Research at Yerevan State University, served as Minister of State/Deputy Prime Minister in the RoA, as well as served in administrative positions in the USA and Armenia. Gregory is currently teaching at the American University of Armenia as Professor of History and Archaeology, in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, the most favored of which is the interrelations between History and Political Science.
藝苑掇英 Martiros Sarian 馬丁羅斯·撒里安 (1880-1972) Realism Symbolism Armenians
tonykwk39@gmail.com
Martiros Saryan (Armenian: Մարտիրոս Սարյան; Russian: Мартиро́с Сарья́н; 28 February [O.S. 16 February] 1880 – 5 May 1972) was an Armenian painter, the founder of a modern Armenian national school of painting.
He was born into an Armenian family in Nakhichevan-on-Don (now part of Rostov-on-Don, Russia). In 1895, aged 15, he completed the Nakhichevan school and from 1897 to 1904 studied at the Moscow School of Arts, including in the workshops of Valentin Serov and Konstantin Korovin. He was heavily influenced by the work of Paul Gauguin and Henri Matisse. He exhibited his works in various shows. He had works shown at the Blue Rose Exhibit in Moscow.
He first visited Armenia, then part of the Russian Empire, in 1901, visiting Lori, Shirak, Echmiadzin, Haghpat, Sanahin, Yerevan and Sevan. He composed his first landscapes depicting Armenia: Makravank, 1902; Aragats, 1902; Buffalo. Sevan, 1903; Evening in the Garden, 1903; In the Armenian village, 1903, etc., which were highly praised in the Moscow press.
From 1910 to 1913 he traveled extensively in Turkey, Egypt and Iran. In 1915 he went to Echmiadzin to help refugees who had fled from the Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire. In 1916 he traveled to Tiflis (now Tbilisi) where he married Lusik Agayan. It was there that he helped organise the Society of Armenian Artists.
After the Bolshevik seizure of power in 1917 he went with his family to live in Russia. In 1921 they moved to Armenia. While most of his work reflected the Armenian landscape, he also designed the coat of arms for Armenian SSR and designed the curtain for the first Armenian state theatre.
From 1926–1928 he lived and worked in Paris, but most works from this period were destroyed in a fire on board the boat on which he returned to the Soviet Union. From 1928 until his death, Saryan lived in Soviet Armenia.
In the difficult years of the 1930s, he mainly devoted himself again to landscape painting, as well as portraits. He also was chosen as a deputy to the USSR Supreme Soviet and was awarded the Order of Lenin three times and other awards and medals. He was a member of the USSR Art Academy (1974) and Armenian Academy of Sciences (1956).
Saryan died in Yerevan on 5 May 1972. His former home in Yerevan is now a museum dedicated to his work with hundreds of items on display. He was buried in Yerevan at the Pantheon next to Komitas Vardapet.
His great-granddaughter Mariam Petrosyan is also a painter, as well as cartoonist and award-winning novelist.

1917年布爾什維克奪取政權後，他和家人一起住在俄羅斯。他們於1921年移居亞美尼亞。他的大部分作品反映了亞美尼亞風景，同時他為亞美尼亞的SSR設計了徽章，並為第一個亞美尼亞國家劇院設計了幕布。
從1926年到1928年，他在巴黎生活和工作，但是這個時期的大部分作品都是在他回到蘇聯的船上的火上被燒毀的。從1928年直到他去世，Saryan住在蘇聯亞美尼亞。
在二十世紀三十年代的困難時期，他主要再次投身於山水畫和肖像畫。他還被選為蘇聯最高蘇維埃的代表，三次被授予列寧勳章等獎項和獎牌。他曾是蘇聯藝術學院（1974年）和亞美尼亞科學院院士（1956年）的成員。

Where does sexism start? | Ani Samsonyan | TEDxMoskovyanStSalon
Being an active politician Ani has been criticized a lot, being referred to her age, gender, and even her hair color. She does not suggest to fight against sexism. But clarifies her point, mentioning that people should not be judged for the way they look or for who they are born, but rather by the way they decide to use the power and the authority they have been given. Ani Samsonyan graduated from the Department of Journalism of the Faculty of Culture of the Khachatur Abovyan Armenian State Pedagogical University. She continued her education in the International Relations Department of the International Scientific-Educational Center of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) of Armenia.
Samsonyan is a founding member of the “Bright Armenia” initiative, then the “Bright Armenia” party, press secretary of the party. On December 9, 2018 she was elected as aMember of the National Assembly from the national electoral list of the “Bright Armenia” party. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at

Pierre-Marie Robitaille, Ph.D., is a professor of radiology at The Ohio State University. He also holds an appointment in the Chemical Physics Program. In 1998, he led the design and assembly of the world’s first Ultra High Field MRI System. This brought on the need to question fundamental aspects of thermal physics, including ideas related to Kirchhoff’s Law of thermal emission, and more.
