The Armenian Department of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, in collaboration with the Digital Library of Armenian Literature of the American University of Armenia, is pleased to announce that the printed core legacy of Hagop Oshagan, one of the giants of Western Armenian literature, is now fully available online in an open and free format.

This collaboration aims to keep pace with the digital and technological world, taking into account the need for accessibility. One of the main goals of the project is to make this wealth and collective heritage available to everyone in a free and online format, ensuring its accessibility and affordability, while at the same time contributing to its preservation, dissemination, and transmission to future generations.

Thanks to this project, more than thirty books by Hagop Oshagan have been digitized, including Hamapatker Arevmtahay Kraganutyan (Panorama of Western Armenian Literature) in all its volumes, Zugakshir Arevelahay yev Arevmtahay Kraganutyan (Parallel of Eastern and Western Armenian Literatures), Khonarhner (The Humble Ones), Angghin Gtsootsin Dak (Under the Vulture’s Beak), and more. All materials have been digitized not only by scanning but also in a text-searchable format, allowing searches within the text.

All materials are available on the website of the Digital Library of Armenian Literature at: https://digilib.aua.am/am/ՅԱԿՈԲ ՕՇԱԿԱՆ/library/553

New Cross Consecrated at Karmir Vank in the Neutral Zone of Haykadzor, a Border Village with Turkey (Photo) — Shirak Governor Nazeli Baghdasaryan, along with representatives of the regional administration and the acting head of the Ani community, Arman Saribekyan, attended on 21 January the consecration ceremony of a new cross at Karmir Vank, the Church of St. Gregory the Illuminator, located in the neutral zone of Haykadzor, a village bordering Turkey. The cross was consecrated by the head of the Shirak Diocese, Archbishop Mikayel Ajapahyan, after which it was placed on the dome of the monastery through the efforts of the residents of Haykadzor. The church had been deprived of its cross in 2015 due to strong winds. The dome and cross of the church, which has endured many trials but remained standing, had been damaged in the 1990s, during the years of independence, when Turkey had already closed the border with Armenia. According to records, the initiator of the church’s construction was Bishop Sargis, the head of Horomos Monastery. It was built by the architect Samehan between 980 and 985.
