The small village of Akhts at the Southern slopes of Mount Aragats in Armenia preserves the ruins of an extremely interesting temple-sepulchral complex. Its oldest part is the mausoleum of Armenian rulers, mentioned in several historical texts, e.g. in Buzandaran Patmutiwnk (IV 24), or by Moses Khorenats’i (III 27). The complex was erected no later than by the sixth decade of the 4th century; after the year 364, a three-aisled basilica was added to the mausoleum. Both the architecture and the relief decoration have been analysed on numerous occasions (e.g. A. Khatchatrian, or F. Gandolfo, among others).The aspect which still requires a closer analysis, however, is the interpretation of one of the scenes carved on the stone slab closing the Southern arcosolium of the mausoleum (Fig. 10 and 12). The figure of a man fighting a wild boar has been traditionally interpreted as a representation of a hunter or, in the astral-mythic context, as one of the legendary ancestors of the Armenians, Ara the Beautiful (L.A. Dumovo) or Haik-Orion (B.N. Arakeljan). The scene, however, can be also interpreted as a symbolic allusion to the Chris- tianising of Armenia at the beginning of the 4th century. Both the representation of the wild boar, and the figure of the hunter/Ara/Haik can be seen as the same person, king Tiridates III, in two stages of his life: before and after Christianisation. The king’s story has been vividly recounted by Agathangelos. Initially, the ruler was a zealous persecutor of Christians. As a punishment, he was afflicted with lycantrophy: he believed he had been tumed into a wild boar. The only way to recover was to adopt Christianity, which the king did, turning this time into an eąually zealous persecutor of pagans. Therefore, the stone slab in Akhts may represent Tiridates- the Christian fighting his earlier, pagan avatar.

The travel accounts of Simeon of Poland, an Armenian deacon from Lviv, represent one of the most important works of modern Armenian literature. The work does not just record his journey to the Ottoman Empire in the years 1608–1618, but also frequently very detailed and lively description of the life there, during which the author primarily focuses on the everyday life of the Christian minorities. This travel journal is even supplemented at the end with several period colophons that illustrate the situation in Lviv and its close surroundings in the period between the 1620s and 1630s. The article is derived from textual analysis of the primary source, which was written in one of the forms of medieval Armenian. The events included in it are compared with other primary sources from the same period that originated in the region of Central and Eastern Anatolia (particularly from Armenian chroniclers of the so-called Bitlis School). There is particular emphasis placed on analysis of the conditions affecting the members of the Armenian apostolic community in that period as well as descriptions of their everyday lives and relations with their neighbors.

In the paper the author discusses the issues related to the persecution of Jehovah’s Witnesses by the authorities of the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian Apostolic Church, which enjoys the status of the national church. In Armenia Jehovah’s Witnesses are commonly perceived as a „particularly negative sect”. Due to their refusal to perform military service (which is important in the situation of the still not resolved conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh) they are treated as traitors to their own nation. The registration application of Jehovah’s Witnesses was rejected by the authorities fifteen times and despite the & nal success with the registration they still face numerous obstacles which makes it hard to exercise their faith openly. The author’s intention is to raise awareness to the fact that Armenians still demonstrate a negative attitude to all religious minorities, as the re{ ection of the generally prevailing „fear of strangers”. The actions of local TV channels broadcasting current affairs programs in which minorities are shown as enemies to the country and the national unity, can also be blames. Social attitudes explicitly indicate that for Armenians religious diversity constitutes a threat to the ethnic unity. Papers devoted to the freedom of religion published before 2015 show that Jehovah’s Witnesses were the ones particularly persecuted. The blame for such a situation lies to a large extent with the clergy of the Armenian Apostolic Church who encourage locals to defend the national church. The issue of religious minorities is also used in the political struggle. According to some leading Armenian politicians Jehovah’s Witnesses run the policy which is most destructive for Armenia. The blame for the spread of sects in Armenia is put on Western European countries and the United States of America which are believed to & nance sects with the intention to destroy all Orthodox Christian churches that preserve national identity. It is widely believed that America supports sects as it is interested in destabilization of geopolitical situation in the regions close to Russia. The author also tries to find an answer to the question why, despite such unfavorable conditions, Jehovah’s Witnesses in Armenia keep gaining more followers at an increasing rate.

In the case of Armenia the armed conflict concerning territorial claims to Nagorno-Karabakh constitutes the key issue. Developing strong executive authority stemmed from the belief that a strong President will handle the difficult period of political and economic transformation. Recent attempts to increase the parliamentarization of Armenia’s political system represent an effort to shape an officially parliamentary, but actually barely changed system preserving the strong position of the chief of state or another decision-making center.

Das armenische Mónchtum steht im organischen Zusammenhang mit der Geschichte des christiichen Armenien. Zu seiner Entwickiung hat bestimmt der Empfang der Taufe vom Kónig Tiridates III beigetragen.

The presence of the Kurds in Karabakh, the contemporary Armenian-Azerbaijani borderland, since the beginning of the 18th century was used by great powers in their geopolitical rivalry in the South Caucasus. In the beginning of the 20th century, the Kurdish minority in Karabakh became part of the conflict between Armenian and Azeri nationalists as well as an element in the Soviet policy on nationalities. As a result, the Kurds got an autonomous county within Soviet Azerbaijan. They were indirectly supported by Armenians against the Azeris and finally assimilated by the Azerbaijani majority. The article is a short overview of the history of the Kurds in Karabakh and contains an analysis of their role in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. The paper maintains that both Armenians and the Azeris used the Kurds for their own political goals.

The goal behind the Eastern Partnership programme was the development of political, economic, and social links between the European Union and the European states developed in the wake of the breakdown of the USSR (with the exception of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia). The author believes that the goal was achieved in the case of three Transcaucasian countries. On the one hand, EU standards began to be implemented in these countries by the implementation of EU’s acquis communautaire in the law of these states, which allows trade exchange and more extensive economic cooperation along the principles of the EU. On the other hand, in the case of these countries, the EU avoided any declaration concerning their future membership in the EU, which poses a fundamental problem in the relations with the remaining members of the Eastern Partnership programme.
