Les Arméniens peuvent-ils subsister en tant que nation globale, alors que leur patrie est mal en point ?*
Par Hratch Tchilingirian
Ces dernières années, un nouveau discours sur les « Arméniens globaux » a fait son apparition, avec l'intention de construire une identité arménienne post-génocide dans la diaspora et en Arménie. Cette nouvelle identité se veut être un vecteur permettant de passer de la « mentalité de survie » à la célébration de la vie et du succès. Dans une lettre
In recent years a new discourse on “global Armenians” is increasingly becoming part of an effort of constructing a post-Genocide Armenian identity in the Diaspora — and Armenia. These new identity shapers seem to advocate a transition from “survival mentality” to celebration of life and success. One definition was provided in a full-page letter

The election process of a new Armenian Patriarch in Turkey faces the customary state-imposed restrictions, administrative hurdles and arbitrary treatment of the Armenian community. In recent weeks, the situation has been exacerbated by personality clashes and ambitions of the high ranking clergymen at the Patriarchate, who have turned a problem into a divisive major crisis.

Since the establishment of the Turkish Republic, state discrimination against the Armenian community—and generally the non-Muslim minorities—has been institutionalized and systematically used towards the detriment of the target community. This article provides a discussion of these issues and the processes of state and societal ‘othering’ of the Armenians in Turkey, with a particular focus on the impact of such policies and public discourses on the current situation of the community. It then provides an analysis of the internal dynamics of the Armenian community itself. The discussion highlights several sociological concepts that are useful to the understanding and analysis of the Turkish state’s and society’s treatment of the Armenians in Turkey today—or what the economists would call the stresses and distortions in the system.
Dr. Hratch Tchilingirian, a scholar and lecturer at the Oriental Institute of the University of Oxford - specializing in Eastern Christianity and Armenian Studies - spoke to CivilNet about the current Armenia-Diaspora relations.

l’Eglise Arménienne, en tant qu’institution religieuse, a été affectée à des fonctions « laïques » ou civiles pour « conduire la nation », alors que le clergé était devenu un agent et un médiateur mandatés par l’Etat entre les dirigeants, les gouvernements et les intérêts politiques. Dans le même temps, la société arménienne, en Arménie comme dans la diaspora, avait traversé un processus de sécularisation du fait d’un rationalisme et d’une modernité émergents, ce qui s’est traduit par le capitalisme, l’industrialisation et l’Etat-Nation. Ces développements historiques ont conduit l’Eglise arménienne à une sécularisation.

Canonisation of the Genocide Victims: What is the meaning of their sainthood?*
By Dr Hratch Tchilingirian
On the 75th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, in a joint Communiqué issued on April 29, 1989 for the occasion, Their Holiness Vazken I Catholicos of All Armenians and Karekin II Catholicos of Cilicia "propose[d] that the preparatory activities continue for the canonisation of [the Genocide] victims." Indeed, the idea of religious commemoration of the Genocide victims goes back to the early years of the First Republic of Armenia (1918-1920), when the Armenian Government at the time formally applied to Catholicos Gevorg V to include the martyrs in the liturgical calendar of the

Another Successful Armenian Street Festival
The Fifth Armenian Street Festival was held on Sunday, 19th July, on the grounds of St. Sarkis Church in Iverna Gardens, Kensington. The beautiful sunny morning started with celebration of the Divine Liturgy, Badarak, followed by the traditional process of Antasdan, the service of the blessing of the four corners of the world.
At the formal opening of the Street Festival, Dr Hratch Tchilingirian welcomed everyone on behalf of the Armenian Church of St Sarkis and the Diocese of the Armenian Church of the United Kingdom and Ireland, and then introduced the new Primate. “On this gloriously bright day, we also have a special occasion to celebrate: the beginning of the tenure of our new Primate, His Brace Bishop Hovakim Manukyan, who formally started his mission a week ago.” Dr Tchilingirian highlighted the new Primate’s qualities and underlined: “Bishop Hovakim brings with him the warmest spirit of ....
