Komitas’s Sacred Harmony Before the Silence, the Last Liturgy
Hratch Tchilingirian | 24 April 2025
During the chaos of World War I in Constantinople, Komitas Vardapet began composing a version of the Armenian Divine Liturgy (Badarak) for a male choir. Due to military exemptions for some educators and church servants, including a few from the Armenian Church in Galata (Istanbul neighborhood), Komitas gathered a group of about 25–30 young men and worked intensely—sometimes day and night—to train them and compose the choral arrangements, carefully crafting each voice part as its own unique melody....

Hratch Tchilingirian (2021) "Nagorno-Karabakh: War Fails to Resolve the Conflict", The Cambridge Journal of Law, Politics, and Art (CJLPA), Issue 1, Summer 2021: 398-400.
Imagine Boris Johnson ordering the bombing of Edinburgh because the Scots voted for independence in a referendum, or the British Government declaring war against Northern Ireland because it wished to join the Republic of Ireland. Unlike the political dialogue and the search for legal remedies that dissatisfied nations of the United Kingdom utilise to resolve their conflicts, the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh, who have been natives of the territory for centuries, have been the target of years of demonisation in Azerbaijan for voting for independence in 1991 as the Soviet Union was collapsing.

The instrumentalization of religion—especially Islam by Azerbaijan in foreign relations—in the nonreligious Nagorno Karabakh conflict could further deepen the differences among the parties in the conflict and in the region, and make a final resolution and reconciliation even more difficult.
