THE ARMENIAN CHURCH UNDER THE SOVIET REGIME
Book Review
Felix Corley, Religion in the Soviet Union: An Archival Reader. London: Macmillan Press, 1996, 402 pages.
How did the Soviet government deal with religion in the USSR? For many years it has been possible to read the reaction of believers to the Soviet state's attempt to control religious groups. But now Felix Corley's Religion in the Soviet Union: An Archival Reader, for the first time in English, provides a collection of documents that reveal the struggle between religion and the Communist state from the other side. In their own words the bureaucrats debate policy, issue orders and seek to maximize their control over all aspects of religious life. Using KGB, Central Committee, Council for Religious Affairs and local official documents, Felix Corley has built up a picture of how policy was applied to religious questions in many different areas of life—with the unchanging aim of control.

Armenians and A Peace Center In Jerusalem
Hratch Tchilingirain
How absurd a notion it is to con sider having a Peace Center in one of the most war-torm regions of the world. Such has been the response I have often received when pursuing the dreams of the Dormition Abbey/a century old Benedictine Monastry in Jerusalem. However, the more shocking idea seems to be participation of Armenians in this endeavor. While there is foundation for skepticism, the most appropriate answer to such a view seems to be - how is it possible that there not be a Center for Peace in the city of Jerusalem, capital of three monotheistic religions — the City of Peace.

Canonization of the Genocide Victims: Are We Ready?
by Hratch Tchilingirian
This year is the 75th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and it seems that the "preparatory activities" are still continuing... So far the victims of the Genocide have not been canonized. There are several problems with the issue of
canonizing the victims of the Genocide. However, before going into the discussion of these problems, let us briefly define what "canonization" is.1990-01-03 - 330. Armenia and The Vatican

WHAT IS GOOD DEATH?
Issues Related to Death and Dyingby Hratch Tchilingirian
------------------------------------------------
Euthanasia (Greek for "good death"), in general, means "the causing of an easy or painless death to the patient who is
dying of a terminal illness. Death can be induced by the patient himself without the knowledge or cooperation of any
other persons. Or it can be effected by others at the request or with the consent of the patient. In all these cases it is called voluntary euthanasia. If death is induced against the will or without the knowledge of the patient, [it is called]
involuntary euthanasia.11993-03-04 - 332. The End of the Beginning: The Church in Armenia

THE END OF THE BEGINNING
The Church in Armeniaby Hratch Tchilingirian
It is the end of the beginning-the euphoria that began with the freedom and independence of Armenia is over. Instead, hardship, struggle and anxiety have become part of everyday living in Armenia. For better or worse, a new era, a new "world order" has commenced in the history of the Armenian nation.

Recognition or Reconciliation?
Turkish-Armenian relations need untangling
Hratch Tchilingirian
University of CambridgeNinety years after the most catastrophic episode in Armenian history, the Genocide of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire remains the most problematic and determinant factor in Turkish-Armenian relations. For decades, Armenian expectations and demands for recognition by Turkey have been "reciprocated" by official Turkish denial. In recent years, however, the ideas of "reconciliation" and "dialogue" in Turkish-Armenian relations are gaining currency in Turkey. Nevertheless, the issue is not simple, but multi-faceted and complex.
