Abstract:

Shirak Province in the Republic of Armenia is very rich in Paleolithic sites. Since the first discovery of Paleolithic artifacts in the 1930s, chance finds and field investigations by numerous scholars and archaeological expeditions have brought to light several new localities and findspots, among which the open-air site complex at Aghvorik is currently the most prominent. The Paleolithic sites of Shirak are geomorphologically associated with the Ashotsk Plateau in the north, the Shirak Depression and northwestern slopes of Mt. Aragats in the south, and the Akhuryan River gorge in the west. These areas contain several sources of high-quality lithic raw materials, including dacite, obsidian, and flint. The geomorphic and topographic locations of Paleolithic sites relate to phases of Plio-Pleistocene volcanism, glaciations in high elevation uplands, and the lacustrine and alluvial dynamics that formed the paleorelief and paleoenvironment. Lithic artifact assemblages generally present techno-typological characteristics consistent with early and late phases of the Acheulian, as observed at Lower Paleolithic sites in the Armenian Highlands and Southern Caucasus. While currently fewer in number than Lower Paleolithic finds, Middle Paleolithic artifacts obtained from sites in Shirak tend to be better preserved and made mainly of obsidian, while some dacite artifacts have also been documented. Shirak is also rich in paleontological, or zooarchaeological sites that have yielded a range of Pleistocene macro- and micro-faunal remains. While the Paleolithic archaeological, biostratigraphic, and geological records of Shirak have not yet been subject to systematic documentation and synthesis, the area holds great potential for future research to enlarge and complement the database of Pleistocene human occupation and environment in the broader region.

Abstract:

The article is dedicated to the study of tomb materials accidentally discovered during excavations in the Shirak region in recent years. The first is the tomb excavated in the area of Azatan village, which is comparable in structure and materials to the complexes of the first stage of the Early Bronze Age, such as the tombs of Talin and Jrvezh, which date back to the third quarter of the 4th millennium BC. The other partially destroyed tomb is located in Ashotsk, the materials of which belong to the Early Kurgan and Trialeti (Tṙełk‘)-Vanadzor cultures. The materials of Azatan tomb are widening our knowledge of the poorly studied Trialeti-Vanadzor culture in Shirak. Of similar significance is the tomb of Aregnadem belonging to the terminal stage of the Trialeti-Vanadzor culture. Thus, the materials of the above-mentioned tombs complement the source basis for the study of different stages of the Early to Middle Bronze Age in Shirak.

Abstract:

A comparative paleopathological study was conducted in order to discern the general health and way of life of these populations. All the skeletal remains are dated to late antiquity (213 individuals in total, from 6 osteoarchaeological series in the Shirak valley). The study of bone lesions indicated cases of injury and alveolodental disease. The traces of injuries which were noted appear significantly more frequently in males. As for skeletal markers of activity, macrotraumas indicate injuries sustained in battle in some cases (skull lesions). During the course of the research, traces of blows and scraping as well as cutting were identified on the bones. The study of skulls from the Shirak valley demonstrated that some of them have been artificially deformed (fronto-occipital as well as round deformations). Cases of dental calculus, caries, periodontal disease, ulcers, and tooth hypoplasia in these skulls were studied.

Abstract:

Due to salvage actions realised in 2014 by the united expedition of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography and the Regional Museum of Shirak in the administrative district of the village Maisyan (Shirak region), six cist graves and one barrow were studied. The barrow has a cromlech of 14 m diameter, which is built of black stones and repeatedly reinforced using white limestone brought from the nearest hills. In one of two pit-graves opened under the barrow, the skeleton of the deceased was found with three vessels; in the other only vessels were present. Surely, both chambers belonged to the same person. Corresponding parallels are known from Lchashen and other sites dated to the first half of the 16th century BC – the transitional period from the Middle to the Late Bronze Age. In cist graves the burials were done using the rite of decarnation, or reburying, and date to the developed phase of the Iron Age (9th-8th centuries BC).

Abstract:

In the period from 2022 to 2024, work was carried out to study the frequency of leishmaniasis invasion in the dog population of farms in the Shirak, Armavir, Ararat and Syunik marzes (regions) of Armenia. The Quantum GIS (QGIS) program was used to visualize the spread of leishmaniasis data. It was found that in the period from 2022 to 2024, leishmaniasis in the dog population was more often recorded in animals in the farms of the Shirak marz (region), the EI was 97.6% and 57%, respectively. The EI of leishmaniasis in the dog population of farms in the Armavir marz (region) was 92.1% and 30.3%. The EI of leishmaniasis in the dog population of farms in the Ararat marz (region) was 82.1% and 36.6%. The EI of leishmaniasis in the population of dogs of farms of Syunik marz (region) was -65.2% and 52%. Geoinformation systems help specialists of veterinary and sanitary services to systematize and visualize, in the form of digital maps, the spatial data obtained during the work, which makes it possible to develop and improve veterinary and preventive measures to combat leishmaniasis in order to improve the epizootic situation in the region.

Abstract:

The purpose of the research is to study the possibility of using the temperature DDU (dirofilaria development units) model for predicting the spread of dirofilariosis in dogs in various regions of the Republic of Armenia.Materials and methods. To obtain temperature models of dirofilariosis in various regions of Armenia, the method of mathematical modeling was applied. The method for determining the number of generations of Dirofilaria spp. infection is based on the effect of the average daily air temperature on the rate of development of Dirofilaria larvae in mosquitoes with a threshold of 14 °C. For a negative value of DDU, the value is set to zero. At temperatures above the threshold, DDU accumulate. For the development of larvae to the infective stage, an amount of 130 DDU is required. The number of possible generations of one generation of larvae L3 was calculated by dividing the annual sum of temperatures above 14 °C by 130 DDU, taking into account that 130 DDU should accumulate within a period not exceeding 30 days. The calculation uses daily data on the average daily air temperature in the period from 2017 to 2019 for Shirak, Aragatston, Armavir and Ararat regions of Armenia.Results and discussion. Temperature modeling of DDU is not of high significance, since it takes into account only the average daily air temperature and does not take into account other factors affecting the incidence rates. The largest number of generations of larvae in mosquitoes could be realized in the Armavir and Ararat regions – on average, 16 generations per year. At the same time, the infection of dogs with dirofilariae in the Armavir region was 42.8%, and in the Ararat region – 29.6%. In Aragatston region, on average, 14–15 generations are developing per year. Dirofilariosis was not detected in the studied dogs. In the Shirak region, on average, 7–8 generations are developing per year. Dirofilariae infection was detected in 3.6% of the dogs studied. Based on the temperature DDU-model of dirofilariosis (on the dates of the end of the first and last incubation of dirofilariosis larvae in mosquitoes for several years), as well as the results of phenological observations, we have developed schemes for effective prevention of dirofilariosis. In order to organize and conduct veterinary preventive measures to prevent infestation of dogs by dirofilariae, it is necessary to organize two lines of defense. The first line of defense: the use of anthelmintics from the group of macrocyclic lactones in Aragatston, Armavir and Ararat regions, which is carried out monthly, and in the Shirak region - from April to January. The second line of defense is repellant treatment of dogs in the Aragatston, Armavir and Ararat regions from March to November, and in the Shirak region from April to October. The practical application of temperature DDU-models of dirofilariosis allows specialists of veterinary and sanitary services to establish the timing of the epizootic season of dirofilariosis, as well as organize and conduct veterinary preventive and therapeutic measures among the population of dogs in endemically disadvantaged areas of the republic.

Abstract:

Oaths are one of the most widespread and viable formulaic sayings characteristic of the paremic genres of the folklore of the Shirak region. Being one of the most important primary types of magical and applied folklore, the oath has been widely spread in the everyday life of all the peoples of the world since ancient times and continues to exist in various spheres of life to this day. The oath was perceived as a spell word, which was feared and believed not only by Armenians, but also by all the peoples of the world, regardless of the level of their civilization. As in the case of other magical formulas (curse, blessing, good wishes, magical prayers), the genealogical community of the oath is the faith, conditioned by the magical power of the word, relying on which the swearer refers to the shrines, sacred sacraments and objects accepted at all times.The aim of the work is to analyze those beliefs and related ideas that occupy a large place in the oaths of Shirak and are related to the general worldview of the people regarding nature and social life. Շիրակի տարածաշրջանի ժողովրդական բանահյուսության ասույթաբանական ժանրերից, տարածված ու կենսունակ բանաձևային կառույցներից են երդումները: Երդումը,հնուց ի վեր հանդիսանալով հմայական-կիրառական բանահյուսության նախնական կարևոր տեսակներից, տարածված է եղել աշխարհի բոլոր ժողովուրդների կենցաղում և ցայսօր էլ շարունակում է կենցաղավարել կյանքի տարբեր բնագավառներում: Երդումն ընկալվել է իբրև հմայական խոսք, որից զգուշացել և որին հավատացել են ոչ միայն հայերը, այլև աշխարհի բոլոր ժողովուրդները՝անկախ իրենց քաղաքակրթության աստիճանից: Ինչպես հմայական մյուս բանաձևերի (անեծք, օրհնանք, բարեմաղթություն, հմայական աղոթքներ), այնպես էլ երդման ծագումնաբանական ընդհանրությունը հավատքն է` խոսքի հմայական զորությամբ պայմանավորված, որի վրա հենվելով՝ երդվողը վկայակոչում է նվիրական սրբություններն ու առարկաները, որոնք բոլոր ժամանակներում էլ ընդունված են եղել ժողովրդի կողմից։ Աշխատանքի նպատակն է քննել ժողովրդական այն հավատալիքներն ու դրանց հետ կապված պաշտամունքին առնչվող պատկերացումները, որոնք լայն տեղ են գրավում Շիրակի երդումներում և աղերսվում են բնության ու հասարակական կյանքի վերաբերյալ ժողովրդի ունեցած ընդհանուր աշխարհայեցողության հետ: Клятвы являются одним из наиболее распространенных и жизнеспособных формульных изречений, характерных для паремических жанров народного фольклора Ширакского региона. Являясь одним из важнейших первичных видов магически - прикладного фольклора, клятва с древнейших времен получила широкое распространение в быту всех народов мира и по сей день продолжает бытовать в различных сферах жизни. Клятва воспринималась как заклинательное слово, которого остерегались и в которое верили не только армяне, но и все народы мира, независимо от уровня их цивилизации. Как и в случае с другими магическими формулами (проклятие, благословение, благопожелание, магические молитвы), генеалогической общностью клятвы является вера, обусловленная магической силой слова, опираясь на которую клянущийся ссылается на принимаемые во все времена святыни, священные таинства и предметы. Целью работы является анализ тех верований и связанных с ними представлений, которые занимают широкое место в клятвах Ширака и соотносятся с общим мировоззрением народа относительно природы и общественной жизни.

In the paper the main issues of life quality relationship and the settlement is observed. The population life style and its space-time manifestations as components have a systematizing impact on the settlement, significantly causing its functional hierarchy. In the article the settlement as one of the factors causing the territorial differentiation of population life is discussed. On the example of Shirak Marz an attempt to highlight the regional population life quality and to determine their association with the quality and location of settlements is done, as well as the functional structure and place in the settlement system.

Abstract:

Problems of assessment of intrinsic protectability of water-bearing horizons on the pattern of Shirak basin are discussed in the paper. Qualitative assessment of water-table horizon protectability is made on the basis of depth to water table, thickness and permeability of impermeable soil in aeration zone. Quantitative assessment of water-table horizon intrinsic protectability is carried out on tracking time of pollutants to water-table (days). Intrinsic protectability of the first from land surface confined aquifer was made on the basis of overlaid impermeable soil’s thickness and relationship between water table and potentiometric levels. Water-table horizon is evaluated as not protected and poorly protected, confined horizon is assessed as tentatively protected and protected.

Abstract:

In 1920, the operations of Kemalist troops in the Pambak area until the outlined “neutral zone” of the Turkish-Armenian troops were true genocidal action, similar to the genocide implemented by Young Turks in the Western Armenia. Not only had the local residents fell victim to the Turkish sword, but also thousands of exiled from Kars province and refugees from Shirak. The article is largely based on the reproduction of the memories of eyewitnesses and their descendants. Ethnographic research, collection of oral accounts, land clearing works and observations, as well as archival studies have been carried out. The studies demonstrate the process of actions, the forms of organizing the massacres and the pursued goals of the genocidal acts of the Kemalists against the peaceful Armenian population.

Abstract:

AbstractWalled fortresses set atop rock outcrops and hills are the dominant settlement type documented in archaeological investigations of late second/early first millennium B.C. southern Transcaucasia. These sites arose as centers of the emerging complex polities in the region, marking not only the expansion of social inequalities but the formalization of a governmental apparatus. However, there have been few systematic attempts to understand the morphology of Late Bronze/Early Iron Age fortresses and assess dimensions of formal variation. This article proposes a typology of these early southern Transcaucasian fortresses based upon qualitative dimensions of a corpus of fortress sites from the Ararat and Shirak plains of the Republic of Armenia. Variation in these qualitative dimensions is then assessed in reference to quantitative elements of settlement.

Abstract:

The article on the history of the Pambak Sultanate, which existed in the system of feudal fragmented Azerbaijan in the second half of the 18th century, examines the territory, population, language, ruling dynasties of the Muslim feudal domain. The materials of the analysis indicate that the territory of the sultanate belonged to the Oghuz Turks. The territory of the sultanate covered a number of regions of present-day Armenia: Karakilisa(Kirovokancity, Gugargregion), Jalalogly(Stepanavan), Khamamli(Spitak) and part of Gyumri(Leninakan).The capital of the Sultanate was the city Karakilisa. Ananalysis of historical facts, documentary sources, historical research, as well as the names of toponyms and ethnonyms, made it possible to establish that a mixed Christian-Muslim population lived on the territory of the Pambak Sultanate with an absolute majority of Turks. The language of communication was the Turkic language. The Christian population was represented by the descendants of Albanian Christians.

Abstract:

Teaching poetry requires lecturers to use a variety of strategies, techniques and tools to support students in the process of studying, and one of the most widely used strategies is questioning. Methodological studies conducted by many pedagogues have mirrored the positive effects of questioning in the learning process. Questioning develops students critical thinking and creative thinking. The aim of the paper is to implement ‘questioning’ as a tool of teaching English poetry. Questioning opens the doors and the Armenian students can read and understand poetry both in horizontal and vertical contexts. The information presented in this paper has been collected through the course of teaching ‘English literature’ at State University of Shirak, RA. In relation to results, the majority of students recognize and emphasize the positive impact of adequately applying questioning in teaching English poetry. This tool enhances students’ reading and speaking skills.

Abstract:

Trepanation and artificial cranial deformations in ancient ArmeniaThe purpose of the paper is to review surgical and ritual practices on people living on the Shirak Plateau (Armenia) during the Late Antiquity period (1st century BC - 3rd century AD) and is based on human remains uncovered at sites in Beniamin, Black Fortress I, Shirakavan, Karmrakar and Vardbakh. The basic demographic data for these cases, including the age and sex of the skeleton, the precise location of the trepanation, the form of the trepanation and instruments used, and the presence of any associated pathologies, injuries, diseases, or developmental deformities on the skeleton, are specified. The phenomenon of artificial skull and teeth modifications identified at ancient burials sites in Armenia clearly points to the emergence of social complexity and class differentiation, and hence the need for social distinction, which in this case was accomplished through the use of body markings. A compilation of case reports and information on trepanation and deformation is essential for a bioarcheological study of the procedure.

Abstract:

In 2019 an Early Bronze Age settlement was recorded within the territory of Lernakert village of Shirak. It occupied the territory of the Early Iron Age fortress of Vari Berd and its surrounding area, reaching the south-western limits of the village. The homogenous and contemporary pottery fragments of the Karnut-Shengavit group associated with the second stage of the Early Bronze Age were unearthed in three test trenches. The assemblage mainly included rim fragments of pithoi, pots, deep bowls, as well as lids, handles, andiron-pedestals etc. These objects represent mainly kitchen ware and objects of everyday use. Some of them, however, bear geometrical patterns, bird and animal decorations and incised ornaments. A bronze crescent-shaped artifact was found within the territory of the site, which is one of the rare examples found in Armenia typical of this period. The mentioned findings reveal a relatively developed level of Early Bronze Age culture in Lernakert.

Abstract:

In the present paper in the territory of Armenia are distinguished the following basic tectonic units from the position of plate tectonics։ 1) the Armenian folded zone as northern segment of known Peri-Gondvanian Cimmerian continent, which had been detached from Gondwanaland in Permian-Triassic in the Neo-Tethys basin initiation and the North drift by the basin widening in Mesozoic time; 2) this moving was accompanied by Paleo-Tethys oceanic crust subduction under the Hercinian base of Tran Caucasian massif that led to formation of Virahayots-Artsakh (Somkhet-Artsakh) island arc construction in a course of Jurassic-Upper Cretaceous time; 3) at the collision of Cimmerian continent with Virahayots-Artsakh island arc construction of Eurasia South Margin the obduction of a shattered and melanged material of the oceanic crust (at Aptian-Upper Coniacian time) fell down to the both sides of the suture zone forming the Amasia-Sevan-Akera and Vedi ophiolite belts. As a result the territory of Armenia had been created since Upper Coniacian time. At the same time in the South the Neo-Tethyan basin starts to narrow owing to its oceanic crust northward subduction under the Iranian margin of the Cimmerian continent. It gave rise to the Urmia-Dokhtar magmatic arc a development on the southern active margin of Iran; 4) on relation to the Urmia-Dokhtar magmatic arc the territory of present Armenia became as back-arc position on distance of 300–350 km to the North of the arc. and since Lower-Middle Eocene back arc stretching and riftogene break out of the earth's crust has taken place installing the Sevan-Shirak rift and its en-echelon continuations of Vayots Dzor-Bargushat-Megri rift. They appeared to be link in the uniform Paleogene back arc en-echelon rift system of Black Sea–Adzhar-Trialet–Shirak–Megri–Talish–Southern Caspian Sea. The Orogenesis of Caucasus started since Oligocene time owing to collision of Arabia with Iran following to closure of the Zagros oceanic pool. This closure was reasoned by the Red Sea opening; 5) in a South-North compression circumstances between Arabia and Eurasia and Anatolia westward drift the latitude stretching forces were developed in Lesser Caucasus giving rise to near-meridian tearing breaks of crust, generating Upper-Pliocene Quaternary volcanic ranges, en-echelon connected with each-other by right lateral slide-slip faults forming the uniform system of Dzavakhet-Gegham-Artsakh volcanic ranges.

Abstract:

All over the world, there is a new meaning of education that reflects the change in teachers’ profession. Grounded on this, the research aim of this paper is to understand the change taking place in teacher profession perception. Narrative as a qualitative research approach was used within the frame of this study. A focus group discussion was conducted with 105 participants in 15 randomly selected schools in the Shirak region in Armenia. Content analysis as a research tool has been used to analyze the collected data. Results of the study indicate that the teacher’s profession needs to be rehabilitated, and within this scope, new approaches on the state level need to be taken. At the same time, teacher education should be renewed, and new demanded qualities must be included in the features, prerequisites, and outcomes of the profession. Reform is a key subject at the state and national level – specialists in the field of education, as well as in the related fields with interest in education, should rethink the meaning of education for today and enable the creation of a new teacher personality.

Abstract:

The restoration of the popular perceptions of an episode of history, of the event, prepares a favorable base for a complete historical and ethnographic study, as it gives an opportunity to understand “from within” and represent numerous topics that are rarely mentioned in official historiography. The Greeks settled in Shirak province of the Republic of Armenia in the 30s of the 19th century, which mainly corresponds to the territory of the former Alexandrapol, after the adoption of the Treaty of Adrianapole in 1830. The invasion of Armenia by the Ottoman in 1918 and Kemalist armies in 1920, the atrocities committed by them were a direct continuation not only of the Armenian Genocide, but also the extermination of other Christian nations, the Greeks of Pontus and Assyrians. In 1918 and 1920 the Greeks of the villages of Baytar, Kaps, and Bayandur were completely massacred. Information about these events in historiography is scarce, but they are preserved in folk memory, which has been recorded by us and is presented in the article in combination with archival materials.

Abstract:

The article presents data on epidemiological features of chicken eimeriasis in poultry farms in northern regions of the Republic of Armenia – Gegharkunik, Tavush, Shirak, and Lori. According to research data, chicken eimeriasis is widespread in target areas (extensiveness of the Eimeria infection was equal to 22.55%, 34.1%, 27.27%, and 30.86% respectively), and often occurs as a mixed invasion with ascariasis, capillariasis, and syngamosis. Eimeria necatrix is the most prevalent Eimeria species in all targeted regions. Eimeria acervulina is the least common species in Armenia. The pattern of Eimeria species distribution was the same for all the regions. It does not depend on climatic and natural condition, as well as on poultry breed. Poultry eimeriasis is generally registered among chickens of 10 to 180 days of age, while one of the pronounced and frequently occurring pathomorphological changes is hemorrhagic inflammation of the caeca mucous membranes. The extensiveness of eimeriasis depends both on the climatic and geographical features of the region, and on the conditions of the poultry keeping, which must be taken into account when carrying out a complex of preventive, veterinary and sanitary measures.

Abstract:

In Beniamin, not far from Gyumri, Armenia, at the foot of a hill on which an Achaemenid palace was built, several semi-excavated constructions dating back from the 6th-4th centuries BC were found. Hosting metallurgy workshops at the beginning of their existence, they were later the seat of a livestock activity. From artisanal iron workshop to long-house, they offer a double interest: They concern the economy of an Achaemenid palatial domain, and present a typical architecture of the Armenian plateau, very similar to the houses described by Xenophon in the 5th century BC, in the Anabasis, the epic of the Ten Thousand. Finally, six main periods of occupation were highlighted by the analysis of stratigraphic data and archaeological artifacts discovered. Continuing the first article devoted to architecture and its evolution, this contribution aims to present the catalogue of the productions collected in the Achaemenid levels of periods I to V. The evolution of these productions clearly attests the function of the buildings demonstrating essential similarities to that of the contemporary site of Tsaghkahovit. After the rapid disappearance of coarse and often decorated common forms (decorated black pottery – group 1A), the present catalogue of Achaemenid ceramics is mainly characterized by productions with red slip (Type 3), black common wares (Type 1b and C), with special predominance of productions of brown burnished ware (clear or polished – type 4). Painted ceramics are almost absent from the catalogue of productions.

Abstract:

The Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) has one of the largest distributions of all eagles. The subspecies Aquila chrysaetos homeyeri occurs in the Republic of Armenia, country in the South Caucasus region, where it is recognized as a year-round resident and included in the Red Book of Animals of The Republic of Armenia as a “Vulnerable” (VU D1) species. However, in Armenia the state of the species population and abundance has been studied extremely poorly, which makes it difficult to organize its effective conservation without trustworthy data. There is only fragmentary, scattered information about the finds of nest sites or only about the locations where individuals were observed. In the 1990’s, in the South Caucasus, at least 75–100 breeding pairs were known, nevertheless, there is no exact data on Golden Eagles in Armenia. Various estimations were done for the species in the early 2000’s, varying between 20–80 breeding pairs. According to the Red Book of Animals of RA, published in 2010, the population of the Golden Eagle consists of 34–38 breeding pairs. Additionally, during our recent sporadic field studies of raptor species we did not observe nesting activities in many previously known Golden Eagle breeding territories. Hence, in order to understand the status and to clarify all the uncertainties, in 2023 we began targeted research on the Golden Eagle breeding population in the Republic of Armenia. During the short period, lasting from early March to mid-July, we managed to study most of suitable breeding habitats in Ararat, Vayots dzor, and Lori regions, and parts of Tavush, Kotayq, Shirak, and Aragatsotn regions (seven out of ten regions of RA). Following our study design, we checked known literature data in the field and reported breeding territories, as well as suitable habitats derived from preliminary GIS modelling. In the field we used 20–60×60 spotting scopes, 10×42 binoculars, and drone. According to preliminary results, during the first year of studies, only four confirmed active nests were located, of which three pairs had successful breeding (three nestlings fledged in the beginning of July), and one nest probably failed. Additionally, one nest was found renovated with green branches, however, birds were not seen in the nest (one adult bird was observed few kilometers away from the breeding territory). Two nests were located in Vayots dzor region, one in Ararat region, and one in Lori region. In addition, 19 non-occupied nests were found, mainly at a large distance from found active nests. Eleven non-occupied nests were found in Vayots dzor region, three in Lori region, two in Kotayk region, two in Ararat region, and finally one in Shirak region. Almost all abandoned nests were located in areas with various extent of anthropogenic activity (roads, pastures, settlements, etc.). The ongoing project is carried out in the framework of the project “Birds of prey research and conservation” of the branch of German Nature Protection Union (NABU) in the Republic of Armenia.

The satirical folklore of Shirak is widely expressed in the following genres of oral poetry: local conversations, anecdotes, folk games, words of reproach, nicknames, proverbs, etc. In the Shirak region, the folklore text is perfectly manifested in the context of ritual, custom and tradition, with various forms of narration and ethnographic layers. Considering the samples of the satirical folklore of Shirak, it can be stated that the city of Gyumri in its spiritual genealogy and linguistics generalizes the urban folklore and humor of the settlers from Alashkert, the Inner Basin, Karin and Kars. In the samples of satirical folklore of Shirak the elements of improvisation are dominant.

Abstract:

Archaeological investigations witness fact to strengthen the natural defence of the fertile Shirak plain (enclosed by the Kars plateau, the Shirak and Pamback Ranges and the Mt. Aragats) by the fortifications since the ancient times. The archaeological research level of the considerable part of these fortifications doesnt enable to do the more complete interpretations. However comparative analysis of the results of investigations based on topographical and chronological data of the fortifications, together with the account of military and political situation in the region, enable to reveal the process of successive formation of the Shirak defensive system since the 3rd millennium BC up to 1st millennium AD. In the period of the Kamsarakan prince’s family (4th-8th centuries AD) ancient fortresses along Akhuryan valley transit trade routes are being rebuilt and completed. Hence the linear defensive system of the Shirak plain was formed and strengthened. During the reign of Bagratids (9th-11th centuries AD) the capital from Kars to Ani was trasfered in the 961 AD. By this action, fusing together with the linear defensive system was formed the concentric defensive system of the capital. In connection with the rise of the new developing urban centres, Ani, as the most important strategic centre, also became crossroad of the international transit trade routes. Reorganized and improved Shirak defensive system - one of the composite links of the Ayrarat state defensive system - became the controlling junction with strategic significance for the reconstructed statehood sovereign country.

Abstract:

The article examines the contemporary manifestations of Armenian folk lullabies and mourning songs and analyzes their artistic, structural, expressive and genric features. The modern manifestations of Shirak folk songs are examined with reference to the fullest possible set of genric characteristics, contextual features, and means of expressiveness. The results of folklore expeditions in the region have demonstrated that these two genres are particularly vibrant in the Shirak region. It should be noted that the genre of dance song is the most well-preserved form of traditional Shirak folklore. However, the recorded materials reiterate as much as possible fully preserved or partially memorized versions of traditional examples of these genres. Regrettably, other genres such as working, ritual or epic songs have hardly survived. In this context, it is noteworthy that lullabies and mourning songs have survived in the contemporary socio-cultural context. As a result of the study, we found out that these genres have preserved the genric functions and the system of expressive means corresponding to them. Here, formulaic word- combinations predominate, both in speech and musical monodic thinking.

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to present changes in the ethno-religious composition of the population of the Shirak region, the motives and motives influencing them. We tried to highlight the change in a person‟s ethnoreligious identity and value system. The article analyzes and identifies the ethnodemographic characteristics of the population of Shirak. In order to study the ethno-religious composition of the population of the region, we took the Armenian SSR of 1989 as a basis. RA 2001 and 2011 census data, ethnographic field materials, scientific publications on the topic. Let us recall that the ethno-religious composition of the population of the Shirak region has not been under close scrutiny, while in the Republic of Armenia it has been studied in great detail. The trend of the ethno-religious composition of the population of the newly independent RA marzes has hardly been studied from an ethnogeographic point of view. In that regard, we are trying to present the number of nationalities living in the region from an ethnogeographic point of view, what changes have been made and what factors are responsible for these changes. We have also tried to highlight the changes in the religious structure of the population, paying special attention to some issues of religious conversion and statistical data.
