`Our Victories’

`OUR VICTORIES’

08 March 2009

The viability of any civilization, alongside with other factors, is
determined by the high level of the military thought and, of course, by
the will and the ability to fight and to win. In this context the
history of Armenian civilization is not an exception; it is also the
continuous integrity of military art and victories. Meanwhile, it
should be accepted that in spite of the valuable historical evidences
and separate contemporary researches, the systematized analytical
history of our victories had not been covered and presented to the
Armenian and international community. In our opinion, this is the
omission not only from the point of view of Armenian historiography.
Providing the community with the information on Armenian military art
will inevitably boost the formation of large-minded and victorious
identity of contemporary Armeniancy free of psychological complexes.
Mainly this circumstances and problems compelled us to start on this
project entitled `Our victories’.

Within the framework of that project `Our victories’ four-volume
edition is publishing. It is going to be a background for the creation
of the Armenian military art encyclopedia. It is intended to translate
those publications in order to present our military art to foreign
language speaking community. There is also an intention to accept those
works as a basis for the creation of different digital and electronic
formats.

The first volume, which is a result of triennial work of the writing
staff, covers the historical period from the 3rd millennium BC till the
3rd century AC. In the near future the second volume of `Our victories’
will be published. It will be devoted to the military developments of
the 4th-10th centuries. At the same time the third (11th-17th
centuries) and forth volumes are in preparation. Our glorious and
convincing victories in war in Artsakh will also be presented in the
last volume.

It is obvious that the omissions in such a large-scale project are
inevitable. This mainly concerns the period of the 3rd and the 2nd
millenniums where we have a certain lack of evidences. Anyway we are
expecting both remarks and assistance in the implementation of the
project.

The book `Our victories’ can be purchased in `Book world’ (address: 20
Mashtots Ave. Yerevan) and `Noyan Tapan’ (Hanrapetutyan Square,
Government House 2) bookstores.
