1918-19” book. The author dwells on the massacres committed by the
Tatar-Turks against the Armenians of the historical Armenian provinces
that were included in the structure of the present Nakhijevan in
1905-1918-19.
Since 1965, Argam Ayvazyan has been engaged in researching the
historical-architectural heritage of Nakhijevan. This is the 15th work
of the author. The book consists of two large chapters that, according
to the author, touch upon many new sources, documents and memoirs.
Besides, the book includes over 100 photos picturing the former and
current situations of the Armenian dwelling places of Nakhijevan, maps
that depict the Armenian historical monuments.

such works. He said that the time will come and such book will become
