Today, General, Professor Hayk Kotanjian visited YSU rector, Professor Aram Simonyan at the “Nork – Marash” Cardiology Center.

 

H. Kotanjian “This visit to my colleague is not extraordinary, as Professor Aram Simonyan, being one of the major specialists in the 1917-1921 political history of Great Artsakh (Karabakh and Syunik), and previously a member of the Institute for National Strategic Studies Academic Council, has his contribution to the preparation of specialists in the field of political science maintaining his family’s academic traditions. On this occasion, I am obliged to honor his father Professor Hrachik Simonyan’s memory, a person, who, representing the patriotic traditions of the Great Artsakh intellectuals, during Perestroyka took the responsibility together with Armenian People’s poetess Silva Kaputikyan to come forward as one of the authors of the political – philosophical basis of the Karabakh Movement as a platform of national liberation movement against the colonial heritage of Stalinism.
