 Armenian Literature, and Armenian Badarak information: In any case, like all folk dance, armenian folk dance is part of a living tradition which has changed a great deal and will continue to change, absorbing new influences and itself influencing others. It was the first of the arts of armenia to be seriously studied, and to this day armenian architecture receives more scholarly attention than all of the other arts combined. The written language of that time, called classical armenian or grabar, remained the armenian literary language, with various changes, until the 19th century. Similarly, no simple list of the distinguishing characteristics of armenian art can be made, since it shares much with the art of its neighbors near and far. At the end of the 10th century the byzantine empire, although ruled by an imperial dynasty of armenian origin, adopted a near-sighted policy of weakening armenia and eventually annexed it in 1045, thus depriving itself of an effective shield against disastrous invasion of turkic nomads from central asia.
About Armenian Literature
The anatolian plain is one of the world's oldest centers of civilization. With the religious patriarch sahag, the scholar mesrob mahtots developed a new alphabet containing 36 letters, which was used to write the armenian language. However, the armenian church still uses grabar, or classical in church services. We call ourselves hye or hay, because the hayassa tribe were more advanced by culture and were the oldest tribe in that area, from the14th century. Other scholars accept this especially because the bible states that the askanas were phrygians and armenians. |
