The cruel historical destiny of the Armenian nation deeply engraved in its culture as a whole, and in its periodical press in particular. This factor specifi­cally determined a decision of the historical, academic and media institution, that bears the name of the “Mkhitarist Abbey,” to settle and function out of the Armenian borders, in Venice, Trieste and Vienna. One of its signifi­cant publica­tions, the “Bazmavep” journal, had appeared in print in 1843, in Venice; and the very fact that this media did not interrupt up today, makes it moreover re­mark­able. The editors of this periodical (Gabriel Aivazovsky, Ghe­vond Ali­shan, Ok­sen­dios Kurkenian, Krikor Jelalian) were the most edu­cated, in­tel­ligent, well-bread and progressive persons in their times, not only in Armenian milieu, but also by Eu­ropean and world-wide standards. From the very first issue, the whole content of the “Bazmavep” shaped, consolidated and made firm the sense and credo of the folk mind and spiritual homeland. Step by step the “Bazmavep” took the role of provider of inspiring feed for Armenian readers from different social strata; and it also turned into the center where scientific, ethical and cul­tural struggle of the Armenian intellectual community was or­ganized and got its course and school.
