SOURCES ON ARMENIAN LAW AND HISTORYin the library of the Documentation Office for East European Law, Leiden

taken from a report, distributed at the firstconference of the AIEA

by F.J.M. FeldbruggeProfessor of Soviet and East European LawUniversity of Leiden

The Documentation Office for East European Law of the University of Leiden Faculty ofLaw possesses one of the largest collections of books and periodicals on Soviet law in the Westernworld. The Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic being one of the fifteen member states of theUSSR, this library also covers the law of Soviet Armenia, the history of Armenian law, and thepolitical institutions and history of Soviet Armenia. Some of the works in question are in Ar-menian, most however in Russian. The Documentation Office would welcome research byArmenological scholars in its library. The following categories of works may be of special interestto them.

Periodicals

The Reports (Telekagir I lzvestiia) of the Social Sciences Section of the Academy of Scien-ces of the Armenian SSR are present for the years 1959-1965. These reports appear monthlyand contain articles in Armenian and Russian on language and literature, history and archeol-ogy, law. and economics.

Sources of Law

The Official Journal (Telekagir f Vedomosti) of the Supreme Soviet, the Presidium of theSupreme Soviet, and the Council of Ministers of the Armenian SSR is available as from 1974.It is the official medium of publication of the laws, edicts, and decrees of the Armenian SovietRepublic. The publication is bilingual, Armenian and Russian.

Many of the older laws, edicts, and decrees of Soviet Armenia can be found in the Chrono-logical Collection (Zamanakagrakan Zotovacu) of laws, edicts, decrees, etc., of which the fol-lowing volumes are available: 1920-1938, 1939-1948, 1949-1952, 1951, 1960 and 1963-1964(all in Armenian).

The most important laws have been published separately (e.g. the Constitution, the CriminalCode, the Civil Code). There are also a number of treatises and studies on various branches ofSoviet law, as applicable in Armenia; these are usually in Russian. As the differences between thelegal systems of the various Soviet republics are minimal, these works are presumably of littleinterest to Armenologicial scholars.

A list of about 15 works on the political and legal history of Soviet Armenia as well asonArmenian law before the revolution, available in the library of the Documentation office forEast European Law, will be sent on request by the secretary of the AIEA to members.

Call for workshops

The AIEA will conduct workshops on particular subjects from time to time. These work-

shops will bring together scholars interested in a delimited subject within Armenian studies.

Normally it is to be expected that participants will distribute their contributions in advance, and

that presentation at the workshop will be brief, so that there will be ample time for discussion.

Many national scientific organizations have the support of such workshops within their activities.

The workshop might be held in countries of the existing scholarly project to which the subject

is related. The sorts ofsubjects that might be suggested are:Techniques of edition of texts. Problems of modern Armenian demography. Armenian

dialectology- modern and medieval. The development of particular Armenian communities inthe 20th century.

No concrete plans have been made for any of these and members interested in conveningworkshops in these and other topics are invited to contact the president or the secretary.
