“The Christianization of Armenia in 301AD has been a turning point in its national history,” Gibrahayer e-magazine reads.

“A new culture was started which was further rooted and implemented with the invention of the Armenian alphabet and the translation of the Bible into Armenian. Since then, the Bible has been the essence of the Christian faith for the Armenian nation and the preservation of its national identity and culture,” the source reports.

“Dr. Ari Topouzkhanian’s visit to Cyprus from October 28 to November 2, 2009, was very significant in this respect. A prominent scientist and Bible scholar-translator, Dr. Topouzkhanian stimulated the Armenian audience with his two very inspiring lectures: The essence of the Armenian Bible — Historical reflections and the present day challenges, Faith and Science — The Christian Armenian youths search for identity,” the magazine informs.
