Richard G. Hovannisian (ed.), Armenian Van/Vaspurakan,

The UCLA conference series "Historic Armenian Cities and Provinces" has been organized to explore the historical, political, cultural, religious, social, and economic legacy of a people rooted on the Armenian Plateau for three millennia. Armenian Van/Vaspurakan is the first of the conference proceedings to be published, in view of the fact that the area around Lake Van is the cradle of Armenian civilization.
