Professor George Bournoutian on 1823 Survey of Karabagh
Professor George Bournoutian (Iona College, USA) gave a presentation to AUA students, alumni, faculty, staff, and guests on an official document that shows that the ethnic composition of Mountainous Karabagh region was nearly entirely Armenian at the time of its incorporation into the Russian Empire. His ground-breaking translation and publication of the Russian 1823 Survey of Karabagh has made the full, unadulterated text of this historic document available for scholarly research and historical accuracy.
