His family soon moved to Mosul, Iraq.〔〔 Kavoukjian graduated from the American University of Beirut in 1934 majoring in Architectural engineering, then worked as the chief municipal architect of Mosul, Iraq during the period from 1941 to 1947.〔〔 In Iraq, he designed and built both governmental and residential buildings.〔〔 Kavoukjian immigrated to Armenia in 1947, and in 1947-1979, he played a key role within the "Great Rebuilding Project" of Armenia as the chief architect, building numerous federal, public, industrial, and residential buildings.〔〔 In 1973, his "The Origin of the Names Armen and Hye and Urartu" was published in Beirut.〔〔 Studies of Kavoukjian have been cited in the works by Edgar C.

Armenologist, archimandrite Gomidas Hovnanian in a 2006 interview described Kavoukjian as "a talented scientist" who had written a research on "The ancestral home of the Celtic tribes and Celtic-Caucasian connections".〔Hovnanian is convinced that "the 'unknown country of the Celts' is Armenia (named "Aratta" by the Sumerians)". This question has been considered in detail by talented scientist Martiros Kavoukjian in his "the ancestral home of the Celtic tribes and Celtic-Caucasian connections", and more recently Ruben Yegiazaryan has added his contribution to the topic with the book "Celtic symbolism and Armenian legend" (Yerevan, 2005, in Russian). 〕 In 2008 an evening commemorating Kavoukjian's legacy took place in Montreal.〔(Armenian Calendar )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Martiros Kavoukjian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
