Ruben Henrik Gasparyan (June 25, 1962 – July 10, 2013) was an expert in Armenian history, a university professor and researcher at the Department of Modern History of the Institute of History of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia. ==Biography== Gasparyan was born in Yerevan, and graduated in 1984 from Yerevan State Pedagogical University, with a major in History and Pedagogy at the Department of History and Geography Studies. From 1984 to 1989, he worked as a history teacher in the Akunq village school in the province of Abovyan (later re-named Kotayk), while commencing extramural postgraduate studies at the National Academy of Sciences. His thesis “The socio-political life of the Armenians of Cilicia in 1900-1921s” was supervised by Dr. Haykaz Poghosyan. From 1989 to 1996 he taught history and social sciences at No. 57 secondary school, while beginning research on the Cilician Armenians . During the Young Researchers’ 20th session at the NAS RA Institute of History in 1986, Ruben Gasparyan delivered a speech on Adana’s bloody massacres of innocent civilians. The researcher impressed his audience with his remarkable research skills and the advanced methods he had applied to his research work. The period between 1988 and 1991 was a restless time. The Artsakh liberation movement began in February 1988. It was another wake-up call for the Armenian people. Gasparyan didn’t stay aloof and, like most of the people, actively participated in mass demonstrations and rallies in support of Artsakh, helping to obtain essential supplies, including books, for the people of Artsakh. In 1991, Gasparyan defended his thesis and was awarded candidacy for a PhD in History. Shortly afterwards, he took a job as a researcher at the Department of New History of the NAS RA Institute of History. Gasparyan was thereupon elected Chair of the Young Researchers’ Council and continued in this role until 1997. Along with this job, he held the position of Scientific Secretary for four years’ time (1995-1999). From 1999 to 2009, he was in charge of the Department of Higher Education and the Department of Higher and Postgraduate Education at the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Armenia, and ran classes for master's program students at Yerevan State University. In 2009, he returned to the National Academy of Sciences. From 1 July 2010 to June 2011, he was Head of the Department of the Armenian Question and the History of the Armenian Genocide. In June 2011 , Gasparyan moved back to the Department of Modern History where he remained until the end of his life. Ruben Gasparyan would have brought the work on his doctoral thesis to a close but for the serious illness which hindered him from fulfilling it. The NAS RA Institute of History intends to develop Gasparyan’s research work for its final release and have it published in 2015. 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「Ruben Gasparyan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
