Tiratsy’an, who "developed the principal trends of study of ancient Armenian culture, substantiating them by concrete investigations in the field of history and archaeology" 2. After graduating the Yerevan State University in 1952, he started his impressive series of publications in 1956 as a researcher and postgraduate student at the Institute of History of the Armenian Academy of Sciences. Nonetheless, his active preoccupation in the field of the ancient history of Armenia preceded by far his early years as a junior researcher in Armenia. This short note is devoted to bringing into focus the less known period of Gevork Tirats’yan’s youth spent in Romania, where he was born on 18 September 1926. Two pieces of information discovered in the Romanian Armenian newspaper Հայաստանեան ճակատ / Hayastanyan Chakat are presented here with a twofold objective. Firstly, to underscore for the Armenian public the fact that Tirats’yan’s preoccupation with the ancient history and archaeology of Armenia had already been strongly developed during the period when he had been a student of the Department of History at the University of Bucharest (1945-1948). Secondly, to raise the awareness of the Romanian public on the undeservedly neglected fact that one of the most celebrated Armenian archaeologists of all times was born and started his academic career in Bucharest. 1 This research has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No. 734645, "Knowledge Exchange and Academic Cultures in the Humanities. Europe and the Black Sea Region". I express thanks for their steady support for my investigation to Arsen Bobokhyan and Nvard Tirats’yan, from the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia and to Ani Shahnazaryan, from the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts of Yerevan. 2 Vardanyan 2003, ix-x. 368 Liviu Mihail iancu Some pieces of historical and biographical background Gevork Tirats’yan was the son of Artashes Tirats’yan (1889-1974), an acclaimed economic historian and lexicographer. Born in Shumen, Bulgaria, in the family of a craftsman, Artashes Tirats’yan studied between 1901 and 1910 in the Cemaran of Etchmiadzin and then in the universities of Berlin, Lausanne and Zürich, where he obtained the Ph.D. degree in economics in 19203. He worked as a history and geography teacher at the Misakian-Kesimian School of Bucharest since 1922 and acted as Head of the Armenian School of Bucharest, at least from the end of the Second World War to his repatriation in 1948 4. He developed leftist political views which opposed him to the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) 5, although his wife was a relative of the Dashnak leader, General Drastamat “Dro” Kanayan 6, who also lived for almost two decades in Romania after World War I. Given that he contributed articles to Նոր արշալույս (New Dawns) and Պահակ (The Guard), the newspapers of the Romanian branch of the pro-Soviet Armenian Aid Committee (H.O.G.), it is possible that he also became a member of the organization. Soon after Romania had entered the Soviet sphere of influence on 23 August 1944, he participated in the foundation of the pro-communist organisation The Front of Armenia, being vicechairman of its Central Committee, at its formal establishment in April 19467. He was also actively involved in editing its homonymous newspaper Հայաստանեան ճակատ (transliterated as Haiasdanian Geagad on its fourth page, which contained abridged Romanian versions of the original Armenian articles) 8. He was one of the leading figures in charge of the second wave of repatriation 3 Tavitian 2008, 350. Tavitian 2008, 350 mentions that Artashes Tirats’yan worked as Head of the Misakian-Kesimian School since 1922, but the information presented in the autobiographical article Arakelian 2014, 21 shows that he was only history and geography teacher in the 1930s. On the other hand, Artashes Tirats’yan was Head of the Armenian school of Bucharest in 1947, one year before his repatriation, as shown by the article "Serbarea…" 1947, which mentions that at the graduation festivity held on 30 June 1947, "Dr. Ard. Tirațian, the Head of the Armenian School, presented the educational situation on the current year in his report." The article is the Romanian abridged version of the larger piece «Պոիքրէշի…» 1947, published in the Armenian section of the same issue of the newspaper, Հայաստանեան ճակատ. 5 Artashes Tirats’yan even came into violent conflict with the supporters of the Dashnaktsutyun, as he later confessed in the article Տիրացյան 1947b, published on 1 June in Հայաստանեան ճակատ: 6 Toumanyan, Vardanyan 2012, 269, Tirats’yan 2021. 7 Năstasă 2008, 17, n. 25. Artashes Tirats’yan was the second founding member mentioned in the Founding Act of 13 March 1946: The Front of Armenia 1946a, roll 1397, frame 52. In February 1947, after the Second Congress of the Front of Armenia, he was elected member of the Bureau of Central Committee: "Biroul…" 1947. 8 More information on the newspaper in Năstasă 2008, 21. 4 369 New Data on Gevork Tiratsy’an’s Activity before his Repatriation... of the Armenians from Romania that took place in the summer of 1948 9. All the family followed him on his way to Yerevan 10. The Front of Armenia was a pro-Soviet organisation based on the former Union of the Armenian Patriots, founded just after Romania had abruptly left the alliance with the Axis powers on 23 August 1944. At its informal establishment in January 1945, its nucleus was constituted by former H.O.G. members 11. It aimed to strengthen the ties of the Romanian Armenians with Soviet Armenia and the Soviet Union, to organise the repatriation of the Armenians from Romania, to contribute to the establishment of the people’s democracy in Romania, to confront fascism and to back the actions which sought the incorporation of the regions historically inhabited by Armenians in Soviet Armenia (the last objective was added in 1948) 12. The organisation changed its name to The Armenian Democratic Committee in May 1950 and was dissolved in March 1953 13. The first known public lecture on ancient history held by Gevork Tirats’yan The Front of Armenia established a unified Youth Section on 2 March 1947 14 that also had a Study Group whose declared aim was, in typical communist terms, that of "raising the cultural and patriotic level of the youth" 15. The main events organised by the Study Group were lectures held on Friday evenings mostly by the Armenian students from Bucharest. The first public lectures, dealing with price formation and the achievements of Alfred Nobel, were delivered on 7 March 1947 16, whereas the official inauguration of the Study Group, attended by members of the Central Committee and the Local Committee of Bucharest of the Front of Armenia, took place on 14 March 1947 17. The subsequent lectures covered either general scientific and cultural topics, or issues of a more pronounced political nature, which met the commitment of "doing everything to remove the still existing differences between our youth, who have been raised until recently mostly in a manner which is alien to the aspirations of our people, 9 The Central Committee of the Front of Armenia, roll 1397, fr. 352. According to Baboian 1948, roll 1397, fr. 410 (published in Năstasă 2008, 38-39), 1022 Armenians from Romania were repatriated in June 1948 on the ship Pobeda. Laycock 2017, 512, n. 5 mentions the slightly different number of 1046 repatriated Romanian Armenians, based on data from the Armenian National Archive, The Committee for the Reception and Settlement of Armenians from Abroad fonds. 10 Tirats’yan 2021. 11 Năstasă 2008, 19. 12 The Front of Armenia 1946b, roll 1397, fr. 55; The Front of Armenia 1948, roll 1397, fr. 423 (published in Năstasă 2008, 40).

It was in this context that Gevork Tirats’yan, a second year undergraduate student at the Department of History of the University of Bucharest, delivered his first known public lecture titled "The Origin of the Armenian People" on Friday, 9 May 1947. The event hosted in the customary meeting of the Study Group of the Youth Section started as usual at 18.30 and took place in the "Șahumian" Hall (nowadays Hovsep and Victoria Dudian House, hosting the library and the museum of the Armenian Eparchy of Romania). Although a second talk on the anniversary of the Soviet newspaper "Pravda" should have been given by another student, a certain Hatanasian, apparently it did not take place. Unfortunately, this is the only information about how the event happened 19. Gevork Tirats’yan as an organiser of the Armenian repatriation from Romania in 1948 The talk given on 9 May 1947 at the Study Group of the Youth Section was not the only activity conducted by Gevorg Tirats’yan under the auspices of the Front of Armenia. One month before, in April 1947, the newly elected Central Committee of the Front appointed a new Repatriation Committee, whose task was “to prepare and direct the works for the repatriation of the Armenians from Romania during this year [1947]” 20. An informative note published on the first page of Հայաստանեան ճակատ immediately after the brief enthusiastic column signed by Artashes Tirats’yan 21 shows that the Repatriation Committee had three branches: the branch for registrations (5 members), the financial branch (16 members) and the administrative branch (9 members). Whereas each was headed by people elected in the central decisional bodies of the Front of Armenia, some of the common members were notable young Armenians, such as Ga- 18 Der Kricorian 1947. Examples of such lectures are that on the Soviet art during the war, held by Nubar Terzian, and that regarding social ideas seen from the economic perspective, held by Hagop Andonian, on 2 May 1947, see "Colțul…" 1947a. 19 The event was briefly announced in the short note "Colțul…" 1947a: "The next meeting of the study group will take place Friday, 9 May, 18.30, in "Șahumian" Hall, when the student Kevork Dirațian will give a talk on: The Origin of the Armenian People, and the student Hatanasian will hold a presentation related to the anniversary of the newspaper "Pravda". An even shorter account of the event was published afterward, in "Colțul…" 1947b: "Friday, 9 May, during the usual meeting of the F.A. Study Group, the student Dirațian Kevork gave a talk on: The Origin of the Armenian People." 20 "Lista Comitetului de Repatriere…" 1947. 21 Տիրացյան 1947a. 371 New Data on Gevork Tiratsy’an’s Activity before his Repatriation... rabet Garabedian, the second-best table tennis player of Romania at that time22. Thus, among the administrative branch is also mentioned Gevorg Tirats’yan 23. Unfortunately, the specific tasks entrusted to the young history student remain unknown. Nonetheless, his membership in the administrative branch of the Repatriation Committee since April 1947 might be a hint that the Tirats’yans’ had already decided to immigrate to Soviet Armenia at the time. Moreover, the administrative work that Gevorg Tirats’yan carried out as a member of the Repatriation Committee of the Front of Armenia when he was only 19 might have been a helpful experience for the latter administrative tasks that he fulfilled as head of archaeological excavations on several sites in Armenia. Perspectives for further research It is possible that more thorough research of the collection of the newspaper ՀայաստանԵաՆ ծակատ / Haiasdanian Geagad and of the Front of Armenia archival fonds preserved at the Central Historical National Archives of Bucharest, Romania, conducted by scholars with a much better understanding of the Armenian language, will bring to light more data on the years when Gevorg Tirats’yan was an undergraduate student in the Department of History at the University of Bucharest. Moreover, such an investigation, eventually extended to the Armenian Aid Committee (H.O.G.) archival fonds preserved as well in Bucharest, would certainly reveal a large amount of documentary material for a biography of Artashes Tirats’yan, an equally brilliant Armenian intellectual and one of the leading figures of the Armenian community in Romania in the second quarter of the 20th century.

One month before, Gevork Tiratsy’an had been elected as a member of the administrative branch of the committee that prepared the second big stage of repatriation of the Armenians from Romania, finally carried out in June 1948 under the leadership of his father.
