Introduction
This is my fifth title s_inceI 've started to publish reference books. My first publication was
•Who 1s Who of Iranian Professional Librarians," which was published in Tehran, Iran, in
1979. After I left my native land. I continued to publish reference books that are related
to my culture and heritage in the U.S.A.
Armeniansa nd Iran is a unique and comprehensive bibliography about Armenians in Iran,
which is prepared in Persian, Armenian, and the English languages in romanized form. It
also includes any published book in the Persian language about Armenians in general, and
any published book in the three mentioned above languages that describes the relation of
Iran and Armenia throughout the history.
Fortunately, after several years of research, I have been able to collect about 261 published
books, the oldest of which was the Persian Armenian Dictionary by Georg Dpir Ter
Hovhannessian which was published in Turkey, in 1826. This dictionary is available at the
Library of Congress in Washington D.C.
Armenians and Iran is not only a bibliography, but also a union catalog, which will help
you locate the majority of the books mentioned in this guide. Those who are interested in
studying these materials should contact their closest public or university libraries. If you are
not able to locate that particular book, you should then contact the reference librarian and
ask about inter-library loan service. The majority of these books in ilie English language
are available in major university libraries such as the University of California Library
System. I have tried to find the call numbers of the books as much as possible for your
convenience. For Persian or Armenian language books, if the bibliography indicates
"Available at Vassilian' s Library," it means that you may call or write for the availability
of the book directly from me.
This guide has been arranged in two parts. The first part includes a bibliography of 261
titles in Persian, Armenian, and the English languages in romanized form, by subject, author
and title. Part two is a reprint section of a published book in Armenia about Iran, The
Countriesa nd Peopleso f the Near and Middle East, XI, Iran, publishedb y the Academy
of Sciences of the Armenian S.S.R., Yerevan, 1982. This section includes bibliographies
of books and periodical articles about Armenians in the Persian language.
For romanization I have used the Library of Congress standard transliteration chart for
Persian and Arm~nian alphabets to make it easier to read and understand the alphabets in
English letters. This is included in the section prior to the beginning of the bibliography
section.
I wish to thank all of those who assisted me in this project, particularly Mr. Sebo
Minassian, who sent many books and other valuable information from Tehran, Iran, to m~
in the United States.
To make the Armenians and Iran a much more valuable source, your assistance willb e
greatly appreciated. Since this publication is planned to be revised periodically, I encourage
those individuals who have other books that are missing in this edition to send your
correspondence to Armenian Reference Books Co., P.O. Box 231, Glendale, California
91209. If you wish to contact me personally, you may reach me at [phone].
