SOARing to Armenia: Our Adoption Story
George S. Yacoubian, Jr.
George and Erica Yacoubian adopted their older daughter, Liliana, from Armenia in 2005. In the spring of 2006, the Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (SOAR) was launched, a nonprofit organization that provides humanitarian relief to orphaned Armenian children living in Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh, and Javakh (Georgia). This book represents the first time that George has reflected not just on the adoption process, but on the humanitarian efforts that were inspired by that adoption.

THE WONDERS OF ARTSAKH
by Samvel Karapetian
Artsakh is one of the ancient parts of the Armenian
Homeland, sacred and unsurpassed in its beauty,
abounding in countless wonders created by nature
and man. Nourished by their native soil, endowed
with the blessings of nature, throughout many millennia,
the Armenians of Artsakh enriched it with countless
specimens of man’s creative mind, by building
their cultural heritage—deeply national in
essence—that dates as far back as the times
of polytheism and worship of Nature, and reaches
the Christian era. Notwithstanding the invasions
following one another, and the provisional domination
of foreign rulers, the Armenians of Artsakh remained
attached to their land, made sacred with their
ancestors’ graves and relics. They have never
ceased building monuments each of which has its
own peculiar story.

THE ISLAMIC MONUMENTS OF THE ARMENIAN ARCHITECTURE
OF ARTSAKH
by Samvel Karapetian
During the foreign domination of Armenia, outstanding
Armenian masons were often forced into carrying
out different tasks within the construction activity
of this or that ruler. Applying their knowledge
of architecture, as well as their creative mind
and efforts, Armenian masters were compelled to
build castles, palaces, mosques, mausoleums, bridges,
caravanserais and residential buildings for their
foreign lords, all of these structures revealing
the influence of Armenian architecture, and bearing
the apparent imprint of its traditional features.
We come to the conclusion that all the monuments
erected through the application of Armenian masters'
knowledge and skills, and reflecting their perception
of art, the monuments constructed in accordance
with the principles and logic of Armenian architecture
and building art—refined over and over in
the course of many millennia—form an integral
part of the national architecture of Armenia, and
particularly, of Artsakh.
