ADDITIONAL INFO
Rouben Galichian
Rouben
Galichian (Galchian) was born (1938) in Tabriz, Iran, to a family of
immigrant Armenians who had fled Van in 1915 to escape the Genocide,
arriving in Iran via Armenia, Georgia and France. After attending school
in Tehran, Rouben received a scholarship to study in the UK and
graduated with a First Class Honours Degree in Electrical Engineering
from the University of Aston, Birmingham in 1963.
After returning to
Iran he worked in the Iranian Oil and Gas industries first as engineer
and then as project manager for various pipeline projects. He was also
active in designing lighting, electrical and communication systems for
high-rises, university and college complexes. Since 1973 he was the
Technical Director of a large consulting engineering firm, Bornaa, later
renamed Nargan in Iran. From 1981 to 2000 he was a project director in
Halcrow-Balfours Engineering firm in the UK, improving their design
criteria and methods and later worked as consultant for
oil-gas-petrochemical industries. From 2000-2005 he was the
representative of Nargan Engineering of Iran, in Technip Company of
France.
Rouben’s interest in geography and cartography started from
his school days, but he began seriously studying this subject since the
1970s. In 1976 he laid the foundation of his map collection, which in
2013 he donated to Matenadaran in Yerevan. In 1981 he moved to London
with his family, where he had access to a huge variety of old maps and
other cartographic material.
His first book entitled “Historic Maps
of Armenia: The Cartographic Heritage" (I. B. Tauris, London & New
York, 2004) contained a collection of world maps and maps of Armenia
over a period of 2600 years, as seen by various mapmakers. It became a
bestseller of its kind and the following year, an expanded version of
the book (produced in Russian and Armenian) was published in Armenia
(Printinfo Art Books, 2005).
His third book, “Countries South of the
Caucasus in Medieval Maps: Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan” (Gomidas
Institute, London, 2007), provides basic historical-geographical
information of this region for readers in the West The book contains 82
medieval maps and 26 detail maps, which constitute a major part of the
world cartographic heritage, beginning with biographic details of their
authors and their sources, augmented by cartographic-geographic analysis
of all the map contents, particularly regarding the manner that
Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan are presented on these maps.
His
fourth “The Invention of History: Azerbaijan, Armenia, and the
Showcasing of Imaginations” (Gomidas Institute-London and Printinfo Art
Books-Yerevan, April 2009), documenting Armenia’s and Armenian’s native
pedigree and culture through the centuries, which the recently (1918)
born Republic of Azerbaijan falsifies, disputes and appropriates. The
book was translated into Armenian and Russian and published in Armenia
in 2010. The second edition of the English was published in Armenia in
2010.
One of his most recent books is “Clash of Histories in the
South Caucasus. Redrawing the Maps of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Iran”
(Bennett & Bloom, 2012), which exposes Azerbaijan’s historic and
cultural misrepresentations, presenting the truth revealed through
various documents. The book has also been published in Russian (2013)
and Persian (2015).
In 2014 he revised and abridged his most successful work, Historic Maps of Armenia (Bennett & Bloom, London, 2014).
In
2015, are the revised re-publication of his first cartographic work in
three languages, Armenian-Russian-English, published under the auspices
of the Catholicos of All Armenians in a luxurious and large volume, as
well as a smaller volume entitled A Glance into the History of Armenia
through Cartographic Records (Bennett & Bloom, 2015), designed to
accompany the traveling exhibition of 51 map panels, which depict
Armenia in various periods of its history.
His latest works,
published in 2019, "ARMENIA, AZERBAIJAN and TURKEY. Addressing Paradoxes
of Culture, Geography and History" (Bennett & Bloom of London and
Zangak of Yerevan, Armenia, 2019) addresses mainly cultural,
geographical and historical misrepresentation of facts by our
neighbours, aimed at proving that Armenians are new in the region and
they are the ethnics of the region. Using Islamic and European
documentation and maps, the truth is discussed and exposed.
In
addition to the above mentioned books, Rouben is the author of many
articles on cartography and related subjects, written for various
periodicals and magazines.Hehas lectured in in the universities of
Oxford, Cambridge, Yerevan and other cities such as Boston, Providence,
San Francisco, Paris, Tehran, Los Angeles, Cairo etc. Some of these
papers can be found in the website.
His wife Mariette is a qualified
therapist and counselor with many years of working experience in London
Marriage Guidance Center. Since 1994 she has trained many therapists in
Armenia where she currently is active in therapy, counselling and
training of the specialists.
Rouben and his wife are also involved in
many charitable projects in Armenia. He has been the chairman of Aid
Armenia, a British charity, which built and equipped the children’s
hospital in Vanadzor,they are trustees of Friends of Armenia, involved
in projects dealing with education, health and alleviation of poverty in
vulnerable families by providing them with means for getting additional
income. They also have founded Levon Galchian Art Studio in the village
of Myasnikian, Armavir Marz, in memory of their artist and designer
son, Levon (1965-2004), where village schoolchildren can learn various
crafts and arts.
In appreciation of the services offered to Armenian
historical cartography, Rouben was awarded an Honourary Doctorate by the
National Academy of Sciences of Armenia in November of 2008. In 2009 he
was the recipient of “Vazgen I” cultural achievements medal. In 2013
the President of the Republic of Armenia awarded Rouben the prestigious
Movses Khorenatsi medal for his achievements in the preservation of the
Armenian heritage and improvement of relations between Armenia and the
Diaspora.
