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.
