GAÏDZ FOUNDATION

For the Promotion of Armenian Heritage in Humanities focusing on critical examination of manuscripts of the Armenian version of the Bible and of subjects associated with it

The Gaïdz Foundation aims to promote Armenian identity and heritage, focusing on humanity sciences in Armenian, with special attention to the Armenian version of the Bible, early and medieval Armenian commentaries on the Bible, Biblical theology and the publication and translation of Armenian manuscripts associated with the Bible.

As "Gaïdz" means "spark" in Armenian, the Foundation takes the initiative to be and to support research that can serve as a spark in starting or promoting a renaissance in Armenian identity and heritage. The foundation is not interested in exclusive academic research without practical application to turn the serious research into public programs and projects.

GET TO KNOW US

We are a group of entrepreneurs, businessmen, scientists, physicians, scholars and clergy, Armenian and nom-Armenian, who are committed to explore and promote the contribution of the Armenians, i.e. the people of the valleys of the Biblical Mount Ararat, to the world civilization in the fields of humanity, with a special focus on the role of the Armenian version of the Bible in creating the identity and culture of the Armenian people. Critical research, for GAIDZ is the beginning and not the end result.

We aim to explore the manuscripts and sources about the Armenian people to develop programs, projects, publications and to offer solutions that will bring the Armenian people closer and make them cognizant of their past and of their ancestors’ contribution to the world. This will help develop and support a contemporary identity based a careful study of the roots of our people.  

 

We know that the best solutions come from the people who are most affected by the daily challenges. GAIDZ is committed to working hard on securing funds to sponsor research that develops results in enhancing the Armenian communities in Armenia, Artsakh and the diaspora and in providing all the support available to researchers and community leaders who are capable of developing programs based on such research that is needed to help unleash our people's potential. 

 

We encourage everyone to set their goals and realize that dreams can come true.

We would like to be partners with individuals and organizations who share the same objectives and interest as GAIDZ.
