Armenian Soviet Encyclopedia


The Armenian Soviet Encyclopedia publishing house was established in 1967 as a department of the Institute of History of the Armenian Academy of Sciences under the presidency of Viktor Hambardzumyan, co-edited by Abel Simonyan and Makich Arzumanyan. In 1988–1999 the editor-in-chief was Konstantin Khudaverdyan and since 1999 Hovhannes Aivazyan. It produced the Soviet Armenian Encyclopedia from 1974–1986.
The AE publishing house also edited a children's encyclopedia, Who is it? What is it? in 4 volumes, the Russian-Armenian Polytechnical Dictionary and a Traveler's Encyclopedia. Since Armenian independence publications include titles on topics of such current-day issues such as the Nagorno-Karabakh War, the Armenian Question and the Armenian diaspora.
