Армянское дворянство

Происхождение армянского дворянства

История армянского дворянства уходят корнями в родоплеменную формацию, когда протоармянские племена, отделившиеся от древнеарийской общности, выделяли из своей среды вождей для управления своим обществом, защиты территории и военных походов. Такими предводителями обычно становились лучшие представители родов и племён. Аристократический класс армянского общества назывался — «азат»[1], также именуемые «азнвакан» или «азнавур» (что переводится, как «благородный, благородного происхождения»)[2].

В переводе с современного армянского слово «азат» дословно означает «свободный», однако термин, по всей видимости, имеет более древнее значение и, вероятно, восходит к арийскому yazata («божественные», «имеющие божественное происхождение», «достойные поклонения»). Многие аристократические кланы, возводили своё происхождение либо к божествам армянского язычества, либо к героям-патриархам армянского народа. Например, княжеские роды Ваевуни и Мехнуни вели своё происхождение соответственно от Ваагна и Михра — божеств огня, войны и небесного света, справедливости. Род Арцруни считал своим предком Санасара, отца эпического Мгера из Сасна Црер, то есть того же древнеармянского божества Михра. Целая плеяда аристократических родов Армении считала своим общим прямым первопредком Айка Наапета, патриарха-родоначальника армянского народа, эпитетом которого был «дюцазн», то есть «происходящий из дицов», «отпрыск божеств». Согласно традиции, от праотца Айка и его потомков произошли княжеские роды Хорхоруни, Бзнуни, Мандакуни, Манавазян, Ангехеа (Ангех тун), Варажнуни, Апахуни, Арран тун и другие.

В разное время упоминаются различное количество армянских аристократических родов. Иногда речь идёт о девяноста родах, иногда их число доходит до трёхсот. Со временем число собственно аристократических фамилий менялось.

Армянская аристократия, как особый социальный институт, возможно, появилась уже ко времени заката государства Урарту. Роды Рштуни, Мокац, Арцруни и некоторые другие могли произойти от имён племенных вождей ещё в урартское время. Другие роды — скажем, Мамиконян, Аравелян,- были возведены в дворянское сословие специальными указами армянских царей за определённые заслуги перед двором или перед Арменией. Хотя в большинстве своём армянская аристократия состояла из собственно армянских фамилий, однако исторические хроники свидетельствуют и о значительном иноземном вливании в дворянское сословие.

В подавляющем большинстве иноземные роды имели арийское (индоевропейское) происхождение; это были в основном иранцы, аланы, греки и римляне. Особо значителен был иранский аристократический элемент; многие армянские дворянские фамилии либо были связаны с аристократическими родами Ирана, либо вовсе имели иранское (персидское, парфянское и т. п.) происхождение. К последним принадлежали знаменитые роды Аршакуни, Арташесиан, Пахлавуни и другие. Примерами родов, имевших не армянское, но арийское происхождение являются Аравелян (аланы) и Ропсян (римляне). Неарийский элемент никогда не был значителен в армянской дворянской среде и чаще всего имеет позднее происхождение. Например, Мамиконяны ведут своё происхождение от выходца из Маньчжурии Мамгона, который за свои услуги получил дворянский титул от одного из армянских царей. Некоторые христианские историки имеют тенденцию возводить часть армянских аристократических родов к ближневосточным корням. Например, Мовсес Хоренаци в своей «Истории Армении» возводит родословную своего мецената, князя Багратуни, к неармянским ближневосточным корням. Однако данные историографии указывают о существовании рода Багратуни с древнейших времён, и речь идёт именно о коренных жителях Армении. Лингвистический анализ также подтверждает, что имя Багарат скорее всего имеет арийское происхождение: от bhag = бог и arat = обильный, дословно «богообильный». Любопытно, что и сам князь Багратуни отверг версию Хоренаци.

Современное состояние армянского дворянства

История армянского дворянства, как и история армянского народа, полна драматизма. Иногда, во время междоусобных войн, истреблялись целые роды. Многие аристократические роды погибли во время войн с иноземными захватчиками — арабами и тюрками. Последние, осознавая, что армянское государство держится на аристократии, вели активную политику на уничтожение армянского дворянства. Так, в 705 году арабский остикан (наместник) Армении обманом пригласил в Нахичеван около восьмисот армянских дворянских родов вместе с сопровождающей охраной якобы для переговоров и всех уничтожил. Несмотря на это, некоторые дворянские роды пережили эту трагедию и продолжили своё существование. Часть потомков армянского дворянства добилась высоких чинов при иноземных королевских дворах. Так потомки армянских Арцруни стали влиятельными вельможами при грузинском дворе, а грузинская ветвь армянских нахараров Багратуни взошла на престол и стала правящим домом в Грузии (см. Багратионы). Целая плеяда армян по происхождению наследственно управляла византийским престолом (см. Македонская династия и Комнины). В результате династических браков, потомки армянского королевского рода Лусинянов (Лузиньянов), правивших в Киликии и на Кипре, слились с представителями западноевропейской королевской династии Савой (Савуа), правившей в Италии. Другие же потомки нахарарских родов дали начало средневековым армянским дворянским династиям, таким как Закаряны, Прошяны, Кюрикяны, Орбеляны, Арцруни-Махканабердские, Торникяны и др. Последние сыграли значительную роль в освободительной борьбе армянского народа и в сохранении армянской государственности.
Особо отличились в XIII веке князья Закаряны — Закарэ и Иванэ, военно-политическая значимость и влияние которых были настолько велики, что они фактически являлись полновластными правителями Армении. Пожалуй, последние крупицы армянской государственности были сохранены полузависимыми князьями-меликами Арцаха, известными как меликства Хамсы (от арабского «пять княжеств»), вплоть до вхождения восточной Армении в состав Российской империи. Российские императоры либо признавали титулы армянских аристократов, либо сами возводили в дворянское достоинство видных деятелей армянского происхождения, при этом активно использовало потенциал армянского дворянства. В этот период выделились дворянские роды Мадатянов (Мадатовых), Лазарянов (Лазаревых), Бейбутовых (Бебутовы), Пирумянов (Пирумовых), Лорис-Меликовых и др.

Аристократическая традиция в Армении претерпела новый удар при советской власти, когда армянское дворянство было упразднено как сословие и подверглось систематическим гонениям. Многие представители дворянства были репрессированы, сосланы в колонии и трудовые лагеря, либо вовсе расстреляны. Другие вынуждены были скрывать своё дворянское происхождение, меняя фамилии и скрывая свою родословную. Лишь немногим удалось сохранить свою семейную традицию, переселившись за пределы Армении.

С восстановлением независимости Армении были предприняты важные шаги для возрождения традиций армянской аристократии. В октябре 1992 года в Армении был создан Союз армянских дворян, который зарегистрирован при министерстве юстиции Армении как общественная неправительственная организация. Союз возглавляет Предводитель армянского дворянства, Великий Князь, доктор технических наук, академик Геворг Пирумян.

Союз насчитывает около 400 потомков и представителей дворянских сословий Армении. Членами Союза могут стать представители древних и новых армянских аристократических династий и родов, а также носители иностранных дворянских титулов, живущих в Республике Армения и за её пределами, независимо от их политических и религиозных взглядов, возраста и пола.

Основными целями Союза армянских дворян являются:

Возрождение армянского дворянства и его былой роли и значения в жизни общества и государства;
Возрождение лучших традиций армянского дворянства и восстановление принципов чести, достоинства, морали и этики дворянства;
Восстановление геральдики аристократических династий и их генеалогии;
Собрание и научное исследование архивных материалов, изучение истории армянского дворянства и отдельных династий;
Представление широким слоям населения истории армянского дворянства и аристократических династий, семей и предков через средства массовой информации и публичные лекции.

Армянские дворянские титулы

Армянские дворянские титулы были у нахараров.Нахарары не только служили в царском дворе но и управляли ашхарами и гаварами.

У нахараров была строго-наследственная власть.
Органы управления Древней Арменией

Верховным органом управления в Древней Арменией был Ашхаражохов. Он образовался ещё в эпоху Аратты. Этот орган издавал законы в Армении.Это была законодательная власть.Вместе с царём этот орган решал вопросы у горы Нпат.
