Résumé anglais Claire Mouradian, An Armenian ethnographie periodical, Azgagrakan handes. The reviews Azgagrakan handes, published in the Caucasus in 1895-1916 and Eminian azgagrakan joghovatsou, edited by the Lazarian Iastitute of Moscow in 1900-1913, represent a unique storehouse of ethnographic materials with regard to the Armenian rural world about to disappear. They represent a first-hand source on Armenian society at the beginning of the century. They can also be used by historiography of social sciences bearing on this peripheral region. Finally they contribute to clarify the process of elaboration of the national identity of the Armeniaas, revealing, as they do, their perception of themselves and of others, as well as of the past, of the present and the future of their nation. In the case of Armenia, ethnography as well as other domains of social sciences (history in particular) is viewed as a branch of armenology, instrumental in keeping memory alive and contributing to the solution of the national question.
