The book, Tuberoses, investigates the role of Armenians in the eight year Holy Defense.
According to Tabnak's report in the introduction of the book, Dr. Arman Budaghianse, the author of the book says:
"In the non Muslim society in Iran, Armenian Christians were the most loyal ones. Their presence in the Islamic revolution and the imposed war left the international world in wonder. Given that the imposed war was the war of Islam against blasphemy, the passion of Christians and their protective attitude surprised everyone."
"Undoubtedly, Imam Khomeini as the political leader of non Muslim Iranians, had such influence on everyone's heart that the Christians in Iran, especially the Armenians, that they joined Muslims to defend Iran."
"The high status of the concept of martyrdom, in true Christianity has such influence in Armenian society, that it provided grounds for them to join the Muslims of Iran. The words of Yaghishe, the Armenian historian of the 5th century AD, are very much present in the history of Armenians. He asserts:" A death companied with awareness leads to immortality whereas, ding in unawareness leads to real death."
Tuberoses
This book does not attempt to settle anything. It is merely a beginning of a much more elaborate scrutiny to understand the fellow Christian compatriots.
The first part of this collection, deals with three thousand year old military relations between Armenians and other Aryan Iranian. In other part, the book engages with the participation of Armenians in the Holy Defense. Afterwards, it presents the Armenian soldiers, martyrs, wounded and, the ones who went missing in form of an encyclopedia. The next chapter is dedicated to the introduction of Armenian non-military wounded people.
The author asserts: “I believe that this collection is a rich text for the intellectual filmmakers, play writers and authors.” The most beautiful humanistic relations are demonstrated very lively in this book.
In this book we read:
Martyr, Urick Sardarian, born in Kalavah, Arak, was the soldier of 64th division of Urumiah. He was killed in Haj Omran, in 1986 zone when he was 22.
He was buried on the day of Ashura with a religious funeral in Targmanchats church. Many Armenians of Tehran, generals, and elective representatives attended his funeral in the Armenian cemetery.
The great leader of the revolution attended his funeral, supported his parents emotionally and, blessed them.
Tuberoses, is co-published by Hayat Nashr and Serir Publications which is affiliated with the foundation of Maintenance and Propagation of the Values of the Holy Defence, in 824 pages.
At the back cover of the book we read:
From the very moment Vahab, a handsome young Nasrani boy- gave his heart and soul to Imam Ali as his master he was determined to fight for Imam Ali to death. Today, Christian men and women just like the humble and truthful disciples, fight for their leader, Khomeini, all united and determined.
We strongly recommend this book to the ones interested in the period of the Holy Defense.

Oral History of 40 Years
One of the main hypotheses regarding the reason for the growth and expansion of oral history in the modern era relates to the fact that oral history is the best tool for addressing lesser-known topics of contemporary history. Topics that, particularly because little information is available about them, have received less attention.Omissions in the Editing of Oral History
After the completion of interview sessions, the original recordings are archived, the interviews are transcribed, proofread, and re-listened to. If the material possesses the qualities required for publication in the form of an article or a book, the editing process must begin. In general, understanding a verbatim transcription of an interview is often not straightforward and requires editing so that it may be transformed into a fluent, well-documented text that is easy to comprehend.100 Questions/8
We asked several researchers and activists in the field of oral history to express their views on oral history questions. The names of each participant are listed at the beginning of their answers, and the text of all answers will be published on this portal by the end of the week. The goal of this project is to open new doors to an issue and promote scientific discussions in the field of oral history.The Role of Objects in Oral Narrative
Philosophers refer to anything that exists—or possesses the potential to exist—as an object. This concept may manifest in material forms, abstract notions, and even human emotions and lived experiences. In other words, an object encompasses a vast spectrum of beings and phenomena, each endowed with particular attributes and characteristics, and apprehensible in diverse modalities.
