Timeline

1935

Zori Hayki Balayan (Զորի Հայկի Բալայան, born February 10, 1935) is an Armenian novelist, journalist, sports doctor, traveler and sports expert.

He was awarded the "Renowned master of the Arts" an Armenian official title.

Balayan was born in Stepanakert, Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (Azerbaijan SSR).

1963

He graduated from the Ryazan State Medical University in 1963.

1971

From 1971 to 1973 he traversed the Kamchatka and Chokotskaya tundras on dog-sleds, traveling as far as the North Sea.

In his essay "Hearth," published during the pre-perestroika era, he tried to demonstrate the Armenian identity of Nagorno-Karabakh and identified Nakhichevan as historically belonging to Armenia.

He further regarded the Turks (including Azerbaijanis) as an enemy of both Russia and Armenia.

Azerbaijani historian Isa Gambar criticized Balayan's book in an article entitled Old Songs and New Legends.

1988

In 1988, he and Armenian poet Silva Kaputikyan were received by Mikhail Gorbachev and discussed the absence of Armenian-language television programs and textbooks in Nagorno-Karabakh schools as well as other concerns of Karabakh's majority-Armenian population.

1993

In October 1993, he signed the Letter of Forty-Two.

Balayan is a journalist for the weekly Russian-language publication Literaturnaya Gazeta.

Sometime after the end of the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, a number of Azerbaijani and Turkish sources began to quote a passage from a book supposedly written by Balayan titled Revival of Our Souls (sometimes given as Revival of Our Spirits as well), wherein he confesses to brutally murdering an Azerbaijani child during the war.

Balayan, as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, have come out to deny him having ever written such a book.

Ayşe Günaysu, a member of the Committee Against Racism and Discrimination of the Human Rights Association of Turkey (Istanbul branch), stated that "it should be quite obvious, from the language used in depicting the torture, that the quotation was wholly made up."

Onur Caymaz, a Turkish writer, who originally backed the allegation, stated that he was wrong and that Balayan never wrote such a book.

1994

Azerbaijani authorities allege that Balayan was involved in a terrorist bombing of the metro in Baku in 1994.

In a letter to Balayan, the general secretary of Interpol, however, stated that the agency considered the complaint politically motivated and that it had removed Balayan from its wanted list as a result.

Balayan's views on the annexation of Crimea by Russia and alleged lobbying activities were criticized by some Armenian politicians, including Igor Muradyan and Levon Ter-Petrosian.

2013

Balayan's letter to Vladimir Putin, in which he implies that both Armenia and Karabakh are Russian soil, met harsh criticism in Armenia in 2013.
