In 1964, thanks to the efforts of the Paris-based Armenian scholar Haïg Berbérian (1887–1978), the journal was revived. Berbérian was able to secure the financial backing of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation for the journal's publication, and the first volume of the "Nouvelle série" appeared under his editorship in 1964.[3] However, the publication of articles on the modern period of Armenian history was abandoned, and the journal has since limited its scope from ancient to early modern period history (that is, until roughly the eighteenth century).[1]
Up until 1933, articles were published in French, but when publication resumed articles were also published in English and German.[2][4] The journal uses the Hübschmann-Meillet-Benveniste system in the transcription of Armenian words into Latin characters. In addition to scholarly articles, it also publishes book reviews.
The former editors of the journal during the new series were Émile Benveniste (nominally, 1964-1975, as Berbérian was responsible for much of the editing during this time), Georges Dumézil (1975-1980), and Sirarpie Der-Nersessian (1981–1989).[2] Its current editor is Aram Mardirossian.
