		If in the political aspect such centrifugal situation was unfavorable and insecure for the country (the Seljuk conquers in the 11th century come to prove that), the development of the national culture in each of the principalities, conditioned by the local preferences, had specific characteristics.
		Vaspurakan school is the biggest one both by its occupied territory (about 50 thousand square kilometers), the period of its activity (13th-17th centuries), centers (more than 30 major ones), the preserved amount of manuscripts (more than 1500 ones) and, finally, by the big number of painters and inscribers.
		Vaspurakan was one of the fifteen provinces of Old Armenia, which played an important role in the history of the cultural and political life of the Armenian people.
