Its courses of Armenian were officially announced as of on December 11th, 1798 and started indeed in 1799. Unfortunately Cirbied knew French badly and temporarily had to stop in 1801 to take again its activity only in 1811. Its establishment as professor by a decree of 1812, gone back to Moscow, had a great repercussion in the whole of will diapora Armenian.
