My name is Andre Altherr and I’ll be your Crisis Director for the Cabinet of Armenia: 1920 committee. I’m from New York City and am currently a Second Year at the University of Chicago majoring in History and Political Science. Despite once having a social life, I now spend my free-time on much tamer activities like reading 800-page books on Armenian history, reading 900-page books on Central European history, and relaxing with the best of Stephen King and 20th century sci-fi anthologies. When not reading, I enjoy hiking, watching Frasier, and trying to catch up on much needed sleep. I’ve helped run and participated in numerous Model UN conferences in both college and high school, and I believe that this activity has the potential to hone public speaking, develop your creativity and critical thinking, and ignite interest in new fields. Devin and I care very deeply about making this committee an inclusive space in which all of you feel safe, comfortable, and motivated to challenge yourself to grow as a delegate, statesperson, and human. We trust that you will conduct yourselves with maturity and tact when discussing sensitive subjects.

ARMENIA AND THE ARMENIAN QUESTION SIMON VRATZIAN Translated from the Armenian By JAMES G. MANDALIAN $0¢ HATRENIK PUBLISHING COMPANY BOSTON 1943 No future peace can permanently be maintained unless the downfall of present day dictatorships is followed by the establishment of those factors which make peace enduring, foremost among which is the principle of the rights of national freedom and of self- determination. This is the reason why the Atlantic Charter-the official expression of our war aims-gives first place to the national questions. "They desire to see no territorial changes that do not accord with the freely expressed wishes of the peoples concerned. "They respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live; and they wish to see sovereign rights and self-govern- ment restored to those who have been forcibly de- prived of them." The Armenians are one of those peoples whose fatherland has been forcibly seized; consequently, they are a people who have been forcibly deprived of "sovereign rights and self-government." After the present war of liberation, together with all other countries which have been deprived of their freedom, Armenia, too, expects the restoration of her bounda- vii ries, her lost freedom and her sovereign right to take her place in the family of nations.

PAMA Championships 2064 solar years ago, on this day in 45 BC, the Julian calendar took effect Abacus and Mental Arithmetic as the civil calendar of the Roman Empire, establishing January 1 as the new Championships hosted by date of the New Year, and thus it has no connection with either Prophet Jesus (PuH) or with Christianity. It replaced the Roman years “Ab Urbe Condita” or Malaysia on Sunday. AUC which means “from the founding of the city (of Rome)”. In the year 709 Iran participated in the AUC, Julius Caesar established for his empire, a calendar based on a solar year of international event with 35 boys twelve months, and a total of 365 days. The year 45 has been called the “year of and girls, 29 of whom managed to confusion,” because in that year Julius Caesar inserted 90 days to try to make the win first place in the ‘champion’ months of the Roman calendar conform to the seasons.

  • On the Modern Politicization of the Persian Poet Nezami Ganjavi
    Official Digitized Version by Victoria Arakelova; with errata fixed from the print edition ON THE MODERN POLITICIZATION OF THE PERSIAN POET NEZAMI GANJAVI YEREVAN SERIES FOR ORIENTAL STUDIES Edited by Garnik S. Asatrian Vol.1 SIAVASH LORNEJAD ALI DOOSTZADEH ON THE MODERN POLITICIZATION OF THE PERSIAN POET NEZAMI GANJAVI Caucasian Centre for Iranian Studies Yerevan 2012 Siavash Lornejad, Ali Doostzadeh On the Modern Politicization of the Persian Poet Nezami Ganjavi Guest Editor of the Volume Victoria Arakelova The monograph examines several anachronisms, misinterpretations and outright distortions related to the great Persian poet Nezami Ganjavi, that have been introduced since the USSR campaign for Nezami‖s 800th anniversary in the 1930s and 1940s. The authors of the monograph provide a critical analysis of both the arguments and terms put forward primarily by Soviet Oriental school, and those introduced in modern nationalistic writings, which misrepresent the background and cultural heritage of Nezami. Outright forgeries, including those about an alleged Turkish Divan by Nezami Ganjavi and falsified verses first published in Azerbaijan SSR, which have found their way into Persian publications, are also in the focus of the authors‖ attention. An important contribution of the book is that it highlights three rare and previously neglected historical sources with regards to the population of Arran and Azerbaijan, which provide information on the social conditions and ethnography of the urban Iranian Muslim population of the area and are indispensable for serious study of the Persian literature and Iranian culture of the period. ISBN 978-99930-69-74-4 The first print of the book was published by the Caucasian Centre for Iranian Studies in 2012.

Turkish literature (Turkish: Türk edebiyatı or Türk yazını) comprises both oral compositions and written texts in the Turkish language, either in its Ottoman form or in less exclusively literary forms, such as that spoken in the Republic of Turkey today. The Ottoman Turkish language, which forms the basis of much of the written corpus, was influenced by Persian and Arabic and used the Ottoman Turkish alphabet. The history of the broader Turkic literature spans a period of nearly 1,300 years. The oldest extant records of written Turkic are the Orhon inscriptions, found in the Orhon River valley in central Mongolia and dating to the 7th century. Subsequent to this period, between the 9th and 11th centuries, there arose among the nomadic Turkic peoples of Central Asia a tradition of oral epics, such as the Book of Dede Korkut of the Oghuz Turks—the linguistic and cultural ancestors of the modern Turkish people—and the Manas epic of the Kyrgyz people. Beginning with the victory of the Seljuks at the Battle of Manzikert in the late 11th century, the Oghuz Turks began to settle in Anatolia, and in addition to the earlier oral traditions there arose a written literary tradition issuing largely—in terms of themes, genres, and styles— from Arabic and Persian literature.
