Archaeological tourism consists of two main activities: visits to archaeological excavation sites and participation in the studies undertaken there. The target group of archaeological tourism includes intellectuals and various people having an interest in archaeology. Any politician, bank employee, doctor, artist or other professional or working person can now spend their vacation at the archaeological excavation site of which they’ve dreamed. The development of this tourism focus area presents a novel product to the tourism economy and increases innovation in archaeology. Three main paths must be followed in order to successfully offer an archaeological tourism product: research, conservation and promotion. Projects in the domain of archaeological tourism in Azerbaijan that have been realized in the last years are: “Medieval Agsu Town Archaeological Tourism Complex” and “Development and Promotion of archaeological tourism in Azerbaijan.” These are the first projects of this kind. Medieval Agsu Town Archaeological Tourism project is an independent project of MIRAS Organization, a specialized NGO in the field of study, protection and promotion of the cultural heritage of Azerbaijan and realized in collaboration with ANAS National Museum of History of Azerbaijan and ANAS Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Azerbaijan and Agsu regional Executive Power supported the project. Agsu Town built by the founder of the Afshar State, Nader shah, who came to power in the 1730s, was the largest city in the Caucasus at that time. Agsu Archaeological Expedition studied in 2010-2012 1,5 hectare of 40 hectares of the area and covered the excavation sites with metal construction and conserved the finds and exposition halls installed inside that. Experts value the Medieval Agsu Town Archaeological Tourism project as a scientific innovation. This complex is available for tourists in all seasons and it is possible to see excavation sites on the spot. Books, seminars, conferences and info-tours have increased the effectiveness of this archaeological tourism project, which received 8000 tourists in 2013. “The Development and Promotion of Archaeological Tourism in Azerbaijan” project is also an independent project of MIRAS Organization and funded by the Council of State Support to Non-Governmental Organizations under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The project covered August, September, October months in 2011 and included seminars at universities, the publication of “Azerbaijani Pearls” brochure promoting archaeological tourism and perspective monuments, the production of the “Azerbijan land of monuments" documentary and creation of the www.archaeotourism.az web portal. We intend to promote archaeological tourism in Azerbaijan as a new field of tourism. 3 There is a need for education in archaeological tourism in educational institutions that focus on tourism. However ‘archaeological tourism’ is only one part of the promotional task as an understanding of the surroundings and the social climate is also required. Classes must be developed in accordance with the archaeological tourism potential of the specific monuments. Neither international nor European values regarding archaeological tourism have been codified yet. We are willing to support the formation of archaeological tourism values while also developing this field in the Eurasian region generally and the Turkic- Islamic area in particular. The research done in the field of archaeological tourism, including local and international projects, has shown that this tourism field will improve governmental- private-NGO relations and will be still more attractive in the future. 4 ABOUT THE “CITIES OF COMMON CULTURAL HERITAGE” PROJECT The “Cities of Common Cultural Heritage” project on international archeological-tourism route development submitted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Azerbaijan was entitled to receive the grant provided by COMCEC (Committee for Economic and Commercial Cooperation of the Organization of the Islamic Conference) Coordination Office. The Project included the assessment of potentially attractive cultural-historical sites and common cultural heritage in 4 countries (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkey) for inclusion into the joint product development. It especially focuses on the Japanese and European tourism market, as well as on arrivals from Islamic countries. Furthermore, it will serve for promoting the Islamic historical - cultural heritage and tourism potential of these countries at an international level. The Project aims at enhancing tourism exchange and increasing tourism arrivals to the COMCEC region by exchange of practices in the relevant sphere and by developing and promoting joint tourism products in these countries. It will contribute to bring the tourism sector to an internationally competitive level and ensure sustainable tourism development in COMCEC region by raising awareness of the existing destinations with their cultural sites and attractions at the targeted source markets. Within the framework of the project comparative analysis of relevant tourism resources and practices in the respective four countries was performed, joint tourism product was created: the thematic route was developed and tourism packages were composed. For this purpose the project experts have made on site visits to the pilot regions in Azerbaijan, Turkey, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. The purpose of these visits were to provide comparative analysis of relevant tourism resources and practices in these regions, detailed assessment of destinations and common cultural heritage in four countries providing necessary information regarding the creation of archeological- historical route and tourism packages. Regional experts from other countries (for the realization of the project in each country) were attracted. As a result of these site visits and analyses the experts have prepared draft report, which included all collected information based on analysis and recommendations for creation of the joint product. As a next step of the project implementation 3 day workshop was organized in Baku. Representatives from relevant countries were attracted to this work-shop with a view to discuss and negotiate all aspects of creation of the joint product on common cultural heritage of the relevant cities based on budget availability of interested groups. Participants consisted of experts from the cultural heritage and tourism industry from the participating countries, Azerbaijani public and private sector representatives and other relevant institutions. Representatives from mass media were also attracted during the workshop with a view to promote the results of the project. The new product will 5 include international cultural route along archeological-historical sites covering all 4 countries. It is deemed to be realized by 4-5 and/or 2-3 days tour packages in each country. Potential tourists will be able to choose the whole route package or any of these countries for traveling. They will be able to make sightseeing tours along these sites and/or actively participate in archeological excavations. As a last step of the project Final report was prepared. 6 Executive Summary Tourism is consisted as a wealth of any country. All countries promote their tourism potentials and try to attract tourists. In some cases, neighbouring countries collaborate with each other to arrange international tourism routes as well. The “Cities of Common Cultural Heritage” project prepared and realized by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Azerbaijan Republic with the financial support of the COMCEC Coordination Office seeks to achieve this objective and presents the first international tourism route that combines four Turkic-Islamic countries. The project was aiming to investigate and research archaeological tourism opportunities in pilot destinations at the first phase. The main purpose was to identify old Turkic-Islamic cultural relationships between the four countries and to link the relevance of cultural heritage such as nature, touristic appearances, attractions and etc. This project looks into the pre-Islamic history of Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, as well as Scythians and Saks, as well as the history, culture, and art in this region during the arrival of Islam, rule of Seljuk, Elkhani, Timurid, Chagatai, Karakoyunlu, Akkooyunlu, Safavid, Ottoman, sultanates and khanates. The Project also enabled studies on the archaeology,

  • Irreverent Persia
    Irreverent Persia IRANIAN IRANIAN SERIES SERIES Poetry expressing criticism of social, political and cultural life is a vital integral part of IRREVERENT PERSIA Persian literary history. Its principal genres – invective, satire and burlesque – have been INVECTIVE, SATIRICAL AND BURLESQUE POETRY very popular with authors in every age. Despite the rich uninterrupted tradition, such texts FROM THE ORIGINS TO THE TIMURID PERIOD have been little studied and rarely translated. Their irreverent tones range from subtle (10TH TO 15TH CENTURIES) irony to crude direct insults, at times involving the use of outrageous and obscene terms. This anthology includes both major and minor poets from the origins of Persian poetry RICCARDO ZIPOLI (10th century) up to the age of Jâmi (15th century), traditionally considered the last great classical Persian poet. In addition to their historical and linguistic interest, many of these poems deserve to be read for their technical and aesthetic accomplishments, setting them among the masterpieces of Persian literature. Riccardo Zipoli is professor of Persian Language and Literature at Ca’ Foscari University, Venice, where he also teaches Conceiving and Producing Photography. The western cliché about Persian poetry is that it deals with roses, nightingales, wine, hyperbolic love-longing, an awareness of the transience of our existence, and a delicate appreciation of life’s fleeting pleasures. And so a great deal of it does. But there is another side to Persian verse, one that is satirical, sardonic, often obscene, one that delights in ad hominem invective and no-holds barred diatribes. Perhaps surprisingly enough for the uninitiated reader it is frequently the same poets who write both kinds of verse.

  • Dessert Menu
    MADO MENU DESSERTS From Karsambac to Mado Ice cream: Flavor’s Journey throughout the History From Karsambac to Mado Ice-cream: Flavors’ Journey throughout the History Mado Ice-cream, which has earned well-deserved fame all over the world with its unique flavor, has a long history of 300 years. This is the history of the “step by step” transformation of a savor tradition called Karsambac (snow mix) that entirely belongs to Anatolia. Karsambac is made by mixing layers of snow - preserved on hillsides and valleys via covering them with leaves and branches - with fruit extracts in hot summer days. In time, this mixture was enriched with other ingredients such as milk, honey, and salep, and turned into the well-known unique flavor of today. The secret of the savor of Mado Ice-cream lies, in addition to this 300 year-old tradition, in the climate and geography where it is produced. This unique flavor is obtained by mixing the milk of animals that are fed on thyme, milk vetch and orchid flowers on the high plateaus on the hillsides of Ahirdagi, with sahlep gathered from the same area. All fruit flavors of Maras Ice-cream are also made through completely natural methods, with pure cherries, lemons, strawberries, oranges and other fruits. Mado is the outcome of the transformation of our traditional family workshop that has been ice-cream makers for four generations, into modern production plants. Ice-cream and other products are prepared under cutting edge hygiene and quality standards in these world-class modern plants and are distributed under necessary conditions to our stores across Turkey and abroad; presented to the appreciation of your gusto, the esteemed gourmet.

  • 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.

Key Words: Trans-Caspian Railway, Kagan, Cotton, Factories, Trade, Sale, Cotton Cleaning Machines & Pressing The Impact of the Construction of the Transcaspian Railway on the Economic and Trade Relations between Russia and Bukhara: The transformation of Turkestan into a colony, the Bukhara and Khiva khanates into semi-colony opened wide opportunities for the penetration of Russian industrial goods to Central Asia and export of local raw materials to Russia. But traditional historical caravan transportations could not ensure the uninterrupted delivery of a growing scale of goods turnover from one end to the other and back. Of great importance in resolving this matter was the construction of the first major railway line, Transcaspian, which connected Russian industry with Central Asian raw materials and sales market.

  • The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan
    The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan George Fiske Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 George Fiske All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan George Fiske This study examines the socioeconomics of state formation in medieval Afghanistan in historical and historiographic terms. It outlines the thousand year history of Ghaznavid historiography by treating primary and secondary sources as a continuum of perspectives, demonstrating the persistent problems of dynastic and political thinking across periods and cultures. It conceptualizes the geography of Ghaznavid origins by framing their rise within specific landscapes and histories of state formation, favoring time over space as much as possible and reintegrating their experience with the general histories of Iran, Central Asia, and India. Once the grand narrative is illustrated, the scope narrows to the dual process of monetization and urbanization in Samanid territory in order to approach Ghaznavid obstacles to state formation. The socioeconomic narrative then shifts to political and military specifics to demythologize the rise of the Ghaznavids in terms of the framing contexts described in the previous chapters. Finally, the study specifies the exact combination of culture and history which the Ghaznavids exemplified to show their particular and universal character and suggest future paths for research.

Perspectives on the Ghaznavid Age History of the literature Entrance into western European discourse Reevaluations of the last century Historiographic rethinking Synopsis III.

  • De-Persifying Court Culture the Khanate of Khiva’S Translation Program
    10 De-Persifying Court Culture The Khanate of Khiva’s Translation Program Marc Toutant Despite the expansion of Turkish-speaking populations and the efforts of several Turko-Mongol dynasties to promote the use of Chaghatai Turkish after the thir- teenth-century era of the Mongol Empire, Persian remained a favored language all over Central Asia in chanceries and belles-lettres till as late as the nineteenth century.1 Only a small proportion of the literature created in Central Asia was in Chaghatai Turkish (hereafter simply called Turkish), and Persian was the ma- jor medium of learned expression in all parts of the region, as Devin DeWeese’s chapter 4 in this volume reminds us. And as Alfrid Bustanov’s chapter 7 shows, even in distant Tatar villages of the Russian Empire, where there were no native speakers of Persian, the classics of Persian ethical literature were widely copied in local madrasas, where some students even tried to compose their own literary works in Persian. Nevertheless, the status of Persian as lingua franca did not remain unchal- lenged in Central Asia. Over the course of the fifteenth century, cultural patronage under the Timurid rulers brought about the composition of numerous Turkish texts in diverse fields of learning. At the court of the last great Timurid ruler, Husayn Bayqara (r. 1469–70, 1470–1506), one of the most important corpora of Central Asian Turkish literature was written by Mir ‘Ali Shir Nawa’i (1441–1501). Albeit largely based on Persian models, the works of Nawa’i can be regarded as an attempt to forge a culture that was specific to his Turkophone audience.
