Forum of Ethnogeopolitics
Forum of EthnoGeoPolitics ! Figure 1: French Map of Iran or Persia in 1749 (drafted by Robert de Vaugoudy) in which Azerbaijan is shown below the Araxes River (Source: Pictures of the Planet). A Case of Historical Misconceptions?—Congressman Rohrabacher’s Letter to Hillary Clinton Regarding Azerbaijan Kaveh Farrokh Abstract United States Congressman Dana Rohrabacher—a former member of the Reagan Administration, who has represented several Californian congressional districts from 1989 till the present-day—dispatched a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2012 outlining support for the separation of Iranian Azerbaijan and the joining of this entity to the Republic of Azerbaijan. The letter promotes the notion of the historical existence of a Greater Azerbaijani kingdom that was divided by Iran and Russia during the early 19th century. This paper examines the treaties of Gulistan (1813) and Turkmenchai (1828) between Iran and Russia, historical sources and maps and other academic works to examine the validity of the “Greater Forum of EthnoGeoPolitics Vol.1 No.1 Spring 2013 9 Forum of EthnoGeoPolitics Azerbaijan” thesis. Examination of these sources, however, does not provide evidence for the existence of a “Greater Azerbaijan” in history. Instead these sources reveal the existence of ‘Azerbaijan’ as being a region and province within the Iranian realm since antiquity, located below (or south of ) the Araxes River; in contrast, the modern-day Republic of Azerbaijan is located north (or above) the Araxes River. It never existed under the title “Azerbaijan” until the arrival of the Musavats (1918) and then the Soviets (1920). -
The Relationship Between Mozafaria Complex and the Spatial Organization of Tabriz City from the Qara Qoyunlu to the Qajar Period
Bagh- e Nazar, 15 (68): 15-26 /Feb. 2019 DOI: 10.22034/bagh.2019.81651 Persian translation of this paper entitled: ارتباط مجموعۀ مظفریه با سازمان فضایی شهر تبریز از دورۀ قراقویونلوها تا دورۀ قاجار is also published in this issue of journal. The Relationship between Mozafaria Complex and the Spatial Organization of Tabriz City from the Qara Qoyunlu to the Qajar Period Shabnam Mohammadzadeh*1, Seyed Amir Mansouri2 1. Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Tehran 2. Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Tehran Received 2018/03/02 revised 2018/08/23 accepted 2018/08/30 available online 2019/01/21 Abstract Urban spatial organization is a subjective issue, reflecting the order resulted from the relationship between the city’s elements. Understanding the position and role of a city element in the city as a whole requires discovering its relationship with the spatial organization. In other words, the city’s order is like a system and a whole. Based on the theory of city’s spatial organization, the current study is an attempt to investigate the relationship between Mozafaria Complex and the city’s spatial organization indicators in Tabriz City. In other words, this study examined the role of this complex in the whole system of the city from the time of the Qara Qoyunlu to the Qajar. In this study, the systemic role of Mozafaria Complex is not limited to its function and its features. The impetus behind this study is to discover the features defined in relation to other elements of the city. The method of the study is descriptive-analytical and deductive-exploratory; the library-research method was also used for data collection. -

Finally, lately in the 8th century, Amir Timur thrived from Transoxiana in northeastern Iran, and gradually made obedient Iran and surrounding countries. However, in the Northwest of Iran, Turkmen tribes reigned but during the Timurid raids they had returned to obedience, and just as withdrawal of the Timurid troops, they were quickly back their former power. These clans and tribes sometimes were troublesome to the Ottoman Empires and Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt. Due to the remoteness of these regions of Timurid Capital and, more importantly, lack of permanent government administrations and organizations of the Timurid capital, following Amir Timur’s death, because of dynastic struggles among his Sons and Grandsons, the Turkmens under these conditions were increasing their power and then they had challenged the Timurid princes. The most important goals of this study has focused on investigation of their relationships and struggles. How and why Timurid Empire has begun to combat against Qara Qoyunlu and Aq Qoyunlu Turkmens; what were the reasons for the failure of the Timurid deal with them, these are the questions that we try to find the answers in our study. -
Timur in the Political Tradition and Historiography of Mughal India

Timur’s image in India before the establishment of the Indian Timurid (“Mughal”) dynasty in 526, was naturally coloured by the experience of his invasion of 397-99. This can be seen from the account of this event in ,ahya Sihrindi’s T rikh-e Mob raksh hi, which was completed in .3., though the portion containing the account of Timur’s invasion was probably written much earlier . It was, therefore, practically contemporaneous with, and is certainly completely independent of, Sharaf al-Din 01li ,a2di’s afar-n ma, which was probably completed in .2.-5, and contains the most detailed version from the official Timurid point of view2. 1 compari- son of the two narratives is 3uite instructive. Despite some slips in the Indian account, li4e ma4ing Timur go to Multan from Tulamba, or placing his occupation of Delhi late by one month, it does give some dates and details of Pir Mohammad’s attac4 on 5chh and Multan, 397-98, which are lac4ing in ,a2di. -
Maria Paleologina and the Il-Khanate of Persia. a Byzantine Princess in an Empire Between Islam and Christendom
MARIA PALEOLOGINA AND THE IL-KHANATE OF PERSIA. A BYZANTINE PRINCESS IN AN EMPIRE BETWEEN ISLAM AND CHRISTENDOM MARÍA ISABEL CABRERA RAMOS UNIVERSIDAD DE GRANADA SpaIN Date of receipt: 26th of January, 2016 Final date of acceptance: 12th of July, 2016 ABSTRACT In the 13th century Persia, dominated by the Mongols, a Byzantine princess, Maria Paleologina, stood out greatly in the court of Abaqa Khan, her husband. The Il-Khanate of Persia was then an empire precariously balanced between Islam, dominant in its territories and Christianity that was prevailing in its court and in the diplomatic relations. The role of Maria, a fervent Christian, was decisive in her husband’s policy and in that of any of his successors. Her figure deserves a detailed study and that is what we propose in this paper. KEYWORDS Maria Paleologina, Il-khanate of Persia, Abaqa, Michel VIII, Mongols. CapitaLIA VERBA Maria Paleologa, Ilkhanatus Persiae, Abaqa, Michael VIII, Mongoles. IMAGO TEMPORIS. MEDIUM AEVUM, XI (2017): 217-231 / ISSN 1888-3931 / DOI 10.21001/itma.2017.11.08 217 218 MARÍA ISABEL CABRERA RAMOS 1. Introduction The great expansion of Genghis Khan’s hordes to the west swept away the Islamic states and encouraged for a while the hopes of the Christian states of the East. The latter tried to ally themselves with the powerful Mongols and in this attempt they played the religion card.1 Although most of the Mongols who entered Persia, Iraq and Syria were shamanists, Nestorian Christianity exerted a strong influence among elites, especially in the court. That was why during some crucial decades for the history of the East, the Il-Khanate of Persia fluctuated between the consolidation of Christian influence and the approach to Islam, that despite the devastation brought by the Mongols in Persia,2 Iraq and Syria remained the dominant factor within the Il-khanate. -

INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting througli an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. -

Ilker- Evrim Binbas ̧ argues that the intellectuals in this period developed informal networks which transcended political and linguistic boundaries, and spanned an area from the western fringes of the Ottoman state to bustling late medieval metropolises such as Cairo, Shiraz, and Samarkand. Among many others, the network included an Ottoman revolutionary, a Mamluk prophet, a Timurid occultist, as well as physicians, astronomers, devotees of the secret sciences, and those political figures who believed that the network was a force to be taken seriously. Also discussing the formation of an early modern Islamicate republic of letters, this book offers fresh insights into the study of intellectual history beyond the limitations imposed by nationalist methodologies, established genres, and recognized literary traditions.

A Ph. D. THESIS on FUZULİ (FUZULİ HAKKINDA BİR DOKTORA ÇALIŞMASI) Dr. Hamide DEMİREL Thesis Which I Have Submitted To
A Ph. D. THESIS ON FUZULİ (FUZULİ HAKKINDA BİR DOKTORA ÇALIŞMASI) Dr. Hamide DEMİREL Thesis which I have submitted to the Faculty of Arts in the University of Durham for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy is "A STUDY OF THE POET FUZULI (c. 1480-1556) WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO HIS TURKISH, PERSIAN AND ARABIC DIVANS". In this article I have discussed few of his themes where the ideas seem to me to be good examples of Fuzuli's art and thought, and have attempted to assess his importance in Eastern literature. Muhammed Ibn Sulayman, known by the pen-name Fuzuli was one of the great Turkish poets of the later middle ages. He lived all his life in 'Iraq",1 and was buried at Karbala (963/1556). During his time cIraq was ruled by the White Sheep (Aq Qoyunlu) Turkman dynasty, by the Safavids (1508-1534) and by the Ottoman Turks. In 941 /1534 Baghdad fell without resistance to an Ottoman army under the Grand Vazir Ibrahim Pasha, and Sultan2 Sulayman entered the city, where he remained with the troops till the following spring. Fuzuli addressed qasidas (panegyric odes) to Sulayman, to Ibrahim Pasha, and to other members of the Sultan's entourage in Baghdad. In religion Fuzuli certainly seems to have been devoted to the Prophet's family, but his mystic outlook placed him above sectarianism. He wrote his works in the three important Islamic languages and in the literary genres current in his time. Four teen of his verse and prose works in three languages, Turkish, Persian, and Arabic, are definitely known, and there are other works which are attributed to him.
