Quant à la musique, mes premières compositions ont pris forme vers l’année 2007 sous forme de chansons que j’écrivais, composais et interprétais en chantant et jouant du setâr.

  • Iran and Turkey: the Yin and Yang of the Islamic World by Whitney Mason
    Iran and Turkey: The Yin and Yang of the Islamic World By Whitney Mason Since the zenith of Arab power in the tenth century; it's been a perennial con- tender for leadership of the entire Islamic world. A vast country of snow-capped mountains, high grazing lands and wind-whipped deserts bestriding a strategic land bridge between two seas, two worlds. A country of bewildering diversity often riven by localized insurrections yet ruled through most of its long history by a single hereditary monarch. A country torn between its fierce pride in its unique culture and its determination to escape servitude to the West by adopting the in- stitutions and technologies that for the last few centuries have allowed Europeans to dominate the world. A country that for centuries made painful sacrifices of sovereign rights in exchange for protection from its predatory neighbor to the north, Russia. A country where the ideological ferment of the 1920s swept the traditional monarchy from power and replaced it with an autocrat bent on west, ernizing his country at any cost including breaking the back of the religious establishment. A country where a progressive president committed to pluralism is now vying with entrenched interests whose power depends on the monopoli- zation of ideas in general and religion in particular. This description applies equally to two countries and to two countries alone: Turkey and Iran. Indeed, Turkey and Iran who represent, along with Egypt, the great pow- ers of the Middle East are mirror images of one another. Each regards the other as an apostate from a faith they once shared in common.

  • Freestyle in Azerbaijan | Norient.Com 4 Oct 2021 21:48:30
    Freestyle in Azerbaijan | norient.com 4 Oct 2021 21:48:30 Freestyle in Azerbaijan by Gerald Roche Since the collapse of the Soviet regime in Azerbaijan, pop music there has taken on a number of new forms. Traditional styles have been reworked and reinvented as consumer pop styles, and Western pop styles such as hip hop have been taken up enthusiastically by local musicians. These local and global styles have converged in unexpected ways. Azerbaijan sits nestled on the shores of the Caspian sea, at the crossroads of Europe and Southwest Asia. One of several Caucasus states precipitated out of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan is still, like its neighbours, dealing with the fallout from the redrawing of borders. Of great significance for the country is the conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region; formerly part of Azerbaijan under the Soviets, but occupied by Armenia since 1991. The war, at a cease-fire since 1994, has lead to a massive internal refugee problem (almost one in eight people in Azerbaijan is a refugee), plus continued border tension after the three-year-long conflict which claimed tens of thousands of lives. Pop music, however, has never been known to be kept down by war, famine, drought or any other sort of disaster (in fact disaster can and does promote pop music – think of the musical outpouring that followed the tsunami, not https://norient.com/index.php/stories/azerbaijan Page 1 of 4 Freestyle in Azerbaijan | norient.com 4 Oct 2021 21:48:30 just the concerts here, but also, for instance, in India).

    TOPICAL DIALOGUES N 8 2019 The present electronic bulletin “Topical Dialogues – 2019” was issued with the support of Black Sea Trust for Regional Cooperation (a project by the G. Marshall Fund). Opinions expressed in this bulletin do not necessarily represent those of the Black Sea Trust or its partners. 2 Content ONE TOPIC - TWO AUTHORS SUZANNA BARSEGHYAN (Armenia) The perceptions of the “enemy’s image” in Armenia -------------------------------5 ARIF YUNUSOV (Azerbaijan) Stereotypes and the “image of the enemy” in Azerbaijan--------------------------13 Arif Yunusov’s comment on Suzanna Barseghyan’s article ----------------------25 Suzanna Barseghyan’s comment on Arif Yunusov’s article ----------------------28 3 One topic covered by two authors In this issue of the bulletin we bring to you an Armenian and Azerbaijani authors' views of the origin and functions of the image of the enemy in their respective societies. And in the “Comments to the Articles” section , the Armenian and Azerbaijani authors commented on each other’s articles. Judging by the content of these comments, the discussion at distance could still be continued by a whole series of new comments. But both the articles and these first comments reflect both the attitude to the opposite side in each country, and the perception of this attitude at the moment. The materials were prepared within the framework of the “Public Dialogues for Communication between Armenian and Azerbaijani Specialists” project, implemented by the “Region” Research Center. The project is supported by the Black Sea Trust for Regional Cooperation (BST). The project partner is the Institute for Peace and Democracy (the Netherlands). The "Public Dialogues" website (www.publicdialogues.info) was created in 2012 by the “Region” Research Center and the Institute for Peace and Democracy which operated in Azerbaijan at the time.

  • The Enlightenment Movement and Cultural Revival In
    THE ENLIGHTENMENT MOVEMENT AND CULTURAL REVIVAL IN AZERBAIJAN IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY By Turkay Gasimova Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Alfred J. Rieber Second Reader: Professor Karl Hall CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2016 Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, either in full or part, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library. Details may be obtained from the librarian. This page must form a part of any such copies made. Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author. CEU eTD Collection i Abstract In this thesis I focus on the late 19th century Azerbaijani history from the perspective of intellectual history. I mainly talk about the Enlightenment Movement with an emphasize on the intellectual debates on Religion and Secularism. Intellectual influences of the newly emerged intelligentsia with a special focus on cultural and intellectual life in Baku is also one of the main focal points of the presented work. My main argument in the thesis is that, without cultural and intellectual revival of late 19th century, which became possible with Baku oil boom, establishing the first Democratic Republic in Muslim world in 1918 wouldn’t be possible. I start with Baku Oil Boom of 1870s and continue with the establishment of the first Azerbaijani newspaper, “Akinchi” and then after examining the main intellectual debates, I conclude the thesis with the two most influential Azerbaijani intellectuals of the late 19th century.
