  • Speaking Names and Numbers of the Great Kyrgyz Epic “Manas”
    Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi Sayı: 15 2006 SPEAKING NAMES AND NUMBERS OF THE GREAT KYRGYZ EPIC “MANAS” Zina KARAYEVA∗ Abstract The main idea is to discuss if the names and numbers have direct meaning or they may be based on the connotations that are hidden in the names. In western culture names may consist of two main elements like the name “William”, it means “Wille or will”, or resolution and “helm”- or helmet, as the result of that the name “William” means “will helmet”, but not the “helmet” of the will. Classification of the names according to their thematic function may be done in two ways 1) on the basis of the denotative meaning, here we mean logical ∗ International University of Kyrgyzstan 2005-2006 A month research in the Moscow State University with the post doc paper. 2004-2005 Two month research in the national library of Moscow September-October.

It covers events and developments of 2010 and 2011. The fact that NCH presents this news does not imply that it shares the views and beliefs of the historians and others mentioned in it. The complete set of Annual Reports (1995–2011) was compiled by Antoon De Baets. Please send any comments to: <[email protected]>.

Network of Concerned Historians, Annual Report 2011 (June 2011) 2 ____________________________________________________________ AFGHANISTAN Last Annual Report entry: 2010. In early 2010, the National Stability and Reconciliation bill was officially promulgated, granting immunity from criminal prosecution to people who committed serious human rights violations and war crimes over the past thirty years. In March 2007, a coalition of powerful warlords in parliament pushed through the amnesty law to prevent prosecution of individuals responsible for large-scale human rights abuses in the preceding decades. It was not publicized and promulgated until early 2010. It was revived in 2010 to facilitate amnesties for reconciliation and reintegration of the Taliban and the islamist political party Hezb-i Islami Gulbuddin. In the absence of a practical justice system to address the lack of accountability by the warring parties, the government was urged to ask the International Criminal Court to investigate allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by all parties to the conflict.

  • WORKSHOPS PROGRAMME Final Program 23 June
    RESEARCH WORKSHOP: “PEACE BUILDING IN FERGHANA VALLEY” National, religious, ethnic, group and gender identities are being re-conceptualized as borders between the Central Asian societies are defined. Redefinition of collective identities and their relations with distribution of powers may create conflicts between different communities and ethnic groups. In Ferghana Valley, there have been several conflicts happened after the collapse of Soviet Union. These conflicts produced animosity and bloody clashes between ethnic groups and communities in the Valley. The last clash between ethnic communities was in June 2010 in the Southern Kyrgyzstan. After the violent conflict, international organizations and NGOs, foreign countries as well as Kyrgyzstan transitional government and local authorities have implemented several projects of peace-building in the region. Peace-building is as an engagement to identify and support structures which will tend to fortify and solidify peace in order to avoid a fall back into the conflict or (re)building institutions and infrastructure within a conflictual area to create conditions favorable to peace. Therefore, the workshop has two important inter-related topics: identity-based conflicts and peace-building. While there has relatively been stable condition and an increase in the numbers of peace building activities in the Valley, the change of local political structure, the fluidity of inter- ethnic relationships, and post-conflict narrative of violence may again create a potential hotspot in the region.
