The Meter and the Literary Language of Gūrānī Poetry
The Meter and the Literary Language of Gūrānī Poetry Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades der Doktorin der Philosophie an der Fakultät für Geisteswissenschaften der Universität Hamburg Asien-Afrika-Institut vorgelegt von Parvin Mahmoudveysi Hamburg 2016 1. Gutachter: Herr Professor Dr. Ludwig Paul 2. Gutachter: Herr Professor Dr. Philip G. Kreyenbroek Datum der Disputation: 04 März 2016 To my best friends: Kobra, Rebin, Denise and Nick Acknowledgements As the author of this thesis, I wish to acknowledge the support of many friends who helped me in this work. First of all, I would like to honor my colleague, Carsten Bettermann, who sadly forever left us at a young age. I was lucky to have many interesting discussions with him about the form of Old and Middle Iranian versification. Furthermore I had the good fortune to participate in his courses on Avestan and Middle Persian. He even kindly arranged a course for versification in Avestan. He greatly supported me as I prepared the section in this dissertation on Old Iranian languages. The death of this unbelievably talented person was a great loss for all the colleagues and students in the Asien-Afrika-Institut at the University of Hamburg. I would like to thank my professors Ludwig Paul, Philip Kreyenbroek, and Omid Tabibzadeh, who during the course of my studies have always supported me. I owe a debt of gratitude to two kind friends, Peter Keil and his wife Marie-Luise Keil, for their support. Peter Keil very kindly translated for me ten articles from French into German (Jean Kellens 2006; Jerzy Kuryłowicz 1952 and 1972; Gilbert Lazard 1984, 1985, and 1990; Antonie Meillet 1900 and 1925; Eric Pirart 2004; Hermann Trödel 1874). -

The preseismic condition of the buildings in the town was assessed based on a long sequential SAR coherence (LSSC) method, in which we considered 55 of the 56 images to produce a coherence decay model with climatic and temporal parameters. -

NLA Crushes Offensives by the Regeimes Gaurds
NLA Crushes Offensives by the Regeimes Gaurds As the Gulf War ended, the mullahs ruling Iran suddenly did an aboutface in a bid to take advantage of the prevailing circumstances. Under the pretext of an “Islamic Revolution in Iraq,” they sought to realize Khomeini’s dream of exporting medieval fundamentalism and seizing power in Iraq, and at the same time destroy Iranian Resistance’s military arm, the National Liberation Army of Iran. Frustrating the Khomeini regime’s designs, the NLA crushed all the attacks, from March 10 to April 2, by the regime’s 25,000 invading forces. NLA units dealt the enemy a heavy military blow in a series of operations code- named Pearl after the Morvarid mountains where they took place.The regime’s offensive was a fiasco and drew statements of concern by the international commuinty. Initial Evidence as Plot Takes Shape On March 11, the People’s Mojahedin of Iran released a statement warning that documents obtained from within the Khomeini regime, intercepted Guards Corps radio communications, and Arrows show Gaurds Corps’ main thrust against NLA mander-in-Chief and Commander of the operation to occupy Iraq; and Ahmad Vahidi, Head of intelligence for the GC General Command and Commander of the extra-territorial or Qods Force, were headquartered at Ramazan Garrison in Kermanshah. Morteza Qorbani, Commander of Najaf Garrison, also located in Kermanshah, was in charge of logistics for the offensive. Troops and supplies for the regime’s forces inside Iraqi territory were being sent from Najaf Garrison. Rewrite, a sentence or two may be missing. -

Iran Chemical Chronology
Iran Chemical Chronology 2008-2004 | 2003-2002 | 2001-2000 | 1999-1998 | 1997-1996 1995-1990 | 1989-1988 | 1987 | 1986 | 1985 | 1984 | 1983-1929 Last update: October 2008 This annotated chronology is based on the data sources that follow each entry. Public sources often provide conflicting information on classified military programs. In some cases we are unable to resolve these discrepancies, in others we have deliberately refrained from doing so to highlight the potential influence of false or misleading information as it appeared over time. In many cases, we are unable to independently verify claims. Hence in reviewing this chronology, readers should take into account the credibility of the sources employed here. Inclusion in this chronology does not necessarily indicate that a particular development is of direct or indirect proliferation significance. Some entries provide international or domestic context for technological development and national policymaking. Moreover, some entries may refer to developments with positive consequences for nonproliferation. 2008-2004 23 January 2008 Speaking in Brussels Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalil states: "I assure you that the (chemical) weapons have no place in our defense doctrine." The context is made in the context of a discussion about Iranian actions during the Iran-Iraq war of 1980-1988 and is intended to support the proposition that Iran made no use of chemical weapons during that conflict. [This assertion may contradict a statement made at the OPCW in 1998 that Iran possessed CW in the latter stages of the war. See 18 November 1998.] — "Jalili: Chemical weapons have no place in Iran's defense doctrine," IRNA, 23 January 2008, www2.irna.ir. -
