Hamlet Isaxanli in Search of “Khazar”
Hamlet Isaxanli In Search of “Khazar” 2 In Search of "Khazar" The realities of events associated with the establishment and development of Khazar University have left indelible traces in my memory. I intend to pass these events to you in their entirety and in all sincerity. I hope I can relive together with you, readers, those days spent in ‘search of "Khazar". In Search of "Khazar" 3 CHAPTER 1 BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH For a number of years I was familiarizing myself with different universities all over the world, whilst gathering my thoughts on science and education in my own country, Azerbaijan. These ideas and comparisons were taking a distinctive shape in my imagination - the shape of a university. Novel ideas and thoughts seemingly appear unexpectedly, but in reality they are a result of long and intensive subconscious efforts. The information that we absorb, accept and keep in our minds is explored and analyzed in invisible and imperceptible ways. Accor- ding to some hypotheses, this way is simply called a harmonization, putting thoughts into a correct and beautiful order. In this process, suddenly everything falls into place and an idea appears as a patch of light. The first place where I studied after Azerbaijan was Moscow State University. I spent long years there first studying and then researching mathematics. The university’s extremely high scientific potential and pleasant and creative atmosphere seemed to be a new world to me. Later I traveled more and came across more varied systems at universities in Canada and in Europe. I didn’t content myself solely with giving lectures, presenting papers at different conferences, workshops, and conducting new research. -

3 Historical and Political Geography
World Regional Geography Book Series Series Editor E.F.J. de Mulder Haarlem, The Netherlands What does Finland mean to a Fin, Sichuan to a Shichuanian, and California to a Californian? How are physical and human geographical factors reflected in their present-day inhabitants? And how are these factors interrelated? How does history, culture, socio-economy, language and demography impact and characterize and identify an average person in such regions today? How does that determine her or his well-being, behaviour, ambitions and perspectives for the future? These are the type of questions that are central to The World Regional Geography Book Series, where physically and socially coherent regions are being characterized by their roots and future perspectives described through a wide variety of scientific disciplines. The Book Series presents a dynamic overall and in-depth picture of specific regions and their people. In times of globalization renewed interest emerges for the region as an entity, its people, its land- scapes and their roots. Books in this Series will also provide insight in how people from dif- ferent regions in the world will anticipate on and adapt to global challenges as climate change and to supra-regional mitigation measures. This, in turn, will contribute to the ambitions of the International Year of Global Understanding to link the local with the global, to be proclaimed by the United Nations as a UN-Year for 2016, as initiated by the International Geographical Union. Submissions to the Book Series are also invited on the theme ‘The Geography of…’, with a relevant subtitle of the authors/editors choice. -

Language Policy and National Identity in Georgia
Language Policy and National Identity in Georgia A thesis submitted for the degree of PhD to Queen Mary University of London 2011 Rusudan Amirejibi-Mullen Linguistics Abstract Language has been long recognised as a powerful marker of national identity, as has its role in transforming multi-ethnic societies into unified nations. Such is the case of multi-ethnic and multilingual Georgia, where language has today become a crucial factor in interethnic relations and in the Georgian nation-building process. This thesis sheds light on the nature of kartveloba (Georgianness) by examining Georgian language policy over the entire history of the nation. Despite the country’s long-standing civilisation and its established culture, Georgian statehood began to decline from the second half of the thirteenth century, until the country was eventually incorporated into the Russian empire at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Since then, there have been several attempts to instigate a ‘national revival’: 1) the cultural/linguistic movement of the nineteenth century, 2) the struggle to build a nation-state in 1918-1921, 3) the national liberation movement during the Soviet period (1921-1991), and 4) nation- state building in the post-Soviet period. All of these periods display common features with regard to language policy. 2 After investigating language policy and identity developments in the pre- modern period, this thesis examines Georgia under Russian rule (both Tsarist and Soviet), which made the country vulnerable to ethnic conflicts, and tries to explain the violent outcomes. The thesis goes on to examine public debate of language and minority issues, as well as efforts to elaborate inclusive language and ethnic policies in contemporary Georgia. -
L' Azerbaïdjan
L’ Azerbaïdjan : pays de traditions et d’avenir 8 - 31 JUILLET 2014 L’AZERBAÏDJAN À CANNES 1 Les relations culturelles entre la France et l’Azerbaïdjan Les relations culturelles favorisent le dialogue et la compréhension entre les peuples, indépendamment des origines ethniques ou de l’appartenance religieuse de leurs représentants. L'organisation de l'exposition « Azerbaïdjan : pays de traditions et d’avenir » par la Fondation Heydar Aliyev dans diverses régions françaises est une merveilleuse contribution à l’enrichissement mutuel de nos cultures respectives, permettant une meilleure connaissance de nos peuples. À travers cette exposition, nous vous présentons l’Azerbaïdjan et son patrimoine culturel dont l’importance au sein du patrimoine de l’humanité n’est plus à démontrer. Dans l’Orient musulman, l’Azerbaïdjan est la patrie du premier théâtre laïque, du premier opéra, du premier ballet, de la première Académie nationale des Sciences. Vous pourrez voir dans cette exposition des échantillons de notre culture originelle trouvés lors de fouilles archéologiques en Azerbaïdjan, des objets en cuivre, des instruments de musique anciens, des tapis aux motifs mystérieux hérités à travers les siècles, des costumes traditionnels, etc. L’Azerbaïdjan est aujourd’hui connu pour être un pays tolérant où vivent depuis des siècles des peuples différents qui entretiennent des relations d’amitié et de fraternité, qui pratiquent des religions différentes dans un esprit de respect et de confiance. Valorisant cet atout historique, la Fondation Heydar Aliyev poursuit cette tradition en prenant part au dialogue entre les différentes cultures et religions à travers ses actions de mécénat. C’est ainsi que la Fondation a restauré des monuments historiques, culturels et religieux dans différents pays du monde, dont la France. -

They were fragmented for several centuries and became more intense in the XVII-XVIII centuries. Since the second half of the XVIII century when Russia’s southern border reached the Caucasus ridge, Russia’s political and ecclesiastical interests in Georgia have grown. This interest is well reflected in the agreements concluded between Russia and Georgia during this period. lthough the treaty between Kartl-Kakheti and Russia in 1783 did not address the issue of the autocephaly of the Georgian Church, Article 8 of the treaty severely restricted its rights. The A Archbishop of the centuries-old Autocephalous Church of Georgia was to occupy the eighth place in the Russian Holy Synod after the Peter I, Bishop of the Tobolsk Eparchy. When signing the treaty, the King of Russia Georgian ambassadors (Garsevan Chavchavadze and Ioane (1682-1721) Mukhranbatoni) protested this article since the Georgian and Emperor (1721-1725) Archbishop was to be ranked fifth among the first-tier Russian bishops according to the previously agreed draft version of the agreement. -
