Fall 2010 Issue Notes from the Editor Welcome to another issue of Diplomacy World. This time, is that Diplomacy World needs more face-to-face was one of those issues where I didn’t seem to have any material. One person even suggested we dedicate real direction. I did my usual job of bugging people, space to particular clubs or tournaments in each issue. begging for articles and material…and it seemed to That isn’t really necessary; the fact is, if you run a game work. But there wasn’t any particular focus to my at your house and want to write about it, send it in! I’ve actions; in some ways I was simply going through the been begging people to write about their ftf experiences, motions. I think the issue came out rather well anyway, whether it's about international conventions or simple but it does concern me to feel less enthusiasm for my house games. Likewise, if you have an internet site work as Lead Editor. Hopefully it is just a passing where you play Diplomacy and want to write something phase. If not…well, then it will be time to begin giving about that, feel free to do so. There’s no need to serious consideration to looking for a successor. dedicate particular space for each club or website…we’ll just deal with that we receive on a per-issue basis. We are making a few changes with Diplomacy World. The biggest of those is that we are dropping the idea of One other comment I noticed on a few surveys is that planned theme issues, at least on a regular basis. Diplomacy World is simply too long. One person Perhaps we’ll schedule a theme issue once every three mentioned they are hesitant to submit any articles or four issues, but the idea has run out of steam. At first because they think with issues being so big, nobody will the themes seemed to inspire some new contributors to read it. If you take the other surveys as a guide, nothing submit something. Now it has reached the point where it could be further from the truth. So many responders is a problem finding ANY material that fits the theme. I’d mention they read every single page…so don’t be rather people write about what they WANT to write intimidated! But when it comes to length, it is true that about…so after the next two themes have been used, the last few issues have been quite long. The Known the idea will be tossed by the wayside. Back in my first World Demo Game has been a primary factor, but that stint as Lead Editor, I’d decide what the cover story section is coming to a close this issue, which should should be very close to the deadline, based on what I lighten the load quite a bit. had on hand and what I enjoyed personally. In the post- postal age, I don’t even know if that is necessary. Another comment that appeared on some survey was Nemanja Simic has been designing colorful and often the idea that Diplomacy World should actually come humorous covers for us, and I am sure he can continue out more frequently, either 6 times or 12 times a year. to do so without a theme or a “cover story” to guide him. While I’d like to accommodate all the ideas and Since each issue contains a wide variety of material, I requests, that one is simply not going to happen…not don’t see a reason to focus on one article over another. while I am Lead Editor, at any rate. Quarterly issues are about all I can handle, and almost every issue the This leads me (sort of) to the results of the Diplomacy majority of material arrives in the two to three weeks World Survey that appeared in last issue. I had hoped prior to the deadline. Back when Diplomacy World for more responses, but in truth we received nearly 40. started under Walter Buchanan, I believe it came out As a percentage of the number of times Diplomacy every two months. But that isn’t something you can World is downloaded per issue, that’s miniscule. But expect any time in the near future. Quarterly issues compared to other reader-participation ideas I’ve tried have been the standard for quite some time, and that’s over the last few years, it’s a veritable landslide. So I’ll the way it will stay. gladly look at that glass as half full. Thanks to all of you who took the time and trouble to I can’t say I was surprised by the survey results. The submit a survey.

    KAMRAN IMANOV Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery KAMRAN IMANOV * Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery The book - “Tall Armenian Tales”, presented to the reader’s attention, consists of two thematic sections. Chapter I, entitled “I came, I saw, I... stole”, is about the misappropriation and armenization of intellectual property of the Azerbaijani people, intellectual plagiarism of the Azerbaijani folklore, dastans (epics) and other epic works, the desire to seize the Azerbaijani bayati (Azerbaijani folk poems), proverbs and sayings. The book also narrates about the “armenization” of tales, anecdotes, music and other samples of folk genre. What is the common of these various manifestations of Armenian plagiary shown in the chapter “I came, I saw, ..., I stole”? The fact is that, firstly, these “tales” do not have an Armenian origin, but only an Armenian presentation. These tales are alien to the Armenian people; in addition, these are the same “anecdotes” in allegorical meaning of this term in the form of absurdities - false statements shown in Chapter II - “The Theatre of Absurd.” PREFACE .............................................................................................. 6 CHAPTER I. “I came, I saw,.. .1 stole”: about the Armenian tradition of misappropriation of the Azerbaijani cultural heritage ............................................................... 8 §1. “I c a m e , w h i c h briefly tells about the mass settlement of the Armenians in the South Caucasus .............................. 9 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS §2.

  • Amil ASKEROV YALLI DANCES in NAKHCHIVAN MUSICAL CULTURE
    MUSİQİ DÜNYASI ____________________________________________________3 (76), 2018 Amil ASKEROV YALLI DANCES IN NAKHCHIVAN MUSICAL CULTURE Abstract The article is devoted to the Nakhchivan yallis, which have a special place and role in the musical culture of Azerbaijan. Based on the notes of Nakhchivan Yallis and the researches carried out, classification of yalli dances was conducted, and the area of spread was determined. The writing of the Yalli names has been revealed in connection with the terrain, man, tribal names, mythological outlook,and actions. The musical instruments used in accompaniment of yalli dances have been characterized. Comparative analysis of yallis in the Azerbaijan – Turkey area has been put forward as an important issue. Key words: Azerbaijan, Nakhchivan, yalli, genre, range, performance, note, classification, research. The Azerbaijani folk yallis, one of the oldest collective plays in the world, are a rare example of creativity that combines choreography, instrumental and vocal music. Yallı dances are one of the oldest folk dances in terms of genre, performance, and expression. For centuries, Nakhchivan has been known as the "homeland of yallis", "the land of yallis" among Caucasians, both Near and Middle East and Europe. Yalli is an ancient cultural monument of Nakhchivan's traditional musical heritage. The history of Yalli dance in Nakhchivan begins with the Bronze Age B. C.Yalli dances are described in the Gamigaya archaeological monument in Nakhchivan. Yally is a collective dance. This dance expresses the history of ancient Nakhchivan, the people's unity, labor, love for the motherland, heroism, freedom in music and dance. Great leader Heydar Aliyev called this dance "Nakhchivan's crown".

  • An Old Story
    Mugham Jazz About a half dozen articles on jazz, delivered to each floor of the fourteen-story home of the official Soviet Azerbaijani press, all went directly to the waste basket – not read. In the early eighties, now viewed as the final years of the cold war and the beginning of the thawing of the socialist regime, censorship on two levels, official and self-asserted, continued to render jazz as an ambivalent and thus avoidable subject. During the same months that my other articles on music, theater, and the arts were published in various papers and journals, my attempts to offer or promote anything written on jazz met with friendly dismissal or cautious advice. Until one day the editor of the sports section of the major komsomol (Young Communist League) paper Youth of Azerbaijan, himself a jazz fan, proposed a scheme. Substituting for the main editor during a two-day business trip, my fellow conspirator was in charge of daily issues. Upon his call, I left with the secretary, who knew me, a jazz article with, according to our plan, an attached note –“Solicited by the editor – urgent”– the ambiguity of the message simultaneously explaining and excusing the inclusion of the article in that day’s issue. Running to the newsstand the following morning and finding a three-column article in the fresh-smelling newspaper, I, a twenty- five-year-old classically trained pianist and, as a hobby, a free-lance cultural observer, returned home to read simultaneously from several copies, indulging myself with Turkish coffee. Within a few minutes, the phone rang and an official voice stated that in an hour I was expected at the office of the Secretary of the Azerbaijan Young Communist League.
