The proposals should be implemented together with the immediate resumption of negotiations on a settlement. We would like to reiterate our call to the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan to demonstrate flexibility and to return to the negotiation table with the firm aim of moving toward a sustainable peace on the basis of the current working proposals. Unless progress can be made on negoti- ations, the prospects for renewed violence will only increase, and the parties will bear full responsibility.

  • Land Reform and the Hungarian Peasantry C. 1700-1848
    Land Reform and the Hungarian Peasantry c. 1700-1848 Robert William Benjamin Gray UCL Thesis submitted for a PhD in History, 2009 1 I, Robert William Benjamin Gray, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 25th September 2009 2 Abstract This thesis examines the nature of lord-peasant relations in the final stages of Hungarian seigneurialism, dating roughly from 1700 to the emancipation of the peasantry in 1848. It investigates how the terms of the peasants’ relations with their lords, especially their obligations and the rights to the land they farmed, were established, both through written law and by customary practice. It also examines how the reforms of this period sought to redefine lord-peasant relations and rights to landed property. Under Maria Theresa land reform had been a means to protect the rural status quo and the livelihood of the peasantry: by the end of the 1840s it had become an integral part of a liberal reform movement aiming at the complete overhaul of Hungary’s ‘feudal’ social and economic system. In this period the status of the peasantry underpinned all attempts at reform. All reforms were claimed to be in the best interests of the peasantry, yet none stemmed from the peasants themselves. Conversely, the peasantry had means to voice their grievances through petitions and recourse to the courts, and took the opportunity provided by the reforms to reassert their rights and renegotiate the terms of their relations to their landlords.

  • Everything You Never Wanted to Know About Azerbaijan: Part Three
    WITHOUT WRITER'S CONSENT tcg-31 INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS Peter Bird Mart in I CWA/Cr ane-Roger s Foundat i on 4 West Wheelock Street Hanover, N.H. 03755 Dear Peter, Here is the penultimate offering in my package about the political roller coaster in Azerbaijan in the Spring of 1992. It brings us through May and the presidential elections of June 7th. Once again, this epistle consists mainly of published and unpubi ished pr ess r epor t s, wit h some foot not es. Most o f t he dateline stories were filed (or at least designed to be filed) to the New York Times. All were ultimately conceived as a running history. The major exception to this is the quasi-introduction, which I drafted in mid-May as a separate ICWA offering. Then events ovet,-Jok me, and I have kind of grafted it on to the press reports (or vice versa). I don't think it is too incongruous, and certainly should set the stage for the 'stories.' As with Part Two--which was also a string of press reports with commentary--there will be a certain amount of repetition as a thene rolls over. I have ,:ut the most glaring repetitions, but not all--partially for sense and partially out of a sense of honesty: stories did not get written anew from top to bottom every day; cliches were recycled. Also, while I provided a number of pictures in Part Two (and as single portrait in Part One), Part Three is fairly packed with pi,itures due to the simple fact that I had a decent camera at my disposal.
