See the beginning in IRS- Heritage, 3 (35) 2018 Emblem of ASALA y 1990, Armenia or Nagorno-Karabakh were, arguably, the only two places in the world that Bformer ASALA terrorists could safely go, and not fear pursuit, in one form or another, and it seems that most of them did, indeed, eventually end up in Armenia (36). Not all of the ASALA veterans took up arms, how- ever. Some like, Alex Yenikomshian, former director of the Monte Melkonian Fund and the current Sardarapat Movement leader, who was permanently blinded in October 1980 when a bomb he was preparing explod- ed prematurely in his hotel room, were not capable of actually participating in the fighting (37). Others, like Varoujan Garabedian, the terrorist behind the attack on the Orly Airport in Paris in 1983, who emigrated to Armenia when he was pardoned by the French govern- ment in April 2001 and released from prison, arrived too late (38). Based on the documents and material avail- able today in English, there were at least eight ASALA 48 www.irs-az.com 4(36), AUTUMN 2018 Poster of the Armenian Legion in the troops of fascist Germany and photograph of Garegin Nzhdeh – terrorist and founder of Tseghakronism veterans who can be identified who were actively en- tia group of approximately 50 men, and played a major gaged in the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh (39), but role in the assault and occupation of the Kelbajar region undoubtedly there were more.

RELIGION AND ARMENIAN NATIONAL IDENTITY: NATIONALISM OLD AND NEW by Vigen Guroian Dr. Vigen Guroian (Armenian Apostolic Church) is professor of religion at Loyola College in Baltimore, Maryland. He presented this paper at the Eastern European and Former Soviet Concerns Consultation " Religion and Nationalism" at the American Academy of Religion in Washington, DC in November 1993. In his recent book, The End of the Twentieth Century, John Lukacs argues that the resurgence of nationalism after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the demise of Communism in Eastern Europe proves that "the most powerful political force in the world" for our era is nationalism. While persons might disagree with Lukacs' overall assessment, no serious analyst of contemporary world politics would deny that the old and new nationalisms arising in Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and the Caucasus are going to be with us for some time and that they need to be better understood.

LII 1 THE CAS NEWSLETTER CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF SLAVISTS • ASSOCIATION CANADIENNE DES SLAVISTES ISSN 0381-6133 NO. 107 FALL-SPRING 2009-2010 VOL. LII 12 May 2010 Address by Professor Zinaida Gimpelevich, the President of the Canadian Association of Slavists: Dear colleagues, members, and friends of the Canadian Association of Slavists (CAS), Let me greet you all. I am happy to confirm once again that, thanks to your ongoing support on every level and on every issue, the Canadian Association of Slavists is a solid, healthy, and diverse organization that strongly represents Canadian academia nationally and internationally. We are working truly amicably together. During the last academic year I took part in five international scholarly events and worked closely on your behalf with the Canadian Federation of the Humanities and Social Sciences. Besides my own presentations at these academic venues, I looked intently at other Slavic and non-Slavic academic organizations: their academic and teaching activities, numbers and percentage of academic ranks, students‘ ratio and participation, age groups, and gender. My conclusion is that CAS has a reason to stand tall because our standards and achievements are high. We teach and study to the best of our abilities, and our publications are well received around the globe. Our members receive promotions and get recognition at their own institutions, nationally and internationally. Let me give you just a few examples. Dr. Natalia Pylypiuk has been promoted to the rank of full professor (Congratulations, Natalia!). Dr. David Marples was elected as the President of NAAB (North American Association of Belarusists; Congratulations, David!).

Expanding and improving ties with Azerbaijan has been part of Israel's newly adopted strategy toward non-Arab Muslim states. Also addressed is Iran's attitude towards Azerbaijan and the political and ideological opposition between the two mainly Shi'a-populated countries. Highlighted is the cooperation's strategic importance for improving security and defense capabilities for both Israel and Azerbaijan. Last, U.S. priorities in the South Caucasus are viewed in the context of the Israeli-Azerbaijani alliance.

Since the beginning of the war in Croatia (1991-95) when the state media stimulated the production of popular music conveying appropriate narratives of national identity, Croatian popular music has been a site for the articulation of explicit national narratives of identity. The practice has continued into the present day, reflecting political and social change in Croatia (e.g. the growth of the war veterans lobby and protests against the Hague Tribunal).
