Since ancient times, Azerbaijan has been famous for its oil and natural gas. Zoroastrians, for whom fire held sacred value, would build tem- ples around natural gas vents in the highlands. In the early 20th century, Azerbaijan provided nearly half of the world’s oil supply and continues to this day to be a major exporter of oil. The capi- tal city of Baku is located on a narrow peninsula that extends into the Caspian Sea. Azerbaijan has been a subject of a large number of imperial powers over the years, Persian, Ottoman, Russian and Soviet, most recently.

Karabakh Is Azerbaijan!
Karabakh is Azerbaijan! Karabakh is ancestral Azerbaijani land, one of its historical regions. Musa MARJANLI The name of this region translates into Russian as a “black garden”. Editor-in-Chief According to another version, it is a “large garden” or a “dense garden”. Up until the region was seized by the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 19th century, Karabakh was part of various Azerbaijani states. I will not bore you with arguments about who lived in Karabakh, who ruled it in certain historical periods – materials about that are available in most of the previous issues of IRS-Heritage. I only want to note that until the beginning of the 20th century, there was not a single Armenian ruler in Karabakh and indeed on the territory of present-day Armenia. This fact is graphic evidence that the Armenians always constituted an insignificant part of the population of these regions. On 14 May 1805, the ruler of the Karabakh Khanate, Ibrahim Khan, and the commander of the Russian troops, Prince P. Tsitsianov, signed the Treaty of Kurekchay, according to which the khanate was included in the Russian Empire. Subsequently, the Gulustan Peace Treaty of 18 October 1813 and the Turkmenchay Peace Treaty of 10 February 1828, signed as a result of two Russian-Iranian wars, formalized the final transfer of northern Azerbaijani khanates to the Russian Empire. Having taken possession of this land, Russia, striving to reinforce the Christian presence in the region, immediately began a systematic resettlement of Armenians here from Iran and the Ottoman Empire, placing them primarily on the lands of the former Azerbaijani khanates.

Democracy and National Unity Day'' in Turkey: the Invention of a New
55 “Democracy and National Unity Day” in NEW PERSPECTIVES ON TURKEY Turkey: the invention of a new national holiday Nadav Solomonovich Abstract On the night of July 15, 2016, the Republic of Turkey experienced yet another military coup attempt. However, this attempt failed, mainly due to civilian protest and casualties. Their sacrifice, according to the Turkish state, led to the creation of a new national celebration in Turkey, the “Democracy and National Unity Day.” Following the growing interest of historians in the field of national celebrations, this paper examines the creation of this holiday. It argues that the AKP government used this new holiday to shape the Turkish collective national memory and to introduce a national celebration that does not revolve around the founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who symbolizes the secular camp in Turkey, but rather around the Justice and Development Party government and its more traditional and religious ideology, in the guise of celebrating Turkish democracy. Keywords: National Holidays in Turkey; 15 July Failed Coup; Commemoration; Democracy and National Unity Day; Justice and Development Party On the night of July 15, 2016, at about 10 pm, Turkey experienced one of the most memorable events in its recent history. The entire country held its breath while watching, on television and on social media, an attempted military coup from start to finish. Tanks rolled down city streets, fighter jets bombed the parliamentary building, the president addressed his supporters via Facetime on live TV and called on all citizens to take to the streets, followed by resisting civilians being gunned down by soldiers on the Bosphorus Bridge.
