The Slavic-Orthodox community in Azerbaijan: the identity and social position of a once-dominant minority

Based on recent empirical findings and field observations, this article examines the Slavic-Orthodox community in Azerbaijan. Nowadays numbering about one and a half percent of the population, the main threat to its continuity is not persecution nor pressure to assimilate, but an ageing ethnic-demographic base which is not going to be kept up to level by either natural replacement or new adherents. Orthodox Christianity will nonetheless keep a presence in the country, yet its base of adherents will unavoidably become more heterogeneous

Összehasonlító karacsáj-balkár-kirgiz-azeri-magyar népzene és szövegkutatás = Comparative research on Karachay-Balkar-Kyrgyz-Azeri-Hungarian folk music and texts

2003-2006 között nyolc expedíció során összesen 2750 dallamot gyűjtöttünk törökországi bektasik, kirgizek, kaukázusi és törökországi karacsájok, anatóliai törökök valamint dakota és navahó indiánok között. Az összes gyűjtött dallam hangját valamint a 2003 előtti gyűjtések 380 CD-nyi anyagát is digitalizáltuk és a gyűjtésekhez alapkatalógust készítettünk. Felvételről lejegyeztünk 2300 dallamot (azeri - 600, karacsáj - 400, kirgiz - 500, dakota - 450, karacsáj - 250) és leírtunk 2200 strófányi szöveget (azeri -1200, trákiai bektasi - 1000, karacsáj - 500). Az eddigi gyűjtések révén a tervezett monográfiákhoz az azeri, és kirgiz anyag teljesen, a bektasi és karacsáj anyag nagy részben rendelkezésre áll, ezeket a kutatásokat (az amerikai indián kutatással együtt) a jövőben is folytatni szándékozzuk. Kutatásainkról számos tanulmányban és nemzetközi konferencián is beszámoltunk. A négyéves periódusban gyűjtött anyagon alapuló három angol nyelvű egy azeri nyelvű könyvet jelentettünk meg Wiesbadenben, Ankarában, Bakuban illetve Budapesten. | Between 2003 and 2003 in eight expedition we collected 2750 melodies among Bektashis in Thrace, Karachays living in the Caucasus Mountains and Turkey, Anatolian Turks, and Dakota and Navaho Indians. We digitized the sound of these recordings together with the sound material we had collected before 2003 (some 600 CD together), and made a basic catalogue to them as well. We transcribed 2300 melodies (Azeri - 600, Karachay - 650, Kyrgyz - 500, Dakota - 450) and trascribed some 2200 strophes of the collected texts (Azeri -1200, Bektashi - 1000, Karachay - 500). With these recordings and works we have the material needed for the Azeri and Kyrgyz monographs, and the majority of the material for the Bektashi and Karachay (as well as Dakota and Navaho) monographs. We have been reporting on these researches in several studies and international congresses. Based on the material we collected in the 2003-2006 period we published three books and a DVD-book in English and one in Azeri language in Wiesbaden, Ankara, Baku and Budapes

Turkey's global strategy: Turkey and the Caucasus

Turkey has had long-standing links with the region called the ‘South(ern) Caucasus’, comprised of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, including the de-facto independent entities of South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Nagorno-Karabakh. The area was, for a long time, the scene of intense competition between the Persian-Sassanid and Ottoman Empires, before its gradual incorporation into the Russian Empire during the fi rst half of the 19th century. Since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, Turkey has become a major regional player through direct investments, and the trade and transportation links tying the Caspian basin to the outside world over Georgia in circumvention of Russian territory, most important among them the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline. But the weight of both history and ethnic kinship has distorted the operation of material interests, even under Ankara’s new, zero-problems foreign policy. The historical legacies of massacre and confl ict during and after World War One continue to weigh down on relations between Turkey and Armenia, and the close political interaction between Ankara and Baku – encapsulated in the slogan ‘One nation, two states’ – remains a major ethno-political factor shaping the regional environment
