    Call For Papers
    International Conference on Armenia and Armenians in International Treaties

    The Armenian Studies Program (ASP) at the University of Michigan, Ann
    Arbor    , will be convening an international conference on the theme
    Armenia and Armenians in International Treaties. The conference will
    be held on the campus of the University of Michigan, March 18-21, 2009.

    International treaties represent critical moments in the history of
    Armenia     and of the Armenian people that had serious implications for
    their status and future as well as that of neighboring peoples and
    countries. International treaties also constitute the linchpin of
    diplomatic history, an aspect of Armenian history that has been
    neglected. The purpose of the conference is to determine patterns and
    processes which might shed light on the challenges faced by Armenia
    and Armenians in their long history.

    For the purposes of this conference the term treaties will include
    also international agreements such as the one between the Armenian
    merchants of India and the British East India Company in 1688 or the
    May 1896 agreement regarding the Eastern provinces of the Ottoman Empire.

    Scholars interested in the subject of Armenian diplomatic history from
    earliest times to the present are invited to submit abstracts for
    their proposed papers on the theme to Ms. Gloria Caudill, ASP
    Administrator, ([email protected]) by Friday, October 3, 2008. ASP
    will notify scholars regarding the acceptance of their proposal by the
    end of October, 2008. Final papers should be submitted two weeks
    before the conference, by February 18, 2009. The papers will be made
    available to all participants in order to limit presentations during
    the conference to 20 minutes per participant and provide time for
    discussion during panels.

    The conference will begin with a reception on the evening of
    Wednesday, March 18, followed by three full days of panels. The
    conference will be webcast live internationally. Professor Gerard
    Libaridian is the main convener of the conference.

    The language of the conference will be English, although presentations
    in Armenian as well as in French, Russian and Spanish will be accepted
    as long as the presenter can provide an English translation of the
    paper two weeks before the conference

    ASP will cover all expenses related to travel, lodging and meals for
    participants.

    For further information, please contact Ms. Gloria Caudill at the ASP office:

  • Bush Warns Russia to Reverse Course in Georgia

    Bush Warns Russia to Reverse Course in Georgia

    US President George W. Bush made a statement about the situation in Georgia. Bush is demanding Russia withdraw from Georgia saying that such Russia’s actions are unacceptable in 21st century.

    “Russia has invaded a sovereign neighboring state and threatens a democratic government elected by its people, ” said Bush.

    “Russia’s actions this week have raised serious questions about its intentions in Georgia and the region. These actions have substantially damaged Russia’s standing in the world. And these actions jeopardize Russians’ relations — Russia’s relations with the United States and Europe. It is time for Russia to be true to its word and to act to end this crisis,” said US President.

    He said he was “deeply conerned” that Russian troops had moved beyond the zone of conflict.

    “There’s evidence that Russian forces may soon begin bombing the civilian airport in the capital city,” he said. “If these reports are accurate, these Russian actions would represent a dramatic and brutal escalation of the conflict in Georgia. And these actions would be inconsistent with assurances we have received from Russia that its objectives were limited to restoring the status quo in South Ossetia that existed before fighting began on August the 6th,”

    He calls upon Russia to reverse the course and respect Georgia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. He also told Russia to accept the peace agreement.

    “Russia’s government must respect Georgia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. The Russian government must reverse the course it appears to be on, and accept this peace agreement as a first step toward resolving this conflict,” he said.

  • STATEMENT OF THE GOVERNMENT OF GEORGIA

    STATEMENT OF THE GOVERNMENT OF GEORGIA

    Russian occupation forces have already gone beyond the conflict zone. Until recently Russia limited itself to aerial assaults outside of the boundaries of the conflict zone, however, now the Russian forces are attempting to seize the control of entire Georgia.  Russian regular army is located in Zugdidi, Khobi and Senaki. Also, numerous Russian troops moved beyond Tskhinvali region, blocked the major highway and headed towards the capital of Georgia (Tbilisi). All of this happened following Georgian Government’s unilateral declaration of ceasefire, regroupment of Georgian troops outside of the conflict zone and, finally, the signing of the document prepared by Foreign Ministers of Finland, France and Georgia regarding unconditional ceasefire. Until this very moment the Georgian Government was and continues to fulfill the terms of the abovementioned document. Throughout the night and following the unilateral ceasefire, the Russian jets continued the bombardment of capital of Georgia, Tbilisi, and other cities and villages. Only within one night more than 10 assaults have been carried out, which resulted in the damage of civil aviation radar system, civil aviation telecom system, residential buildings, as well as, road infrastructure. Then, Russian “peace keepers”, in violation of their mandate and international standards, entered Zugdidi region, occupied Police and other administrative buildings and started “patrolling” Western part of Georgia. All of the abovementioned, suggests that the Russian actions have nothing to do with the enforcement of peace and that it was all pre-planned strategy aimed at conquering Georgia.

    Today the statehood of Georgia is in great danger, and, thereby, leaving existing world order in uncertainty. We appeal to the world community to stop the Russian aggression and assume the responsibility for the developments in the region.

  • Russia Occupies Georgia

    Russia Occupies Georgia

    Georgia’s President Mikheil Saakashvili said at a session of National Security Council that the highway passing through Gori is taken under Russia control.

    Saakashvili said that the army should struggle to the end. This is the attempt to destroy and occupy Georgia, he said.

    The humanitarian and moral support from the international community is received, he said but Georgia needs more today.

    “But we want them to stop these barbaric aggressors,” he said. “Our armed forces will carry out regrouping and we will protect and continue fighting for our future,”

    Earlier Saakashvili addressed nation saying that the present events proved that it is a planned occupation and annexation of Georgia’s conflict regions and as a result of it the annexation of the whole Georgia.

    The force entered Georgia is big, serious and is “a fatal threat to the Georgian statehood.”

    The previous statements showed what was behind the Russian actions, he said.
    “Yesterday and the day before yesterday official statements were made that the operation aimed at changing the Georgian authorities, changing Georgia’s course,” Said Saakashvili.

    According to him it means Russia’s aims to end with Georgia’s independence.
    “I want to say with full responsibility that we want to immediately end this military confrontation.” Said Saakashvili, “We want to end the war that we have not launched.”

    Jewish Congressman’s Landslide in Majority-Black Tennessee District
    Follows Divisive Primary

    ********************************************************************
    Cohen has often spoken of his pride in stopping the resolution, saying
    that during a congressional trip to the Middle East, he specifically
    asked Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, about the
    ramifications the resolution would have on U.S.-Turkish cooperation in
    suppressing violence in Iraq.

    “He said, ‘I am glad you brought that up. That would be very
    devastating to our troops.’ The Turks are our friends in NATO, they
    allow 8,000 trucks a day through Turkey into Iraq to serve our troops
    with supplies and needs. Those trucks could be stopped and the Turks
    are very serious about that. They allow us to use their airbase.

    “While I am against the mission of the Iraq war, I am for protecting
    our troops. And to pass that resolution would have been irresponsible
    and the Congress saw that.”
