On March 23, the republican conference of young researchers entitled as "The Middle East: History, Culture, and Modernity" took place by the joint efforts of the Institute of Oriental Studies of NAS RA, the International Scientific-Educational Center of NAS RA and the Student Council of NAS RA.
Robert Ghazaryan, the Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies of NAS RA, made an opening speech, highlighting the importance of organization such scientific events in terms of educating young staff, and strengthening the link between science and education.
The participants were also welcomed by Armen Sargsyan, Director of the International Scientific-Educational Center of NAS RA, who emphasized that scientific events, aimed at the development of oriental thought, are very important for our country, as geographically we are located in a rather complex region, where various geopolitical events are taking place today. "The Armenian nation has a millennial history with the peoples of the East, and it is vastly important for us to carry out a thorough research and understand the civilizational, cultural and historical features of the countries of the Middle East, which will allow us to develop and strengthen our ties with these countries and create additional opportunities for interaction in various spheres," - A. Sargsyan noted.
The conference was attended by young researchers, post-graduate students, masters and undergraduates of the Institute of Oriental Studies of NAS RA, the International Scientific-Educational Center of NAS RA, YSU, AGPU and other scientific and educational centers of Armenia.
The coverage of the reports was quite broad: the topics regarding Azerbaijani falsification of historiography, Armenian carpet weaving, perceptions of death in medieval Europe, Iran, the Arab East, the Caucasus region, the genealogy of Mongolian tribes, women's rights in medieval Armenian and European courts, and other noteworthy issues were discussed.
At the conclusion of the conference, certificates were awarded to the participants. The best reports of the conference after the review will be published as a collection of scientific articles.
