Central Asia

Central Asia is the core region of the Asian continent and stretches from the Caspian Sea in the west to China in the east and from Afghanistan in the south to Russia in the north. It is also sometimes referred to as Middle Asia, and, colloquially, "the 'stans" (as the six countries generally considered to be within the region all have names ending with the Persian suffix "-stan", meaning "land of") and is within the scope of the wider Eurasian continent.

In modern contexts, all definitions of Central Asia include these five republics of the former Soviet Union: Kazakhstan (pop. 17 million), Kyrgyzstan (5.7 million), Tajikistan (8.0 million), Turkmenistan (5.2 million), and Uzbekistan (30 million), for a total population of about 66 million as of 2013–2014. Afghanistan (pop. 31.1 million) is also sometimes included.

Various definitions of Central Asia's exact composition exist, and not one definition is universally accepted. Despite this uncertainty in defining borders, the region does have some important overall characteristics. For one, Central Asia has historically been closely tied to its nomadic peoples and the Silk Road. As a result, it has acted as a crossroads for the movement of people, goods, and ideas between Europe, Western Asia, South Asia, and East Asia.

Ukraine protests send icy blast through Moscow and Central Asia
Since the mass protests in Kyiv's Maidan square began Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has met... euronews, the most watched news channel in Europe Subscribe for your daily dose of international news, curated and explained:http://eurone.ws/10ZCK4a Euronews is available in 13 other languages: http://eurone.ws/17moBCU http://www.euronews.com/2013/12/17/ukraine-protests-send-icy-blast-through-moscow-and-central-asia Since the mass protests in Kyiv's Maidan square began Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has met his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin three times. The Ukrainian opposition feared that Yanukovych would sign documents on Ukraine's accession to a Russian-led Customs Union during a Moscow visit on December 17. That did not happen but the people are not ready to end their anti-government demonstrations. The opposition in Maidan encourages people to mobilise. The Ukrainian authorities, and especially Yanukovych, also seem unwilling to give up their positions. To find out what Moscow, Brussels, Kyiv and the opposition can learn from the Maidan experience euronews talked to Lilia Shevtsova, a senior research fellow at the Carnegie Moscow Center. *Andrei Belkevich, euronews:* "First of all, let's talk about the attitude of European politicians to Maidan. Did Brussels expect such a passionate reaction from Ukrainians to the refusal of Yanukovych to sign an association agreement with the EU? Do you think the EU's response has been adequate?" *Lilia Shevtsova, Carnegie Moscow Center:* "I think that Brussels and all European capitals were taken by surprise, they were shocked that so many people came out in Kiev. They were also unprepared for Yanukovych's refusal to sign the Association Agreement. "So they had no plan B ready. For European politicians it is still not clear that the Ukrainians see the association agreement with the EU as more than a free trade zone, but they are free to choose the sort of civilisation they want. Until now Europe could not offer the people in Maidan Square any significant support. Nothing more than rhetoric." *euronews:* "How does this reaction from Ukrainians affect the EU's Eastern Partnership?" *Lilia Shevtsova:* "I think that Brussels should revise the entire Eastern Partnership project. First of all the Eastern Partnership countries do not fit together. On one side Ukraine is committed to Europe. At least a significant portion of Ukrainians want to move in this direction. On the other side we have Aliyev and Azerbaijan who do not want to move in any direction. They want to stand still and be in the orbit of Russia." *euronews:* "The rhetoric from the Kremlin against the Ukrainian events today is much gentler than in 2004 during the Orange Revolution. Why is that?" *Lilia Shevtsova:* "At the beginning of the Maidan protests Putin's rhetoric was very tough. He called this movement for independence a "pogrom", but later the emotions in the Kremlin calmed down and the Kremlin is now using completely different tactics. Softer, more enveloping. The Kremlin is not going to throttle Ukraine and impose sanctions . The Kremlin understands that, just to survive, Yanukovych is moving in the direction of Moscow." *euronews:* "How could the events in Ukraine affect Moscow's relations with other former Soviet republics? And is there a threat from these Ukrainian protests to Russia's own political stability?" *Lilia Shevtsova:* "I think not only the Kremlin but the leaders of all authoritarian states,including those that are members of the Eastern Partnership, first of all Azerbaijan, are looking at Ukraine with horror, shock, and discomfort. Naturally Maidan Square is a warning for all authoritarian states in the former Soviet Union that the same thing may occur at any time in their countries. So I think that, at least in Moscow, the protests will cause more intimidation, and more sanctions, and repression will stiffen.

Scythians Askuzai, Sarmatians, Huns: Ethnographic studies of ancient Türkic peoples/Central Asia

Scythians Askuzai, Sarmatians, Huns: Ethnographic studies of ancient Türkic peoples/Central Asia

Scythians Askuzai, Sarmatians, Huns: Ethnographic studies of ancient Türkic peoples/Central Asia
In the Bible, the name of Scythians sounds as "Ashkuzi", which is a slight Semite distortion of the name of a Turkic tribe "As-kishi". By the words of Herodotos (484-425 BC), Scythians thought that they were born in a deserted land from the first man called Targitaios, whose parents were a daughter of the river Dnieper (Borisphenes) and Scythian god of thunder corresponding to Greek Zeus. Targitaios had three sons: Lipoxaios, Arpaxaios and Kolaxaios. The first of them gave birth to Scythians Auchates, the second to Katiares, and the third to Parallates. Their common name was Scolotes. We can immediately see that all these names are definitely of the Turkic origin and can easily be explained on the basis of Karachai-Balkarian and other Turkic languages and dialects. The very word "Scolotes", evidently distorted by Ellines, sounded as "Skhilti" in the original language of Scythians, which refers to the upper strata of the society in Karachai-Balkarian. The Turkic type of the Scythian-Sarmat language is testified by many names of Sarmat leaders mentioned by Roman historians Tacitus, Ammianus Marcellinus and others. The language of Scythians is known almost exclusively by the personal names, among which both Turkic and Iranian words are met. One cannot speak about Scythian language without an analysis of common nouns and special terms found in written sources, while the ancient authors keep complete silence on that. Nevertheless, the above-mentioned Turkic words, such as Targitaios, Kolaxaios, Lipoxaios, Arpaxaios, Skhilti and other speak that Scythians and Sarmats were Turkic tribes. Following Turkic examples could be added: - Papai - the supreme god of Scythians, whose name means "elder" in Turkic languages. - Api - Papai's wife; means "mother" in Turkic languages. - Atei - Scythian king, whose name is a common Turkic word meaning "father". - Eir - Scythian noun "man". Same meaning in Turkic: "eir", "er". - Tagi - Scythian word "thread"; coincides with the same Turkic word. - Jün - in Scythian and Turkic means "wool". - Üshü, Ish - Scythian verb "feel cold". In Karachai-Balkarian and other Turkic languages with the same meaning: Üshü. Even this short list of common words, ignored by many scythianologists before, the Turkic nature of Scythian language can be clearly seen. Who were Kimmerians? It is easy to see that the word "Kam-er", or "Kim-er" is of typically Turkic origin, meaning "river man", just like the recent "Suv-ar", "Bulak-ar" ("Bolkar"), or earlier "Sub-ar", "Suv-ar" (which is the same as "Shum-er"). The alternation of the phonemes "sh" and "s" in many languages should not surprise anybody. The Turkic elements in Sarmat culture and life is perfectly illustrated by the findings on Southern Bug, in the burials of I century. One of them was a little sculpture of a Sarmat sitting in the Asian manner, with crossed legs, in a quilted gown, with slanting eyes and flat nose. The Scythian and Sarmat way of living and their culture manifests numerous Turkic elements. Scythian's breakfast and dinner were sour milk and cheese. These words coincide with the Karachai-Balkarian expression "Airan bla bishlak", describing their daily food. By the words of the I century author Plinius, Sarmats eat "raw flour mixed with mare milk". THE HISTORY OF THE KARACHAI-BALKARIAN PEOPLE, by I. M. Miziyev, 1994, no. 1 (Jan-Feb), pp. 7-104, 206-213. The scenario of Indo-European appropriation of Vedas and Aryans is mirrored in Indo-European appropriation of Scythians, Sarmatians, and other Türkic peoples, appropriation of Türkic Kurgan Culture, and appropriation of distinctly Türkic nomadism, abstract monotheism, military aptitude, and meat/dairy diet. Consequently, the mentioned in the ancient Chinese sources ethnonyms "Hu", "Di", "Guifang", "Tufang", "Rung", "Hun" and "Chile" were carriers of the Andronov cultures. From those Andronov communities in the 2nd millennium BC came the Arians. Hence, the Arians originated from the Türkic nomadic cattle husbandry tribes. The Scytho-Iranian theory, created and fanned by a coincidence of German racism and Russian national-imperialism, took hold and hardened in the Indo-European science to a status of axiom, any facts notwithstanding. It is outstanding that every link in the Iranian-Scythian theory is either a fraud or a blunder.

Alan-Kala Fortress. Ustyurt Plateau (Uzbekistan, Central Asia).

Alan-Kala Fortress. Ustyurt Plateau (Uzbekistan, Central Asia).
More information here: http://www.centralasia-travel.com/en/adventure/combined/ Ustyurt Plateau is a desert-like tableland, a bridge connecting Europe and Asia. It is extremely beautiful in its austerity. The ancient tribes of the Massageteans who controlled the plateau once built Alan-Kala Fortress there; its walls were 4 meters in height and 2 meters in width. Ustyurt Plateau was originally part of the bottom of the prehistoric ocean, which had left millions of years ago.
