Past Meetings: Table of Contents of Abstracts of 50th Meeting, Kazan 2007, now available

Dear Reader,

since the 50th Meeting in Kazan 2007 so far did not result in a volume of Proceedings, I decided, in analogy to the Meetings of Tashkent, 1986, and of Huhhot, 2009, to publish the references given in the volume of abstracts distributed at the beginning of the meeting. A sizable number of the 160-odd abstract are quite detailed, and a fair number of them can be considered a full-length paper. See Kazan and the Altaic World.

Previous Meetings: 29th Meeting Tashkent, 1986

Dear Reader,

While the list of abstracts of Soviet contributions to this Meeting has been available for a while, there is now also a table of contents of Turkish contributions: those which appeared in Turkey, and a selection of those which were also translated into Russian and appeared in Sovyetskaya Türkologiya.

That meeting was a very special one, not only for the complex political environment of Western-Soviet relations of the time, but also for its sheer size: a total of 270 participants is reported. For the record, I decided to reproduce the keynote by Denis Sinor as well as the opening remarks on behalf of the delegation from Turkey by Zeynep Korkmaz.
