| dc.description.abstract | Basing his conclusions on a number of 19th century original sources, the author highlights certain self-identity issues of the Oodees in the 19th century. Though they are mostly assimilated, there are very few Oodees still living in contemporary north-western Azerbaizhan, namely in Vardashen and Kutkashen areas. The author classifies the 19th century Oodees under three groups: a) Oodee-speaking Christians, b) Turkish-speaking Christians, and c) Turkish-speaking moslems. The first group inhabited the contemporary town of Vardashen, and the large village of Nij. The Oodee speaking Christians who followed Armenian rites studied Armenian in their schools till the 1950s. (Till the early 20th century, of these, only those who attended Armenian schools knew Armenian, while those who did not attend Armenian schools, did not.) The Oodee-speaking Christians who followed Georgian rites started studying Russian in their schools in the late 19th century. The sources use mixed expressions in trying to differentiate between these different groups. "Turkish-speaking, and Oodee-speaking villages of Oodee"; "Oodee-Armenian"; "Oodee-speaking and Turkish-speaking Armenian women", "Armenian people of the Oodee world", "the Oodee-Armenian community"; "Christian and islamacized Armenians". In many of the original sources the words Armenian and Georgian do not mean "nation", rather they mean people who follow the Armenian or Georgian rites. Interestingly, however, the Oodees in their intra-communal communications never used the words "Armenian", or "Georgian" They called themselves "Oodees". To further highlight his observations, the author brings forth a number of late 19 century Oodee tombstones with Armenian and Russian inscriptions on them. Some of these inscriptions identify the deceased as from "the Lusavorich nation and Oodee-speaking race", or from the "Oodee-speaking nation", or "Oodee-speaking race, the Armenian lusavorich", …the author concludes that Oodee-speaking was the factor which identified the Oodees as members of the Oodee nation. In his article, the author mentions the Armenian schools of Oodee and hints at the process of assimilation of the Oodee nation into the different nationalities of the region, namely the Azerbaijanis, the Georgians, and the Armenians. | |
