Mongolia’s statehood to mark 2220th anniversary
President of Mongolia Elbegdorj Tsakhia has issued a Decree to commemorate the 2220th anniversary of the First Mongolian State and provided directives to the Government associated with this major undertaking.
The Presidential Decree reads: “In 209 BC, Modun Shan’yu united the nomadic tribes of Central Asia and established the first State of the nomads, the powerful Hunnu State.
The State of Hunnu, which flourished for 300 years, established great traditions and left strong legacies of statehood. The Hunnus divided the State in three Arms (Provinces) and appointed Noyons (Governors) of 24 Tumt (an administrative unit of 10000 persons). The Hunnus established and maintained their state and military system based on Aravt principle (the smallest, 10-person unit as a cell of the entire system), which formed the basis for Chinggis Khaan’s organization of State.
Lord Chinggis Khaan pronounced that Hunnus are forefathers of the Mongols and the history, traditions and legacies of the Great Modun Khaan are carried by us, the Mongols”.
The President’s Decree provides directions for commemorating in 2011 the 2220th anniversary of the Mongol State as a National Day so as to revive and enhance studying, preserving and enriching the history and traditions of our forefathers the Hunnus while promoting and encouraging national consciousness and pride for our millennia-old historical, intellectual and cultural heritage. The Decree also directs to construct in certain stages the “World’s Nomadic History and Culture Complex”, hold international scientific and research symposia, establish international research expeditions and engage in production of scientific, cultural and artistic works.
