Mongolian First Statehood Anniversary Inaugurated
President Elbegdorj issued on October 15 2010 a decree to commemorate the 2220th anniversary of the Mongolian Statehood.
Consequently, the Government formed a national committee in charge of the anniversary and plans multilateral events and campaigns to be organized through 2011.
In particular, the 2220th anniversary of the Mongolian First Statehood of Hunnu has been officially launched last week.
“This anniversary is the celebration of not only Mongolian people but also of other nomadic nations since Hunu State was the first empire to unite nomadic tribes of Central Asia and Europe” said Education, Culture and Science Minister Yo.Otgonbayar, who chairs the National Committee of the Anniversary, at the launch event held in the National Museum of History.
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.
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.
President of Mongolia Elbegdorj ordered to pronounce the anniversary of the First Mongol Statehood 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. Major undertakings include the construction of a “World’s Nomadic History and Culture Complex”, hosting an international scientific and research symposia, establishment of an international research expeditions and others.
