Salam Torkham wrora! Dera dera mana !


Well, after finishing my PhD and my daughter being born I was quite busy with organizing what to do. Currently I am in Tehran, doing a research project, till autumn.


For new year was actually thinking to go to Baluchistan, as I did last year, but seems that my plan won't get fulfilled this year do o some financial and organization problems.

But let's see.
How are You doing? Where are You? What are your news?

You have a blessing of a child! Congratulations on your remarkable achievement of the PhD.
I was preparing for my permanent retirement to Afghanistan, then I too had another addition in my family so it looks like I will have to keep on working. I spend almost equal amount of time in Kandahar and Dubai. Recently I visited Balochistan; Quetta and Chaman. I didn't manage to see the Juniper forest of Kalat, I hope to see it next time.

Thank You a lot!
And congratulations to Your addition too! My best wishes!!

I have been just to Iran's Baluchistan , on a trip from Chabahar to Zahedan, as i doubt a foreigner can go and visit Pakistani Baluchistan, as far as i know the military for security reasons don't allow you to stay there.

How is it in Kandahar and surroundings concerning safety?

On the world map i see that great Registan desert in Your region, seems a very interesting area for nature, but unfortunately as far as news say in a very dangerous region.

A year ago i visited the Lut desert, which is claimed to reach the highest temperatures o earth, but i doubt that such studies have been done in the deserts of south Afghanistan. Considering its size, it must have many interesting places.

Nowdays Afghanistan is usually called by Armenian ancients historians "The country of the Hons"

What does "Hons" mean?

What does "Hons" mean?

Hon is a name to call a group of people, i suppose it refers actually to Hephthalites.

As far as i know Armenian historians just mention Hons, Kushans, Parthians concerning that region.
But maybe i ave to check it again.
Yeas ago i read those sources
