Early life and education[edit]

He was born on August 18, 1950 in Jerusalem, the youngest of six children.[1][2] His family is part of the Armenian community of Jerusalem. His grandparents were survivors and refugees of the Armenian genocide. His parents were Elise Tachjian, a seamstress, and Areen Aghazarian, a restauranteur and grocery shop manager.[2][3]

Albert studied at the Collège des Frères in Jerusalem. He grew up speaking Armenian and Turkish, learning Arabic as a second language as well as English and French. He worked part-time jobs during his youth, including at a newspaper and bank and also in Jerusalem’s tourism sector.[2]

For his higher education, he first studied at Birzeit College, from 1968 to 1970. During that time he was involved in student activism, including going on hunger strike in solidarity with political prisoners in Israeli jails. This resulted in his hospitalization.[2] After earning his associate’s degree at Birzeit, he went on to study for his B.A. in political science at the American University of Beirut, completing these studies in 1972. He later graduated in the inaugural class of the Masters of Arts in Arab Studies program at Georgetown University in 1979.[4][2] While studying in D.C., he also worked at the United Arab Emirates embassy as a translator.[2]

Career[edit]

Early period[edit]

In between his bachelor's and master's degrees, Aghazarian worked as an editor of the newspaper al-Quds, from 1973 to 1975.[2]

Following completion of his graduate degree at Georgetown in 1979, he taught history and cultural studies at Bir Zeit University.[5][2] He also served as the university's Director of Public Relations. During a difficult period for Palestinian education, in the 1980s, the university was subject to military-ordered closures and violent responses to student protests, and Aghazarian was "at the center of this whirlwind."[3] He is remembered for having "plunged into the fight to develop the university—and to keep it open."[3] In his capacity as Director of Public Relations, Aghazarian coordinated solidarity committees with educational institutions in other countries, held press conferences, and met with Israeli defense officials, among other responsibilities.[6]

Aghazarian was well known as a historian of Jerusalem and for giving tours of the Old City of Jerusalem to visiting foreign dignitaries, artists, and academics, even bringing them into his home.[7][8][5] He was a published writer and translator, too, contributing to such publications as Jerusalem Quarterly.[9]

He was part of a group of scholars which founded the Arab Thought Forum (al-Multaqa al-Fikri), serving on the forum's advisory board. He also served on the board of Dar Al-Kalima University.[2][9]

During the Madrid Peace Conference, Aghazarian headed the Palestinian media center along with Hanan Ashrawi.[1][4][6]

Later period[edit]

Aghazarian left his position at Bir Zeit in the early 2000s, due to differences with the administration.[clarification needed]. His departure came also in the wake of an injury from tear gas sustained during student demonstrations in the Second Intifada.[2]

During his later life, Aghazarian worked as a translator and was invited to speak at numerous international events and conferences. He continued to appear internationally as a spokepersson for the Palestinian cause, including in forums organized by the United Nations, the World Council of Churches, and other institutions. He served in a formal capacity in a delegation in Amman to the Conference on Christians of Jerusalem in 2002 and participated in the Conference on Jerusalem in Morocco in 2000.[2]

Views on social issues[edit]

He lamented and resisted the "criminalization" of education under Israeli occupation.[6] When meeting with Israeli defense officials during years of repeated closures of Bir Zeit, he said:

"You treat universities like shops, but education is an ongoing process. We have academic papers, scholarships, and international accords to deal with, yet all you do is open, close, open and close the place again!"[6]

He identified strongly as Palestinian.[3] He believed in "the pluralism of the Levant" and an inclusive vision of Arabism that did not prevent an Armenian Christian like himself from participating "in an Arab-Islamic framework."[3]

Awards[edit]

In 2006, "Aghazarian was awarded a medal by King Albert II of Belgium in recognition of his efforts to raise international awareness on Jerusalem."[2]

Professional life[edit]

Shehadeh began practicing law in 1949.[21] He joined with his brother's law firm and helped move it from Jaffa to Ramallah due to the Nakba.[19]

In 1985, he and Aziz and Raja Shehadeh raised a question for the International Court of Justice highlighting the contradictions between Israel's 1984 Road Plan and international law. Specifically, they "made the case that an International Court of Justice advisory opinion was in order because the road would violate international law."[22] Their analysis was also formally submitted to the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council.[23][24]

As of 2016, "He currently holds licenses to practice law from the Israeli, Palestinian, and Jordanian Bar Associations. And with the help from his brothers and sons, Shehadeh went on to open business and trade organizations that operate in Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, and Yemen. Today, Fuad Shehadeh is 91 years old. His law firm, A. F. & R. Shehadeh Law Firm, specializes in civil and commercial law. His son Waleed is running businesses in Jordan and Palestine."[19]

Mawj Aldarraji (Arabic: موج الدراجي) is an Iraqi mountaineer and architect. She is widely lauded as the first female mountaineer from Iraq. She is currently pursuing the seven summits challenge and appears frequently in Arabic-language media as a discussant of female empowerment and women's rights.

Early life and education[edit]

Aldarraji was born in Baghdad and lived there until she was eight years old.[25][26] In 2003 she and her family moved to the United Arab Emirates and she continues to reside there today. She earned a degree in architecture and as of 2018 was also studying for a further degree in neuropsychology.[27]

She credits her parents for bestowing her both with a feeling of self-confidence and a practical understanding of gender equality.[25] She furthermore cites her maternal aunt, who she says was the first female pilot in Iraq, as a source of inspiration, especially in her early life.[26]

In a presentation for TedXBaghdad, Aldarraji recounts a childhood filled with severe medical issues, life-threatening illnesses of the immune, respiratory, and cardiac systems.[28]

Mountaineering[edit]

Aldarraji arrived at climbing as a hobby "by coincidence" following an initial experience alongside friends in Malaysia.[27] In interviews she frequently cites a desire to overcome fear—she says she has a phobia of heights—as a motivation to take up mountain climbing more seriously. Though she says her family originally expressed fear and hesitation as well over her choice of hobby, they came to support her.[29]

Aldarraji has since summited in Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia (her first major climb), Annapurna Poon Hill in Nepal, Mount Bromo in Indonesia, Jebel Jais and other mountains in the Emirates, and has reached base camp of Everest (the latter being her highest elevation yet, at 5,500 meters).[30][31] She states that her intention is to complete the world seven summits. At the completion of each summit, she takes a photo while raising the Iraqi flag.[32] Despite having a full-time architecture job, she trains for 3–4 hours daily.[26][29]

Aldarraji states that she hopes her story inspires other young Iraqis, especially women, to consider mountain climbing. She also hopes to use the publicity of her summit attempts to raise resources for humanitarian causes in Iraq.[33]

Additional hobbies include boxing, scuba diving, running, and visual arts (drawing and photography).[29]

Media representation and women's rights[edit]

She has served as an ambassador for an Iraqi Women's Rights organization since 2018.[27][34]

In 2019, she appeared on the show Jaafar Talk in her capacity as an Iraqi women's rights activist to debate the topic of polygyny in Islam.[35][36] That summer she also featured as a speaker at TedXBaghdad, held on July 20 at AlRasheed Hotel.[32]

In April 2020 she was featured as a part of the Iraqiyat campaign (#عراقيات), highlighting the achievements of young Iraqi women, as part of the national governmental initiative "For a New Iraq."[37][38]

In interviews she repeats that she is committed to "breaking down barriers that come between me and my success and advancement, as well as breaking the stereotype placed on women in our society, namely that women are unable to confront physical challenges."[25][39]
