/MONTSAME/ On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of Victory of the Battle of
Khalkhiin Gol, the government of Mongolia, Ministry of Defense, National
Defense University, and the Institute for Defense Studies are organizing the ‘Battle
of Khalkhiin Gol - 80’ academic conference today, on August 23.
Today, scholars’
controversies continue over the cause, progress, end, aftermath, and effects of
the battle, and even the term used to describe it with views differing about
whether it was a war, battle, or border dispute. Thus, the conference is taking
place to let the national and foreign scholars give their views and confer about
recent findings, expand cooperation, and determine research methods.
Two main
presentations are being given on the geo-strategies employed by the neighboring
and other countries in regard to Mongolia in the 1930s and the cause,
aftermath, and military tactics of the battle and 16 other presentations about
the battle.
In the conclusion of the event, the scholars will determine directions of their joint research relating to the Battle of Khalkhiin Gol and create a database.
