  • Mongolia May Regulate Genghis Khan Name
  • By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
  • Filed at 414 p.m. ET
  • ULAN BATOR, Mongolia (AP) -- Mongolia's
    legislature on Thursday began debating a law on
    regulating the use of Genghis Khan's name in a
    bid to prevent the memory of the legendary
    conqueror from being cheapened.
  • Since Mongolia emerged from the shadow of the
    Soviet Union in 1991, the isolated Asian nation
    has applied the moniker of its favorite son to
    more than half a dozen brands of vodka and beer
    and a variety of other commercial products.
  • The trend reflects the immense pride Mongolians
    feel about a man who established an empire that
    stretched across Asia all the way to central
    Europe in the early 13th century.
  • While Genghis Khan is reviled in much of the
    world as a symbol of barbarism, Mongolians see
    him as a symbol of order and civilization. He is
    a touchstone of national identity in a nation
    sandwiched between Russia and China and wary of
    being swallowed up by either.
  • Lawmaker E. Bat-Uul said that since the
    prohibition on the use of Genghis Khan's name and
    imagery had been lifted following the breakup of
    the Soviet Union, Mongolians had gone overboard
    in attaching them to products and brands that
    brought disrepute on a revered national symbol.
  • ''We are not showing enough respect to Genghis
    Khan,'' he said. ''We tend to use his name more
    on vodka bottles. If today somebody produces
    toilet paper with Genghis Khan's name, we do not
    know what to do about it as currently there is no
    law to regulate this issue.''
  • Under the provisions of the new law, use of the
    name Genghis Khan for commercial purposes would
    be granted only by the government, which would
    set fees for its licensing.
  • The law would also give the Mongolian president
    the right to select an official Genghis Khan
    portrait from one of about 10 currently in
    circulation and define the organizations
    authorized to use it.
  • It would forbid the Genghis Khan name or portrait
    to be employed in a degrading or insulting manner
    or to serve the interests of political parties or
    non-governmental bodies.
  • Lawmaker D. Arvin said a major feature of the new
    legislation would be to prevent foreigners from
    cashing in on Genghis Khan's name for their own
    purposes.
  • ''Foreigners are attempting to use the Genghis
    Khan name and image for their use,'' he said.
    ''They are saying Genghis Khan was born in
    Kazakhstan or the Siberian part of Russia or
    Chinese Inner Mongolia and thus distorting our
    history.''
  • The legislature is expected to vote on the bill
    next week. If it passes, it will almost certainly
    be signed into law by President Nambaryn
    Enkhbayar, who submitted it.
