Presentation of the work "Ethnopolitical and Cultural History of Karabakh in the Light of Armenian Claims" held

On July 22, 2016, a presentation for the first volume of the three-part work "Ethnopolitical and Cultural History of Karabakh in the Light of Armenian Claims," titled "Karabakh during the Period of Caucasian Albania," was held at the Presidential Library.
During the event attended by members of the Milli Majlis, historians, and public representatives, Mayil Ahmadov, the director of the Presidential Library, provided a brief overview of the presented work. He stated that this book, co-authored by researcher Eldar Amirov, lecturer at the Department of International Relations and Country Studies at Baku Slavic University and a PhD in Political Sciences, along with Ukrainian researcher Maxim Mayorov, a member of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance (UINR), sheds new scientific light on the pre-Islamic history of Karabakh with fresh evidence.
Maxim Mayorov, one of the book’s authors, a Ukrainian researcher, and a member of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance (UINR), participated in the event online and discussed the relevance of the research. He noted that, since the late 1980s, the Azerbaijani people have been facing the issue of territorial integrity, a challenge that Ukraine has also encountered since 2013. 
It was highlighted that the presented book sheds light on the deepest layers of history, revealing important moments. Written in Russian, this work reaches a broader audience, which is significant for conveying the realities of Azerbaijan to the world.
Later, Dr. Eldar Amirov, a PhD in Political Sciences, provided detailed information about the book’s first volume. He noted that this volume consists of a preface and four chapters. In the foreword, various examples examine the falsification traditions in Armenian historiography, allowing readers to familiarize themselves with the unfounded claims made by Armenians regarding the cultural and historical heritage of Azerbaijan, as well as that of other nations such as Georgians, Turks, Russians, and Ukrainians.
The head of the Department of International Relations and Country Studies at Baku Slavic University, Professor Mammad Aliyev, along with Members of Parliament Hikmat Babaoghlu, Musa Gasimli, and Elman Nasirov, and the head of the Karabakh Research Center, Elchin Ahmadov, discussed the significance of the book. It was emphasized that this work sheds light on Azerbaijan's little-studied history. The book exposes Armenian fabrications in Armenian authors' words, which is particularly important.
