/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Young scholar from Armenia, candidate of historical
sciences, Yerevan resident Arsen Hakobyan holds field research in eastern
region of the North Caucasus, reported the Yerkramas newspaper of Armenians
of Russia. A group of Armenians, who migrated from Derbent, Kuba, Mushkur
regions to the North Caucasus in 18th century, became his research objects.
They settled in Saint Cross (Surb Khach, now - Budennovsk), Kizlyar,
Edessia, etc. Residents of Kilvar and Madras Armenian villages deported from
the Azeri Soviet Socialist Republic in 1988-1989 also refer to this group in
general. This unique group of Armenians spoke Iranian (Tat language) owing
to historical developments. It should be emphasized that the work being
carried out by the young scholar from Armenia is per se first ethnographic
research of that group of Armenians. Taking into account the conflict
potential of the region, the urgency of research on contemporary Armenian
issues in the North Caucasus is of special importance.
