    RUSSIA DISTORTS HISTORY OF THE CAUCASUS

    An interesting incident was reported May 17 in Yerevan between
    two Russian politicians. On this day, Russian Member of Parliament
    Constantine Zatulin addressed the conference, organized by the chairman
    of the Union of Armenians of Russia. Speaking about the history of
    the Caucasian peoples, he enumerated the Armenians, Georgians and
    the Azerbaijanis or "ancient Albanians," as Zatulin referred to the
    Azerbaijanis. Armenian political scientist Andranik Mihranyan living in
    Russia, sitting not far from him, displayed a keen sense of national
    identity and corrected his mistake. "Those are different nations,"
    said Mihranyan.

    "Maybe," Zatulin replied to Mihranyan with an ambiguous smile. "Maybe,
    although there can be different opinions on this," announced Zatulin,
    deepening the historical roots of the Azerbaijanis.
