Los Angeles. Husniyya Hasanova-APA. Azerbaijanis and Armenians are
closest peoples in Caucasus, concluded Ivan Nasidze and Mark Stonek,
Professors of Anthropology Department of the Pennsylvania State
University after they have researched DNK code of 9 Caucasian peoples,
APA US bureau reports.
The scientists took blood samples from 353 unrelated representatives
of the Caucasian peoples- Azerbaijani, Georgian, Armenian, Kabardin,
Ingush, Chechen, Abkhaz, Circassian and Dargin and researched
similarity between these samples. They have concluded despite that
Azerbaijanis belong to Altai group and Armenians - to Indo-European
group, both are closest people. The scientists supposed that both
peoples were very closest 1300-1400 years ago. Oguz movement to
Azerbaijan resulted with the approach of Azerbaijani language to
Altai group over the past eleven centuries. Armenians got their modern
language under the influence of Indo-European group.
