PanARMENIAN.Net - An expert at the Institute of Political and Social
Studies of Black Sea and Caspian region, Andrei Areshev commented on
the statement of the director of Azerbaijani Institute of History,
parliamentarian Yaqub Mahmudov.
As Mahmudov noted earlier, "Azerbaijani Albanian Church will be formed
to restore Albanian Auto-Cephalic Church abolished by tsarist Russia
in 1836."
"It's hard to assume what Mahmudov meant by formation of an Albanian
church. What regions of Azerbaijan will be included in the church,
who else beside members of Albanian -Udinian community of Azerbaijan
will be included in the church? Will other nations, Lezgins, Avarians,
Rutulians will be included? If mere creation, rather than restoration
in northern regions is meant, does it spell Azerbaijan's refusing
Albanian heritage of Karabakh?" the expert noted.
"What's the language liturgies will be served in? How will the new
structure interact with already existing church structures?" the
expert remarked.
