"There are many books about Azerbaijan's history, featuring
Armenian-Azerbaijani relations in the light of Karabakh. Thinking
it important to correctly represent Azerbaijan's history, I wrote
this book in a year and a half time, but I had been collecting the
factual materials included in the book for years," Aris Ghazinyan,
the author of the book titled "Polygon Azerbaijan" said at the book's
launching ceremony.
The preparation work of the book was done by the Public Relation and
Information Center of the RA President's Administration.
The author noted that the book consists of three parts. The first part
dwells on the logic and history of the formation of the Azerbaijani
nation. The second part represents Azerbaijan's historiography. The
third part gives the history of development of Azerbaijan's statehood.
"Azerbaijan's statehood was proclaimed in 1918 by Enver Pasha's
brother, Nuri Pasha. Baku became the capital of Azerbaijan Republic
only after Armenian massacres were committed in Baku in 1918," said
Ghazinyan, adding that Azerbaijan proclaimed statehood three times,
and every time Azerbaijan became a republic the historical conditions
implied Armenian massacres.
"There is a common opinion among us that the Azerbaijanis who
were killing the Armenians were barbarian and half-educated. But
it was not so. We must always remember that there were Azerbaijani
intellectuals, editors, historians and engineers in the vanguard of
Armenian massacres," said he.
According to Ghazinyan, he tried to represent the true history because
the international community and experts are not well aware of the
issue, and the Azerbaijani propaganda machine constantly represents
its own viewpoint, making it sound convincing.
The book gives Azerbaijan's history in the context of global political
processes, said the author.
