ANAS Institute of History has already brought the documents from
Berlin, London, Paris, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Delhi, Istanbul,
Ankara and other cities
Baku. Konul Kamilgizi - APA. "I'm very sorry that today, there
are forces in Azerbaijan trying to object when we want to prove
with historical evidences how the Armenians have been resettled in
Azerbaijan and what they have done. I want to tell these internal
forces not to try to asperse the Institute of History and Yagub
Mahmudov," director of the Institute of History of Azerbaijan
National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) Yagub Mahmudov told journalists,
APA reports.
According to him, these forces should preserve their history and
should not leave for abroad after having grown up and got titles
in Azerbaijan.
Mahmudov said that the Institute of History has already brought the
documents from Berlin, London, Paris, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Delhi,
Istanbul, Ankara and other cities: "The whole world says through all
historical evidences that Armenians were resettled in Azerbaijan by
the Tsarist Russia. An Armenian province was created in the territory
of the former Irevan khanate."
Director of the Institute of History said Azerbaijan is the owner of
the lands, which Armenians claim to be theirs.
He said necessary studies would be continued.
"We are proving some issues to the Armenian historians, who in
"Real history and Great Armenia" book call us nomadic people and
try to ground that these lands do not belong to us. It is proved that
Armenians moved here from the Balkan peninsula. The ethnic group, which
are kin to phoenicians in the Balkan peninsula, are comers in Asia
and were resettled around the Van lake. Later, they were resettled in
the occupied Azerbaijani territories by the Tsarist Russia," he said.
