FALSIFICATION OF THE HISTORY OF YEREVAN AND ARTSAKH IN AZERBAIJANI SCHOOLTEXTBOOKS (GENERAL OBSERVATIONS)

Abstract

Azerbaijani authors, unable to deny the presence of Armenians in Artsakh, present the latter as Christian Aghvans who later became Armenian for one reason or another, and later show their presence in Artsakh and elsewhere as a consequence of the Russian resettlement policy, which contradicts historical realities, because the presence of Armenians in the area in question has been evidenced since ancient times. In the same way, Azerbaijani authors try in every possible way to reject any fact of the presence of Armenians in the current territory of Republic of Armenia, but their attempts contradict the information of Armenian and foreign sources, where, on the contrary, the presence of Armenians in the territory of their own homeland is proven in all eras of history.

In the history of Azerbaijan, we are witnessing absolute Armenian hatred, because during the entire narrative of their history, Azerbaijani authors strive to reject everything Armenian, both in the territory of the Republic of Armenia and in Artsakh, not stopping at any falsehood on this path. The examples given, where the writings of Azerbaijanis have no justifications or one writing contradicts the other, are vivid proofs of the mentioned.
