"WEST AZERBAIJAN" AGAINST EASTERN ARMENIA OR HISTORICAL FALSIFICATION AS A PREFACE TO POLITICAL PROCESSES

Abstract

The great and current role of referencing ancient maps and historical geography is significant not only from a scientific perspective but also from political and source-critical viewpoints. Today, Azerbaijanis are exerting every effort to manipulate, falsify, and propagate a false history, pursuing far-reaching political goals. Our research is based on the work of I. Chopin, which contains the most reliable and comprehensive information about the Armenian Region and the Sevan Lake basin, as well as maps published in different periods, materials from the National Archive of Armenia, and many other sources. In the article, in light of indisputable facts, it becomes evident once again that the claims of today's "neighbor" to Eastern Armenia are unfounded and fabricated.
