"Map of the Caucasus preserved in London in 1870. The peculiarity of the map is that there is no area and place for armenians. Here, The Caucasus has been showed as in. And so there is not anything about armenians in The Western Azerbaijan (the so-called Republic of Armenia) and Nagorno-Karabakh too.]]

Karabakh is one of the most ancient regions of not only Azerbaijan but also the entire world

Karabakh is one of the ancient regions of Azerbaijan. The name of this inseparable part of Azerbaijan consists of two different Azerbaijani words: "gara" (black) and "bag" (garden). The combination of these two words is as ancient as the nation of Azerbaijan. The association of these two combined words with the definite part of Azerbaijan in every part of the world is an oracle. The word Karabakh given by the Azerbaijan nation to a part of their native lands was used for the first time 1,300 years ago (in the 7th century)!?. At first, Karabakh was used as a historical-geographical definition, but it later transformed to cover a larger geographical area. By the way, this aspect is very typical for Azerbaijan: Nakhchivan city - Nakhchivan region, Sheki city - Shaki region, Ganja city - Ganja region, Lenkoran city- Lenkoran region and etc. The history of the formation of Karabakh as a name of one particular region, provides a better scientific explanation for its etymology. Because the word "gara" has other meanings in Azerbaijani language (also in other Turkic languages) as well - such as "sih" (dense), "galin" (thick), "boyuk" (big, large), "tund" (strong), and others. From this point of view the term Karabakh gets such meanings as "gara bag" (dark garden), that is "boyuk bag" (a large garden), "six bag" (a dense garden), "galin bag" (a thick garden), "safali bag" (a picturesque garden) and others. Thus, the word "Karabakh" belongs to Azerbaijani people as Karabakh does itself. When Karabakh is a topic of discussions, the question of the location of Karabakh arises at first. What part of Azerbaijan does include Karabakh? The answer to this question of a high importance, and it is necessary to understand the problem of "Daghlig Garabagh" produced by the Armenians. Let us address ourselves to the origins in order to answer the question. When Karabakh khanate of Azerbaijan included this territory its regent Mirza Jamal Javanshir in consideration of this question in his work the "History of Karabakh" wrote: "According to the ancient historical books the frontiers of Karabakh are: from the south the river Araz - from Hudapharin Bridge to Sinig Bridge. At present the population of Gazah, Shamseddin and Demerchi-Hesenly lives near this bridge and Russian Tatars call it using the Russian term Krasniy Most that is the Red Bridge. From the east - the Kur River, which flows into the Araz River in Javad village and flows into the Caspian Sea. From the north - the Goran River, which flows from the Yelizavetpol frontier of Karabakh to the Kur Riverr, crosses it in many parts and riches the Araz River. From the west - the high mountains of Karabakh called Kusbek, Salvarti, Erikli. Such a detailed description of the territory and frontiers of Karabakh at the first stages of Russian occupation and colonization are explained by the following factors: 1) this fact is described by an official person directly connected with the government of Karabakh, in other words, this fact is reflected in an official document composed by an official representative of Russia; 2) on the other hand this fact is not only based at practices and realities, but it also finds reflection in the references. It is not occasional that ancient books are used to prove the position of Mirza Jamal. There was a general definition of Karabakh, which was not used only for Daghlig Garabagh, but for both mountainous and plain parts. In other words, the word combination of "Daglig Garabag" (Mountainous Karabakh) is a product of the subsequent periods, the name given to the one of the part of Karabakh as a result of separatist intentions. Even an ordinary logic proves this fact: If there is "Daglig Garabag" then there must be flat or low-lying Karabakh too! The reality is that there are both Daghlig Garabagh and Low-lying Karabakh (that is flat Karabakh) in Azerbaijan! And always both low-lying (flat) and Daglig (mountainous) Karabakh during all historical periods were the motherland of one nation - the nation of Azerbaijan, the nation who has in its language the words "gara" and "bag"! Hundreds of the most ancient and rarest models of folklore, which are the brilliant musical pearls of the nation of Azerbaijan, were created in Karabakh and are related to Karabakh. It proves Azerbaijan to be one of the cradles of the mankind along with Karabakh, the Mediterranean Sea basin and East Africa. The jaw bone of the Azykh human -Azykhantrope was found in the Acheulian layer of the Azykh cave in 1968. The Azykhantrope is proposed to live 350-400 thousand years ago. The mustye culture of Karabakh was mainly represented by the Taghlar cave. Great changes occurred in the life of Karabakh in the neolite (6-4th millenniums B.C.), bronze and the first iron age (late 4th-early 1 millenniums B.C.). The late Bronze and early iron ages (13-8th centuries B.C) were called the Khodjaly-Gedebey culture. The agate beads with the cuneiform once belonging to the Assyria ruler Adad nirar were found in the archeological monument of the Khodjaly cemetery of that period. These findings and a number of others confirm the existence of economic and culture relations with the Near East. Ethno-political processes developed along with the industrial and cultural ones. The strong state Manna appeared in the south of Azerbaijan (9-6 centuries B.C), and it managed to protect its independence in the fight with Assyria and Urartu. Urartu's intervention bypassed the lands of the North Azerbaijan including Karabakh. Armenian ethnos did not exist at that time in the South Caucasus (Transcaucasia). Prominent researches, collective monographs authors expressed unanimous views on the political history of Transcaucasia. The major part of Urartu was located out of the bounds of USSR. The areas of compact settlement of Armenians of the ancient period and Middle Ages were also out of the bounds of the present-day Armenia SSR. The situation changed in times of the Midia state (672-550 B.C) that put an end to the wealth of Urartu. Midia subdued the South-Eastern Transcaucasia. Such a state were typical of the Akhameni period (550-330 B.C). The political processes stepped to a new stage following the overthrow of the Ahameni state by Macedonian Alexander. As a result of that after the death of Macedonian Alexander that ruled for a short period of time, his empire fell into a number of states and Atropatena appeared in the south of Azerbaijan, while Albania -in the north. Atropatena owned the north lands of Azerbaijan in the 4th B.C and part of the lands that constituted Karabakh were subdued to that very state. Albania that established simultaneously with Atropatena existed in the 4-8th centuries B.C and played a great role in the history of Azerbaijan of nearly 1200 years. Albania covered the entire territory of Karabakh and it did everything possible to hold this region in its hands and reached its aim with few exceptions. Likewise Karabakh belonged to Azerbaijani Albania state, the ethnic communities residing there-uti, sovdey, qargar and others were also Albanian tribes. Armenians first appeared in the South Caucasus (Transcaucasia) after the 2nd century B.C. Their aggressive activity against local states and peoples started with their settlement in these regions. At that time Armenians called the Armenian kingdom in the east of the Asia Minor the Great Armenia and tried to introduce the lands in which they settled as their own. As a result of the defeat of Tigran the Second by the Roman Empire in 66 B.C the false legend about the Great Armenia failed and Armenians were turned into the vassals of the Roman Empire. The situation remained changeless till the 4th century. Azerbaijan-Albania state continued its independent policy and included the historical province Karabakh. The all-Turk prominent monument of the oral folklore literature epos Kitabi Dede Gorgut also proves that Karabakh belongs to Azerbaijan and different Turkic tribes lived in the country. The epos Dede Gorgut was widely spread in all the regions of Azerbaijan including Karabakh and the basin of the Goycha lake in the 6-7th centuries. As stated in this valuable national epos, some oghuz heroes even met with him to express their respect. The famous Oghuzname (from the Kitabi-Diyarbekir written by Abu Bekr Tehrani in 1470) written by the instruction of the Aggoyunlu ruler Uzun Gasan (1453-1478) proved that the Goycha lake pastures and Karabakh belonged to ancient oghuz turks, that the forefather of the oghuz turks Oghuz Khagan was buried on the Goycha lake shore and that Bayandur khagan lived and buried in Karabakh on the Goycha lake pastures. The dramatic changes occurred in the history of Karabakh with the intervention of Arabian Caliphate and the downfall of Albania. Before Arabian intervention the ethnic composition of the historical population of Karabakh had been homogeneous that is all the tribes generated from Azeri-Arbanian roots while as a result of the tragic policy of Arabic caliphate the religion of Armenians dominated in the mountain regions of the province and later this process occurred in the ethnic field as well: the population of the historical region of Albania Arsakh was first converted to gregorianity and later armenified. The 19th-early 13th centuries, the period of the Sadjids-Atabeys-Shirvanshahs were the times pf the strengthening of Azerbaijan in the entire South Caucasus. In fact Sadjids and Atabeys unified the historical lands of Azerbaijan. The Khachyn principality, established on the territory of the former Albania reached the highest level of its development in times of Gasan Djelal (1215-1261) from the dynasty of Mehranies. He is known as the prince of the Khachyn states, the mighty prince of the Khachyn and Arsakh states as well as the ruler of Albania in the narrative and epigraphic monuments of that period. In other words, the great titles of Gasan Djalal related to the history of Azerbaijani Albania. One of the most wonderful pearls of Albanian architecture-the Ganzasar monastery was erected at that period… In period of the ruling of Kharezmshah Djelaleddin, that ruined Atabeys state weakened by the first intervention of Mongolians (1220-1222) Karabakh was controlled by him (1225-1231). In period of the second intervention of Mongolians and the completion of Azerbaijan's occupation (1231-1239) Karabakh like other lands of Azerbaijan was part of the Mongolian khaganate (1239-1256) and later of Hulakues (Elkhanies ) state (1256-1357). The information of this period of Karabakh's history is much wider and well studied It would be enough to say that two of the Mongolian rulers (Gazan khan and Arpa khan) ascended the throne in Karabakh and two others (Argun khan and Abu Said) died there In the 15th century Karabakh was part of the Azeri states Garagoyunlu (1410-1467) and Aggoyunlu (1468-1501). Yet in times of Garagoyunlus an event occurred in the life of Karabakh which told on its further history. The dynasty of the former Albanian ruler Gasan Djelal (Djelali) was attached the title of the melik (ruler) from the Garagoyunlu shah Djahan in the 15th century. Later the property of Djelalis was dividec in five feudal principalities (Gulistan, Djeravert, Khachyn, Varanda and Dizaq)… The centralization of all the lands of Azerbaijan was initiated with the establishment of the Sefevi state (1501). The lands of Azerbaijan were completely centralized as a single state in the mid 16th century. Thus, the Sefeli state of Azerbaijan became the second larger region after the Osmanly empire. At that period the ethnic and political predominance of Armenians was not possible. On the contrary, the ethnic and political borders of Azerbaijan became clearer then. Sefevis established four principalities in Azerbaijan including the Karabakh or Ganja province. The detailed journals worked out in that regions creates clear picture of the administrative division of the said principality. According to the date of 1593 the Ganja-Karabakh province fell into 7 regions and 36 districts. Almost all of 1.3 thousand geographical names were taken from Azeri language. After the Sefevies lost their strong positions, the lands of Azerbaijan became the center of wars between, Iran, Russian and the Osmanly empire. At that period the Ganja-Karabakh lands were part of the Osmanly empire. The journals worked out in times of the Osmanly empire also prove the domination of Azerbaijanis among the region's population. According to the census enumerations the population of the Ganja-Karabakh province totaled 122 thousand people in 1727. Azerbaijanis accounted for 80.3 thousand people (66%), Armenians (if exactly the armenified Albanians converted to gregorianism) -for 37.8 thousand people (31%), Kurds-for 3.7 thousand people (3.1%). At the reported period the Albanians that were converted to gregorianism intensified their political activity under the active support of Russia. Nadir shah Afshar who came to power overthrowing the last Sefevi ruler Abbas the third applied cruel punitive measures to the Turkic-Muslim population of the Ganja-Karabakh province that did not recognize his government. This factor helped consolidation of the Karabakh Albanian meliks and provoked the separatism. After the death of Nadir his state fell into pieces and new states-khanates were established in Azerbaijan. In other words, Azerbaijan restored its independence through creation of such states. Two Azeri khanates Ganja and Karabakh established on the territory of the former Ganja-Karabakh province.

Etymology of “Arsak” word

For a long time, the Armenians try to delete names of residences from the memory by changing them in the occupied territories. Even they explain the Turkic- Azerbaijan origin words as Armenian origin. One of such words is "Arsak" toponym that has been proved many times having nothing common to Armenians. Pompey Troq proposed the idea of “Arsaq’s origin is unknown", the Danish scientist who discovered the language of Orkhon-Yenisey monuments V. Tomsen repeated the same idea about as. V.V.Bartold said that as were "non-Turkic", L.N.Gumilev a "secret people". Only in words like Asia, Caucasus, the Azov, a continent, country and sea names as / az word to prove that once as were the powerful nations of the world. Ancient and modern names of rivers, sea, mountain like Astrakhan (Astrakhan), Astara, Asnı (village, tea, folk, mountain-Sharur region), os / os (Kyrgizstan, France, Hungary, etc.) tomonyims proved that as was multiaddressed and multicountry people. In some places, in Hungary, Chuvayia Es, Oss, As, Asher / Aser toponyms are the memory of the great past of as.

In far Japan Asakhi (white as) the city, river, sea, mountain names attract the attention as phonetic variants of the akas / asak words The author of XIX century Ivan Chopin by noting existence of river, mountain and sea names with as word calls the asakhs (white as) as true owner of this lands. Author explains the meaning of as word "horse man". Thus, the composition of Arsak word derived from "Sak" and "asak" , which allows to reveal secrets of explaining toponyms, antroponyms, etnotoponyms related to as. Changing of "Asak" to "Sak" and "sak" to "Asak" may be accepted as writing styles in Orkhon-Yenisey monuments (V-IX centuries) in accordance with the facts of history ... ... In language of monuments like in text transcriptions, but certainly there are words when read beginning with the letter a (As, Az, Argu, akas). The last samples- ks in fact was transcribed by non-Turkish authors like same but without "a" in the form of kas (kaspi), and that led to idea that the talk is not about the “akas”, carried out millenniums but about the “kas” tribe “some abstract” tribe, the meaning and the fate of which was unknown. Therefore, Herodotus notes that the “kas” is a people who died for a long time. This situation can be referred to the ancient and middle ages Turkic words and ethinyms, the meaning of which is still unclear: kun (hun), bun, sibun, bask, ser, serik (seriki), ker (iya), etc. In fact, these words by adding the "a" akun (akhun-white on-white huns, ebun-on eblər, asibun-ten home as) belonged to the most ancient in the Caucasus, the Turkic-speaking people ebas ak (saks) – white as-ebi-home-motherland (Caucasian ), aser-azer, aserik (Aseriki) as the second-as Aker-Iya-(Caucasus) - "White er". Sample itself shows that "sak" historically was "asak" (white as).

In work of Strabo of V century BC we met the name of king of Iran Ksereks and Ksersana province in Erman- turk province. Reading of ks in "Akasia" words occurred in this word too and have changed recognized patterns in Turkic languages. According to the ancient Turkish alphabet, ak aser akas ... (White as master) and the akas er ak, as on ... (the white as men white as) expressions are the name of titles for millennia of BC. In the past, in Turkish hands, “Uluğ ak as er eli” and “Kiçiq ak as er eli” ("el" - means the state) supposes that they are the ancient names of "The Great Media" and "Small Media". These names now was preserved in Morocco and Algeria in words "al Ksar El Kebir" and "El Ksar al-Sagir" . Rum (Turkey), "Eron". Due to the nature of the ancient Turkish alphabet in-text this word (Ron) is run. Word consists of two parts - "er" and "on" and using on number like in Unaqeb – home of whites - Marv, Karkuns’ white men- as the head. So, Eron means “home of ten ers”. In millennium BC, Turkish as tribes numbered from one to thousand and even more. In this sense, Eron in the non-Turkish authors’ transcription (without e) was recorded as "Run". Araqon and Alazon (er, ak, on, and on) in the Caucasus informs about ancient addresses of az on -on az and azlar and On tribes. Replacing of word n ® m at the end of "Run" word was typical for Turkish language. M. Kashgari (XI century) writes based on qurun-qurum, boğun-boğum: "This law is characteristic of the Turkic languages. I accept it as "the new Turkish". But ordinary people of qıpcaq and other tribes speak like that."

RAQ. According to Strabo’s note after it has been restored the city called by Greeks as "Yevrop" was called by Parthians as "Arsak". According to the above-mentioned peculiarities of the ancient Turkish alphabet Erak (Arak) word was "ağ ərlər” (white men) and its form of his writing by the Greek authors was transcribed in fact not as Erak (Arak) but as RAQ. The from of this word in centuries BC and millenniums belonging to Turkish community was reflected in the name of tributary of the Kura River - "Arak”, as well as the town of Midia" Raq "actually Raq- Erak. With name of "Arak" (Arak) existence of Akar (naniya), Akar (nanlar) as a community, region, tribes not only in the Caucasus, proves that they had motherlands outside it, too. Ibn Khordadbeh (IX century) informs about city known under the name Er-Rey (near Tehran) belonged to Midia and Yagut Hamavi (XII-XIII century) reported that Raq city, which has been conquered by Omar Khalifa and ruined in 1220 by the Mongols. It is clear that now the Iraqi Turkmen calls "Eraq" for "Iraq" and it was connected with name of the "Aker" (erak), and the Arabs pronounced it as "Eraq" . It should be noted that, name of "Iran" country’s was emerged as Iron (in kipchak- on er) and it if of Turkic origin, which now considered as Iran. In addition to that we can say that now in the Caucasus (Georgia) Ironi toponym also proves it.

Van (Turkey) "Ebon". the opening of this word related to On ev tribe means the house of Onas- Onasların evi - the motherland. Ancient names of city, place of residence, mountains Ion, Eleon (Il on, El on), Araqon (er-ak –on) proves that on as er (sak er) was settled not only in the Caucasus but in the Middle East, Asia Minor, etc. Being "Bon" origin Afon (Afos) - "On" ların evi (On asların evi) in Frakia, the replacement of name of peninsula, the mountain of the b ® f, e ® a, a ® o , finally, the transcription of "ebon" w/o e ( bon) became "Van" – the name of lake and state. This type of historical and modern Arbun, Orkun, (Orkhon River), Krun, Karun, Askeran, Shabran etc. place of residence was linked to as aklar (Sak), as well as reflects the meaning of Arsak. As can be seen, the word Arsak is of same origin of words like Arsarı, Artogrul, Ardahan, Ardabil, Araz (Araz), Erzurum, Arak (Arakh), etc. with er word but also it is of pure Turkic origin ... ... Obviously, invaded the Caucasus foreigners has no right from historical or moral point of view to own the name Arsak (Arsak) – derived from “Er asak” meant the land of Ag as er, i.e. Garabagh.
