Baku, April 4 (AzerTAc). A lot of maps related to Azerbaijan, its historical territories have been found in the archives of world countries as France, UK, Turkey and other countries. Theses maps and other materials will be published in a book and promoted all over the world. The publication will be available in the Azerbaijani and English languages, and if necessary, the book will be translated into other languages, president of The European Azerbaijan Society (TEAS) Taleh Heydarov said. According to him, the maps had been obtained from the world’s famous archives: “These are the archives of Russia, France, Iran, UK, the Arab States and the countries of Central Asia. There are maps that have been revealed for the first time. For example, Armenians always claim that Karabakh was a part of the so-called “Great Armenia” in the first five centuries AD. We have found out maps that completely refute their claims,” he said. TEAS president said there are maps showing that these territories were a part of the ancient Caucasian Albania: “Hitherto unknown maps of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic have been found. They show that not only Karabakh, Zengezur, but also other territories belong to us. Medieval maps related to the period of Aggoyunlu, Garagoyunlu have also been found,” he said. Tale Heydarov noted that along with Russian archives, Azerbaijan-related historical materials are also available in the archives of Turkey.
