Prof. Firudin Agasioglu on Turkic roots of Caucasian Albanians

On August 20, 2020, Prof. Firudin Agasioglu Jalilov, a well-known Azerbaijani scholar, discussed the early Turkic roots of Azerbaijani people. He talked about the ancient proto-Turkic speaking tribes such as Kuti, lullubi, su, turukki, Skits, Sakhs, and others who established states in the territory of Azerbaijan. He noted that these states were able to create powerful states and established alliances with neighborhood states. According to Prof. Agasioglu, the historical materials by early Latin and Greek sources indicate that Alban/Albaniya/Aghvan/Aghvanq/Aran states established by Turkic speaking tribes such as Kimmers/Kamar, Sakhas/Iskits, Masagets/Maskat/Maskut, Kaspi, As/az, and non-Turkic tribes who were minority in South and North Azerbaijan.

The Architecture of Caucasian Albanian Churches by Dr. Bayram Guliyev

On August 20, 2020, Dr. Bayram Bayramov talked about the Church of Albania or the Albanian Apostolic Church which was the most ancient Christian church in the Caucasus and survived to be independent until 1836. The architecture of the Albanian Churches was and are completely distinguishable from the Armenian Gregorian Churches. Despite the attempts to Armenize the Caucasian Albanian churches during the Russian colonialists, Armenian settlers in the Caucasus and the Soviet Empire, these churches have always remained valuable cultural and historical heritage of great Azerbaijan.

Historian Fatima Quliyeva on Forceful Armenization of Azerbaijan's Christian Monuments

On August 20, 2020, Fatima Quliyeva talked about the forceful Armenization of the Christian heritage of Azerbaijan. She mentioned that after the Russian invasion, a hundred thousand Armenians were settled in the territory of Azerbaijan, including West Azerbaijan. The research proves that the Alban/Kipchak Christian dynasties and political bodies in Karabagh, Sunik, and Gafan belong to Albanian feudal generations lived in Khachin in late middle ages who were descendants of Hasan Jalal’s family, Albanian Mehranilar and Arshakilar dynasties. 

Theologian Dr. Elsever Samedov on History of Christianity in Caucasian Albania

On August 20, 2020, Dr. Elsever Samedov gave a speech about the history of  Christianity in Azerbaijan. As it is well-known, Christianity spread in  Caucasian Albania in the 1st century through St. Elisæus of Albania, who was a disciple of St. Thaddeus of Edessa. Unfortunately, the Caucasian Albanian church did not survive the Armenization of the Church first during the Arab invasion and later on, the Russian occupation of Azerbaijan.
