/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The official website of the Kremlin published the
scientific work of Russian historians, investigating the historiography
of the CIS countries. According to the scientific paper, except
Belarus and Armenia, all other CIS countries, particularly Azerbaijan,
falsified their history, Ashot Melkonyan Director of the Institute
of History of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences told a press
conference in Yerevan.
This book ironically tells that the Azerbaijanis ascribe the Armenian
history to themselves and allege they are indigenous to the region,
and allege that the Armenians are "comers". "It’s ridiculous, since
before the 1930’s there was not simply a nation, Azerbaijanis at
all, and the word of Azerbaijan is taken from the geographical name
Atrpatakan. Prior to those days, Azerbaijanis were called Caucasian
Tatars," he said.
