Ethnocultural Heritage of Caucasian Albania (collection of articles),, vol.172, no.3, pp.137-144, 2022 (Peer-Reviewed Journal)
Although we can find information about Albania and Albanians in the works of ancient and early medieval authors, the “The History of the Albanians” by Albanian chronicler Movses Kaghankatvatsi stands out as a source of information about the historical geography, population, and ethnocultural environment of Caucasian Albania (4th century BC – early 8th century AD). Because much of the work is based on the author’s personal observations, the “The History of the Albanians” describes in detail the events that occurred in Azerbaijan during the Early Middle Ages, and gives extensive information about the Hun, Barsil, Onogur, and Khazar tribes who had migrated here since the first centuries of our era, as well as their religious beliefs and traditions. As the first and only local source of the Early Middle Ages, this work is one of the most valuable sources for studying the events in the ancient and early medieval history of Azerbaijan.
