                                      US scientists: �Azerbaijanis and Armenians are closest peoples in Caucasus�

Los Angeles. Husniyya Hasanova-APA.
Azerbaijanis and Armenians are closest peoples in Caucasus, concluded
Ivan Nasidze and Mark Stonek, Professors of Anthropology Department of
the Pennsylvania State University after they have researched DNK code
of 9 Caucasian peoples, APA US bureau reports.  

  The scientists took blood
samples from 353 unrelated representatives of the Caucasian peoples-
Azerbaijani, Georgian, Armenian, Kabardin, Ingush, Chechen, Abkhaz,
Circassian and Dargin and researched similarity between these samples.
They have concluded despite that Azerbaijanis belong to Altai group and
Armenians � to Indo-European group, both are closest people. The
scientists supposed that both peoples were very closest 1300-1400 years
ago. Oguz movement to Azerbaijan resulted with the approach of
Azerbaijani language to Altai group over the past eleven centuries.
Armenians got their modern language under the influence of
Indo-European group.
