Karabakh

"Azerbaijan" did not exist before 1920. The majority of the people in the Caspian Peninsula were Tatars (or Tartars). The Albanians (or as Armenians called them, the "Aghvan") were assimilated by the Turkic people were these tribes started to move into the Armenian highland. The Muslim leaders of Transcaucasia chose the name "Azerbaijan" in the hope that they could some day also make claims to the actual "Azerbaijan" which had always been a integral part of the Persian domain (present east and west Azerbaijani provinces in Iran).

Karabakh (or "Artsakh" as Armenians call it) was actually the last semi-independent area with Armenian rule (within the Persian kingdom):

"These five principalities in Karabakh were ruled by Armenian families who had received the title Melik (prince) and were the following: the principality of Gulistan, under the leadership of the Melik Biglarian family, the principality of Djrabert under the leadership of the Melik Israelian family, the principality of Khatchen, under the leadership of the Hassan Djalalian family, the principality of Varanda, under the leadership of the Melik Shahnazarian and finally, the principality of Tizk, under the leadership of the Melik Avanian family. /37/

     At the peak of Azeri population in Karabagh, they still only constituted 23% of the population of the province (1988).

Originally posted by Taleyran01 then timuri, then safavid, then russians

     Timur wasn't an Azeri, and the Safavids were an Iranian Empire. What do Russians have to do with Turks/Azeris?

     If you want to discuss Khojali, theres already a thread for it. I fail to see what that has to do with Azeris having a claim to Karabagh, though.

welcome to AE Taleyran01

besides that, I dont think any of the Armenians here went to an Armenian high school

any school in there

 

any school that u guys go there in the place of High School

Or maybe u dont go to school at all

no, there was not any country before 1900 that was called Azerbaijan

It is not the name of the nation, u know probably, it is the name of place, which, some scientists say, comes from Atropatena-Which was not a turkish

That was in Caucasia

Byzantine empires were armenian-

Is it a new "knock-knock" joke

Originally posted by Taleyran01 Byzantine empires were armenian- Is it a new "knock-knock" joke

     Nope, its a historical fact.

Basil I becomes the Byzantine emperor and establishes the Macedonian dynasty; until 1025, Byzantine emperors are at least part Armenian.

     Anyways, that has nothing to do with anything. I was just trying to show that you can't claim land just because some emperor of a foreign empire happens to be part of your ethnicity.

take what Karabakh? its already taken...

u didnt rule the land for 800 years because Azerbaijan did not exist for 800 years. That land switched from Armenia to Ottoman Empire to Persian Empire to Russian Empire, it was never part of Azerbaijan.

I am assuming you think Naxichevan was also yours? (well now it is )

The Heraclian Dynasty (575-705) was an Armenian dynasty, Philippicus Bardanes was Armenian (ruled for only 2 years though), Leo V was Armenian,  this is by year 850, I will stop here since its 2 AM here and I still got HW to do...look up the other years if you would like...

1)That is why Armenian pop. today is not more than 2 million

2)There is not any AZERBAIJANIAN NATION, there is Turkish

3)That is why there is today 8 million Turks living in Azerb.

4)I'll search the biography of your pointless emperors

5)Karabakh is not taken buddy-Go see world map-any except "Made in Armenia" ones

6)Atabeyler, Seljuklar, Karakoyunlu, Akkoyunlu, Safavid, Russian empire, ADR, Soviets-That is how we ruled over 800 years u

7)U wanna take Nakhichevan tooo, hmmm, I guess, U guys dont think about another war that will end with unconditional surrender  treaty  in Irevan

8)Azerbaijan will make next move, and u will be able to see that move

9)I am trying to argue in this topic that, u took over the land, with the help of russian guys, which it belongd to the nation which name is turkes and to the republic which name is Azerbaijan, And do not make me to bring the staff that u did with the people there
