Head of the center Shalala Hasanova said Iravan fortress is the history of Azerbaijan and all facts prove that these territories belong to us.
â€œPresident Ilham Aliyev has also repeatedly said that Iravan and the present territories of the entire Armenia belonged to the Azerbaijanis,â€ she said.

Hasanova said the portal www.erivangala500.com covers detailed information about Iravan.

Video about the history of Iravan and the facts proving that the fortress belong to Azerbaijan was demonstrated. The video showed that the city of Iravan was destroyed by Armenians, Turkish, Muslim monuments were destroyed and modern buildings were constructed. The video also presented the speech made by Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan during the visit of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev proving that the ancient fortress existed in this city.

Sector chief of the public policy department of the Presidential Administration Fuad Akhundov, historian, professor Farida Mammadova, professor of Sukhumi University of Georgia Guram Markhulia, director of the Copyright Agency Kamran Imanov, professor Rauf Huseynov, Doctor of Philosophy Vafa Guliyeva addressed the event.

Fuad Akhundov said www.erivangala500.com will play an important role in the information war.
â€œThousands have watched the video posted on the portal. Armeniansâ€™ reaction shows that this is a blow for them,â€ he said.

The e-version of the book â€œGandzasar manuscriptsâ€ by Armenian historian Orbeli was also demonstrated at the event. It was noted that shortly after the book was published, it was suppressed. Groundlessness of Armeniaâ€™s history in the book was shown as the reason for it.
