The purposeful uproar recently raised in Armenia regarding the Caucasian Albanian monuments located in Azerbaijan's Karabakh region—specifically the Gandzasar Monastery—amounts to nothing more than an attempt to manufacture a cheap, meaningless sensation completely divorced from historical and scientific reality, APA reports.
The assessment was articulated in a statement issued by staff members of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences regarding the controversy stirred up in Armenia over the Gandzasar Monastery.
The statement reads: "In reality, the Gandzasar Monastery complex—and the Gandzasar Monastery itself, which is a key component of it—is a historical monument belonging to Caucasian Albania; it has no connection to Armenian history. The fact that this monument belongs to Albania and its indigenous population, the Albanians, has long been proven by irrefutable historical and archaeological evidence. One of the most significant facts confirming this is that the Gandzasar Monastery was built within the historical geographical territory of Caucasian Albania—a region that had no connection to the Armenians. That territory was one of the principal provinces of the Caucasian Albanian state and shared in its historical development."
