BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 29. Baku has served
as the venue for the unveiling of the “Virtual Western Azerbaijan”
encyclopedic compilation, Trend reports.
Prepared by the Strategic Communications Center, the collection
is based on primary sources and provides a comprehensive resource
on Western Azerbaijan, covering its natural geography, historical
geography, archaeology, ethnography, and political, socio-economic,
military, and cultural history from ancient times to the
present.
The online resource consists of 8 main sections, 34 headings,
and 55 subheadings, organized by location, including cities,
districts, and villages, allowing users to easily access detailed
information about each area. The research highlights Azerbaijani
settlements, religious and historical monuments, and cultural
heritage in what is now the territory of the Republic of Armenia.
It also documents, based on scientific analysis, the forced
resettlement of Armenians during the Russian Empire and Soviet
periods, the ethnic cleansing, massacres, and deportations suffered
by the local Azerbaijani population, and the deliberate changes of
place names, supported by historical maps of the region.
