Eduard Sharmazanov writes on his Facebook page.
"As much as they want to falsify historical facts in Azerbaijan and forget them in Armenia, the truth is one thing: Artsakh and Utik are historical Armenian states, and that's it. The border of Armenia and Aghvank is the Kur river.
This is evidenced by Strabo, Pliny the Elder, Plutarch and Claudius Ptolemy.
It is an undeniable fact. Therefore, the attribution of purely Armenian spiritual monuments in Artsakh and Utik is the result of "slander", complete ignorance and deliberate distortion of history, regardless of what nationality and what structure the representative of that stupid and anti-Armenian "thesis" expresses.
Both Dadivank, Amaras, Tsitsernavank, Gandzasar, and Holy Savior of Shushi are the spiritual centers of the Armenian people. And at the end, a quote from the Roman source.
• "Now the residents of the marzes bordering Armenia will be listed. the whole plain, beginning with the river Kur, is inhabited by the tribes of the Albanians, and then by the Iberians, who are separated from the former by the river Olazanos [Alazan], which flows from the Caucasus mountains to the Kur"..." ("Natural History", book VI, 28-29, in Russian).
• "the tribe of Albanians, inhabiting the Caucasian mountains, reaches, as has been said, up to the Kur River" ("Natural History", book VI, 39, in Russian);
• "And so the Great Hayk has a border as far as Adiabene, being separated from it by a wide mountain range, ... and on the left it stretches to the Kur river" ("Natural History", book VI, 9, in Russian);
• "In the remaining (part) of the front, which stretches to the Caspian Sea, is the Atrpatan, which is separated from Armenia by the Araks river, by the Utik" ("Natural History", book VI, 42, book.
Pliny the Elder, 22-79, Ancient Roman author.
