Abstract

One of the falsifications and inventions of Armenian “historians޵ is their writing of the city building by the Armenian ruler Tigran II, indirectly, by Armenians, calling Tigranakert the great city location, discovered in the territory of Aghdam region, concerning early medieval period. They have localized Tigranakert city, which, there has not been such a city in the history, at first, in the area of Shahbulag Tower of Aghdam region and its suburbs, then a few kilometers away from there, in the historical Tangakut district. The first efforts had been made in XIX century, to localize the Tigranakert city in the territory of Aghdam region. G.Alishan, S.Celalyan, M.Barxudaryan have idenditified the ancient settlement near the Ternoyut village of Aghdam with Tigranakert. In the XX century S.Q.Barxudaryan has placed the Tigranakert city in the Govurgala monument in the territory of Aghdam region. Being archaeologists of Azerbaijan, R.M.Vahidov, R.B.Goyushov have investigated in Govurgala Monument near the Sofulu village of Aghdam region. One of our distinguished archaeologists R.M.Vahidov has fought against the identification of Tigranakert with the Govurgala Monument by the Armenian “historians" , he has indicated the absence of Tigranakert of this monument. In the occupied territory of Aghdam region by Armenia, on the right bank of Khachinchay, Triganakert city has been localized in the place of discovered settlement, as a result of the illegal archaeological researches by Armenian archaeologists, since 2006, they have put forward unique, traditional hypetheses about, as if, founding of the city by the Armenian ruler Tigran II in the first century B.C. and its being one of the four Tigranakert, building by him. Although inventions of Armenian archeologists, the city by name Tigranakert, has never existed in the territory of Azerbaijan. Discovered great city location, concerning early medieval period, has been one of the cities, situated in the historical Arsak province of Albania. As a result of next researches, being which city of Albania of this nameless city, of course, will be determined.
