The second edition of the Encyclopedia of Islam (1960) shows a somewhat different picture. In the context of the medieval history of Karabakh, the five Armenian melikdoms (principalities) are relevant, as they ensured semi-independent status for Artsakh. Yet the Baku pen-pushers have somehow вЂњprivatizedвЂќ the period of Persian rule, and, as we shall see in further, also the Persian poets. Modern Iran has never used an excuse of having ruled Caucasus previously to lay claims to its territory. Otherwise, in 1813 Rtischev would have to sign the treaty with Azerbaijan, rather than Persian authorities. The question is, how it is related to Azerbaijan? The khanate was never called Azerbaijani, it was never part of independent Azerbaijan and till the Treaty of Gulistan was under Persian rule, not Azeri. The existence of Karabakh khanate is not denied in Armenian historiography. Regarding Nakhichevan and Artsakh the following is mentioned: вЂњNakhcawan which, like Erivan, has played a pre-eminent role in Armenian historyвЂ¦ Shusha situated in the region of Kara-Bagh and formerly the capital of a separate khanateвЂ¦вЂќ : In this book Gandzak, that is Yelizavetpol area and Ordubad city are considered part of the Russian Armenia. The article about Armenia comprises 14 pages, while Azerbaijan is presented in 1.5 pages. The encyclopedia also comprehensively expounds on Armenia as a country in geographic proximity to and contacts with the Muslim world. Thus, according to the encyclopedia there is no Azerbaijan in Caucasus, but only the one to its south. This encyclopedia (the one published in 1913) states that вЂњmodern Azerbaijan borders Caucasus in the north.вЂќ. No Caucasian Azerbaijan is mentioned in the encyclopedia. In the first edition (1913) the toponym Azerbaijan refers solely to the Iranian Atropatene. Their comparison shows the evolution of international perceptions of Azerbaijani identity. In the two editions the articles on Azerbaijan are presented quite differently. Publication of the second, expanded edition titled The Encyclopedia of Islam: new edition started in 1960.

The Encyclopaedia of Islam is especially interesting, the first edition of which was printed in Leiden, Netherlands, in 1913-1930 and the full title of which was The Encyclopedia of Islam: A dictionary of the Geography, Ethnography and Biography of the Muhammadan peoples. What have they said regarding Azerbaijan and Armenia? Groups of dozens of specialists from the best scientific institutions had worked on encyclopedias. Publication of the first Encyclopaedia of Islam started in 1913, when its first volume was printed. The Russian Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary was published in 1890-1907. The first edition of the EncyclopГ¦dia Britannica was published in the 18th century (between 17). What is written in the encyclopedias of the world? They simply recorded the objective reality. Moreover, most of the mentioned researchers did not have anti-Azerbaijani or pro-Armenian stance. Studying these sources may actually shed light both on Artsakh and other history-related Armenian-Azeri disputes.

At the time there was no independent Azerbaijan or none at all, and hence, вЂњcaviar diplomacyвЂќ and Heydar Aliyev Foundation did not work, so the foreign specialists were free to carry out maximally unbiased research. One thing Baku is physically unable to change, is the studies already published in previous centuries or decades regarding our region. The difference is that no such absurd claims are ever made in Egypt. Population of modern Azerbaijan may claim historic rights on the Christian monuments of Albania as much as Egyptian Arabs could claim historic ownership to the pyramids. On the contrary, the Albanian civilization was very close to the Armenian one and had no commonalities with the Turkic-Tartar nature of Azerbaijan. Even if those were Albanian, Azerbaijan has no priority over Armenia to claim heritage of the historically Christian territories of Caucasian Albania.

Baku post factum declares the Christian monuments on these territories or other Armenian settlements as Caucasian Albanian. Modern Azerbaijan, akin to вЂњcaviar diplomacyвЂќ also develops вЂњcaviar scienceвЂќ not only in Azerbaijan, but also by ordering вЂњresearchвЂќ in foreign countries that present the current territory of Azerbaijan, as well as Artsakh, Zangezur and Yerevan as millennia-old Azeri homeland.
