Armenian roots

About Armenian roots (Confessions of Armenian Elite in facts)
Refferin to historical Roots,so called Great Armenia was located beyond the boundaries of Russia (in this periods Southern Caucasia-the region where Armenian locate now was in boundaries of Russia), particulary in Asia Minor.As to Nagorno-Karabakh (Daghliq Garabagh-Azerbaijani region occupied by Armenia) Armenians, one part of them is Christian aborigines descended from ancient Albanians (forefathers of Azerbaijani people. Part of them accepted Christian religion under the influence of Byzantine) and the rest part is refugees from Turkey and Iran who were seeking shelter in the territories of Azerbaijan.* But Great Armenia was a geographical name.The well-known Armenian scientists and doctor of law, Aghasi Yesayan wrote,"To clarify the issue it should be noted that up to 1917 the term "Armenia" meant "Turkish Armenia".**
Hayasa (Hay) people is not the forefathers of Armenian People
It should be noted that words of Armenian origin are also very few among Armenian surnames. This is confirmed by the Armenian scientist- Avetisian who is specialized in Armenian surnames. He writes: “Only 26.3 percent of Armenian surnames are of Armenian origin, 194 of the rest are taken from Persian, 113 from Turkish (Azerbaijani), 111 from Arabic, 60 from Greek, 54 from Jewish and 44 from other languages.***The Armenian scientist Kh.Abovian wrote"There is no evident modern language as different from its ancient version as the Armenian (Armenain and Hay language) language...No language (grabar is meant) was so difficult for me as this one.The author of these words is a person with profound knowledge of 6 languages.Then he tries to clarify the causes of this difficulty:"All the nations, the structure of the words, even different words are different from modern expression and interpretation".**** The Armenian scientist Khapachyan wrote: "I`m dubtless, as I mentioned before, the hayasa movement to south and south-east was headed by skiffs kimmers(saks-Turkic etnic group.Albanian families,saks,kimmers and other Turkic etnic groups created modern Azerbaijani nation which considers as a Turkic nation now.And Azerbaijani and Turkish,Kazakh,Turkmen,Uzbek,Kirgiz,Tatar and other Turkic languages are rather like each-other). The Armenian folk legend about the first Armenian king-Paruyr descending from saks is the absolute confirmation of this statement."(5)In fact the name "Hayastan"(so call Armenians their country) cane into being in the 20s of the XX century and it was used as a political term rather than an etnical. Critizing the other Armenian writer Khapachian wrote "A.Khachaturian investigates the of the Hayasa with the Armenian term Hayastan (Hayas+tun (home) i.e. home of Hayasa) is an evident accommodation, fabulos etimology".(6) Khapachian wrote that "without denying the influence and authority of frigiyas upon hay-Armenians we should note that there is no accurete information about the descendance of the Armenians from frigiyas, about their political and cultural authority, the relation of their languages and that the ethnical name "armin" was brought to the Balkans by those frigiyas.(7)Moses Horen (Horenly) wrote:"Like at present, as in ancient times the hays didn`t take interest in sciences and folk songs.So feebly-minded, ignorant and savage people are worthless even to speak about".(8)In the VII century B.C kimmers by turkic origin moved from the north lands of Black Sea and came to Kura-Araz lowland and to the territories of Present Armenia(Western Azerbaijan).Armenian sources also confess that the items belonging to skiffs (saks) were found in 29 archeological units (11 of them being dwellingd) in the territory of present Armenai (Western Azerbaijan) once belonged to the kingdom of Saks(Turkic-Azerbaijani kingdom). The armenian author S.Yeremyan wrote that the Saks occupied Kura-Araz plains, forced the kimmers to reinhabitin the valley of Ararat first and to the Basin of Urmiya lake afterwards.(9)According Kapanchyan, the movement in the south and south-east of the country "Hayasa" was headed by saks.(10) As we see, Turkic (Azerbaijani) governors controlled provinces located at the territory of Armenia;and there is no doubt that those governors were the heads of Turkic (Azerbaijani) tribes.(11)Advancing this idea the Georgian scientist G.A.Melikishvili supported that the territory of present Armenia used to be ancient Turkic areas and wrote that the items of the skiffs found in the refions of Iravan(now calling as Yerevan) and Sevan(up to 20s of the XX the lake was called Goycha as in Turkic-Azerbaijani language) are evidence of kimmers and saks living there.(12)As it is known, the kingdom of saks covered the territories of northern Azerbaijan and present Armenia(Western Azerbaijan). So the first government in the territory of present Armenia appears to be the kingdom of saks of ancient Turkic origin. This kingdom was called "Ashkenaz" in Bible and the V century Armenian historian Koryon`s statement "Hays are descended from ashkenaz"(saks) dealt with it. Kaanchyan affirms this fact as well.(13)Moses Horen states "We-Armenians (who name themselves hays) are small/ few in number, feeble nation who ar used under foreign reign and control(14)As the Armenian scientist Hovannissian confesse "Except for a short period of time the areas from Kilikiya to the Caucasus had never belonged to Armenians".(15)Tigran`s, Artash`s, Artavazd`s and other`s being Armenian by nationality he snever been proved by anyone with evidence.(16)
Armenian culture
“History of Armenian People” noted that “Restoration of Christianity by force, its extreme intolerance towards other ideologies had a negative influence on the development Armenian culture.”(17) It should be noted that words of Armenian origin are also very few among Armenian surnames. This is confirmed by the Armenian scientist- Avetisian who is specialized in Armenian surnames. He writes: “Only 26.3 percent of Armenian surnames are of Armenian origin, 194 of the rest are taken from Persian, 113 from Turkish (Azerbaijani), 111 from Arabic, 60 from Greek, 54 from Jewish and 44 from other languages.(18)Armenian culture is the mix of Arabic, Persian and Azerbaijani-Turkic culture. The dishes in Armenian cuisine as dolma, bughlama, plov, lula kebab, piti, pakhlava and so on are the part of Azerbaijani cuisine. Armenian music developed on impact of Azerbaijani music. The instruments as tar, zurna, naghara, kamancha, balaban, saz, tutek borrowed from Azerbaijani music. Even in Eurovision Song Contest Armenian musicians use Azerbaijani musical instruments. In 2009 Eurovision the singers of Armenia in Eurovision sang song “Jan-Jan”, which composed by Azerbaijani compositor Tofig Guliev many years ago “Nakhchivani”.
Armenian moving to Caucasia(Started in 1724 continuing now)
Armenians moved to Caucasia and adopted Azerbaijani culture and lands. So that they drove Azerbaijani people from their lands. But for the 1828 Turkmenchay agreement and Griboyedov and Abovyan and the Russian soldiers, there would be no newly established Armenian villages or cities out of those settlements… More than 200.000 Armenians immigrated to our motherland within the last decades (60-70s).(20) Only in Province of Yerevan (called as Irevan before Armenian moving) 2000 Azerbaijani settlements were destroyed by dashnaks. In 1988-1994 Armenian soldiers occupied Karabakh region of Azerbaijan Republic which the majority of residences was the Azerbaijani (Turks), commited genocide in Khojaly and killed more than 613 residence.
