Berlin, Boston: De Gruyter, 2023: 581-609, https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110794687-019.Abstract: This Chapter provides a brief historical overview of Christianity in Nagorno-Karabakh in the wider context of the modern Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict and disputed territories. It then focuses on how the Azerbaijani state is constructing an “Albanian Apostolic Church” – variously called “Udi Church” or “Udi Orthodox Church” – as part of a new narrative that connects modern-day Azerbaijanis to ancient peoples, cultures and early Christianity in the Caucasus. The common features of this state-“engineered” narrative are denial of facts, erasure of evidence and reinvention of history, which goes back to Soviet times.

Christianity in Karabakh: Azerbaijani Efforts At Rewriting History Are Not New
Dr. Hratch Tchilingirian, Oxford
EVN Report / MassisPost / Aravot (22 November 2020)—Long before the start of the armed conflict in Karabakh, the “authentication” of the history of the region had become the scholarly battleground of historians, political scientists, archaeologists, researchers and bureaucrats. The consequences of Soviet scholarship—particularly in the process of constructing histories—have been disastrous and continue to have a negative impact on how conflicting parties view “the other.” It should be noted that, even today,

Patrik Mesrob Mutafyan, Ermeni Kilisesi’nin yakın tarihindeki en cesur, en ilkeli ve en ileri görüşlü liderlerdendi.
