The border with Armenia runs along the Kura River: Abbas Kuli-aga Bakikhanov

Having compared various circumstances and the testimony of historians, it can be assumed that the right bank of the Kura River formed the border of Armenia, Bakikhanov wrote in his essay "Gulistan-i Iram", which was published in Baku in 1926.

MOSCOW (Realist English). The border with Armenia along the Kura was confirmed by the founder of the Azerbaijani historical school Abbas Kuli-aga Bakikhanov, reminds the Editor-in-Chief of Realist Information Agency Sarkis Tsaturyan.

“Residents of the minisultanate often write in the comments under my posts and videos that I am lying to my subscribers, stating that Armenia has only one border with Azerbaijan — along the Kura River. However, the border with Armenia along the Kura was also confirmed by the founder of the Azerbaijani historical school, Abbas Kuli-aga Bakikhanov.

“Having compared various circumstances and the testimony of historians, it can be assumed that the right bank of the Kura River formed the border of Armenia, Bakikhanov wrote in his essay “Gulistan-i Iram”, which was published in Baku in 1926.

Referring to the book of the Persian historian Giyas ad-Din Khondemir “Habib as-siyar” (A friend of Biographies), who lived at the turn of the XV – XVI centuries, Bakikhanov goes further, stating that even “Tiflis was part of Armenia”: “Pliny and Ptolemy write that the northern border of Armenia reached the Kura, on the right bank of which are Tiflis, Tumanis (Dmanis), Bunis, etc. This part of present-day Georgia is called Somkheti, which means Armenia in Georgian, and indeed Armenians are more numerous in Somkheti than Georgians.” What do you say now? Is Bakikhanov also lying?” wrote the Editor-in-Chief of the Realist Information Agency in his telegram channel.

Earlier on his live program “Power”, Sarkis Tsaturyan, with reference to Greek, Roman and Russian historians, spoke in detail about the real Armenian borders that separated Armenia from the outside world for 4,500 years.
