From 4th century B.C. to 8th century A.D. the territory of the current Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan was one of the provinces of Caucasian Albania, the most ancient state of Northern Azerbaijan. After the fall of the independent Albanian state, Arsakh being inseparable from Azerbaijan both geographically and politically, was a part to the Azerbaijani state of Sajids, in 10th century - to the state of Salarids, and in 11-12th centuries - to the state of Sheddadids. During 12-13th centuries Karabakh constituted part of the Atabey-Ildenizids state, in the second half of 13th century - beginning of 15th century, during the existence of the Mongolian Khulagouid state - part of the Jalairids' state. In the 15th century it existed within the states of Gharagouynlou and Aghgouynlou, and during 16th and 17th centuries Karabakh, as a part of the Karabakh beylerbeyyat (duchy), was within the Sefevi state. The latter consisted of 4 beylerbeyyats: Shirvani, Karabakhi (also known as Ganja), Chukhursaadi (or Erivan) and Azerbaijani (or Tebriz). Karabakh, being a part of the Karabakhi beylerbeyyat, was ruled by the representatives of the Turkic Zyiad-oglu tribe, subordinated to Kajars from 16th till 19th century. In the second half of the 18th century Karabakh belonged to the Karabakh khanate (principality) and along with the latter was incorporated into Russia. Thus, Karabakh has never been a part of the Armenian state, which was established in Asia, far from South Caucasus. In fact, Geycha and Zangezur are historical Azeri lands which have been inhabited since before the birth of Jesus Christ by indigenous people of Caucasian Albania. Caucasian Albanians later became Christians and then were integrated into Azerbaijani ethnos along with Midians and Atrapatenians and Turkic tribes. Azerbaijani nation accepted Islam during later periods. Unfortunately, Azeris, descendants of those ancient people and natives to Geycha and Zangesur experienced great prosecutions after Russian invasion in the region. Russian authorities promoted heavy migration of Armenians into those areas, as well as into Garabagh, Erivan and other parts of Caucasus, because they saw Christian Armenians as a more loyal base than Muslim Azeris. However, even in the beginning of this century, Azeris still comprised a majority in Geycha and Zangesur. During Soviet rule, especially in 1948-1950, many of them have been expelled from Geycha and Zangesur, at that time parts of Armenian Republic within USSR. Still, before 1988, Azeris were a majority in a big part of Zangezur, before Armenian nationalist militants killed thousands of Azerbaijani civilians and expelled all of them from Armenian Republic. That is a brief history of Azeris in Geycha and Zangesur. Status of the area Geycha and Zangesur: It is claimed that in March 1992 Azeri-populated areas near Lake Geycha (Lake Sevan) in Armenia proclaimed their own state. Their flag bears a crescent and wolf, traditional Muslim and Turkish symbols,against a background of equal horizontal stripes of black-red-green-blue. I would assume the Armenians would vehemently deny the existence of these people or this state. It is also possible the Azeris proclaimed this state from outside Armenia. The phrase "It is claimed..." is telling. Description of the flag Several new states have been reported in the former Soviet Union: Today under Armenian control, the "state" of Geycha and Zansegur was proclaimed in March 1992 for the Azeri population near Lake Sevan. The flag is horizontal black, red, green, blue with a crescent and wolf (I don't know the color of the crescent and wolf, but probably white...
