Tiflis
Tbilisi ( ; ka, თბილისი ), in some languages still known by its pre-1936 name Tiflis ( ), is the capital and the largest city of Georgia, lying on the banks of the Kura River with a population of approximately 1.5 million people. Tbilisi was founded in the 5th century AD by Vakhtang I of Iberia, and since then has served as the capital of various Georgian kingdoms and republics. Between 1801 and 1917, then part of the Russian Empire, Tiflis was the seat of the Caucasus Viceroyalty, governing both the northern and the southern parts of the Caucasus. Because of its location on the crossroads between Europe and Asia, and its proximity to the lucrative Silk Road, throughout history Tbilisi was a point of contention among various global powers. The city's location to this day ensures its position as an important transit route for energy and trade projects.

Tarikh-e Qarabagh
The ''Tarikh-e Qarabagh'' () is a book written by Mirza Jamal Javanshir sometime after 1847 about the history of the Karabakh region. Written in Persian, the literary language of the Muslims in the Caucasus, it was composed on the order of the then Russian Viceroy of the Caucasus, Mikhail Semyonovich Vorontsov (in office 1844–1854). The book deals with the history of the Karabakh region from the coming of the Arabs through the Muslim conquest of Iran in the 7th century, up to the Imperial Russian conquest through the Russo-Persian War of 1804-1813. The focus of the book primarily lies on the Karabakh Khanate, from Nader Shah's era (r. 1736–1747) until the death of Ibrahim Khalil Khan in 1806. A section of the work also describes the conflict between the khans from the Javanshir clan and the Armenian Meliks of Karabakh, which, according to George Bournoutian, is of special importance, as it deals with the large Armenian presence in the Karabakh region, yet is written by an ...

History Of The Republic Of Artsakh
Nagorno-Karabakh is located in the southern part of the Lesser Caucasus range, at the eastern edge of the Armenian Highlands, encompassing the highland part of the wider geographical region known as Karabakh. Under Russian and Soviet rule, the region came to be known as ''Nagorno-Karabakh'', meaning "Mountainous Karabakh" in Russian. The name Karabakh itself (derived from Persian and Turkic, and meaning "black vineyard") was first encountered in Georgian and Persian sources from the 13th and 14th centuries to refer to lowlands between the Kura and Aras rivers and the adjacent mountainous territory. Following the collapse of Soviet Union, most of this area came under the control of the Artsakh Republic, which had economic, political, and military support from Armenia but has been internationally recognized as a part of Azerbaijan. As a result of the 2020 war, all surrounding territories and some areas within Nagorno-Karabakh were taken back by Azerbaijan, yet the final sta ...
