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.

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.

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 ...
