In recent years, including on my initiative, our scientists have created comprehensive and meaningful researches about the Iravan khanate, about our historical lands. We have to communicate this history to the younger generations. For example, the history of the proclamation of Iravan as the capital of Armenia was not known to many when we raised this issue and paid attention to it on the basis of historical facts. And everyone in Azerbaijan and the world already knows that Iravan was declared the capital of the Armenian state on the decision of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. Therefore, I think it is necessary to develop research papers reflecting the historical truth. Some of them have already been created but I believe that we should pay even more attention to this issue. I think that the issue of resettlement of Armenians to our historical lands is not sufficiently covered by Azerbaijani scientists.
