. The series of "The true facts about Garabagh" War Against Azerbaijan Targeting Cultural Heritage. Баку, MEGA Basim Yayin, 2007.

Azerbaijan is among the areas of earliest human settlement, with a rich historical past and diverse cultural legacy. Archeological excavations have unearthed a great number of artefacts testifying to its distant past, as do different rock drawings, architectural monuments and examples of arts and crafts. The country also has ancient traditions of statehood. The predecessors of the modern Republic of Azerbaijan established by the ancestors of the Azerbaijani people each has its own share in this culture. The first state in the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Caucasian Albania, was home to different religious traditions, including forms of Idoland Fireworship, Zoroastrianism and Christianity, which enriched the Azerbaijani cultural treasure with a great number of monuments created by the followers of these religions. The conquest of Albania by Arabs put an end to its existence in the early 8th century and resulted in the adoption of Islam by most of the Albanian population, while some in the mountainous places continued to adhere to Christianity. Different Azerbaijani Muslim state entities emerged in the territory of Albania, like the Sajids, Salarids, Shaddadids, Atabays, Hulakids (Elkhanids), Garagoyunlu, Aghgoyunlu and Safavids, who also made a great contribution to the development of Azerbaijani culture.
