TWO CHRONICLES ON THE HISTORY OF KARABAGH by G. BOURNOUTIAN Mazda Academic Press, X 2004
Communicated by Barlow Der Murgdechian to Society of Armenian Studies List
- George Bournoutian's new book, "Two Chronicles on the History of Karabagh" has been published by Mazda Academic Press. The study is an annotated English translation of two Muslim historians, Mirza Jamal and Mirza Adigozal Beg, who in the first half of the 19th century wrote histories of Karabagh. Contrary to current Azeri claims, both sources detail a strong Armenian presence in Karabagh centuries before the Russian conquest of the region. Azeri academics, led by the late Ziya Buniatov, have removed most references of an Armenian presence in Karabagh in new editions of these and other primary sources. Bournoutian has used the original manuscripts in Baku and has indicated the expunged material. In addition, the book contains various other primary non-Armenian sources and, for the sake of objectivity, is practically devoid of works by Armenian historians. The 300 page book includes an introduction , glossary, five maps, and an index. It can be obtained from NAASR or form Mazda Press in early October.
