 <\/p>\n

Gregorianization and Armanianization of Albanian population of Karabakh was a long historical process:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Native population of Karabakh was Albanian tribes as in other lands of Northern Azerbaijan;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Christianity was spread in some parts of Albania, including Karabakh in the early IV century;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Islam spread throughout the country during occupation of Northern Azerbaijan by the Arab Caliphate and its ruling in VII-IX centuries, but Albanians, living in the mountainous part of Karabakh, did not change their religion;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Armenian-Gregorian missionaries, migrated to the Caucasus, seizing favorable situation, appeared as a result of the Arab Caliphate’s occupation, realized Gregorianization and then Armenianization of Christian-Albanian population of Karabakh.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Christian population of Karabakh called themselves Albanians in the letter, addressed to the Russian Tsar Peter I. It proves that they still considered themselves Albanians in the early XVIII century;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Russia’s intervention into the region and Armenians’ removal from other countries to the Southern Caucasus, including Azerbaijan, lead to the strengthening of the Armenian factor. This policy acted as a turning-point in historical fate of Gregorianized Albanians. The last stage of their Armanianization started.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Armenians’ mass relocation from Iran and the Ottoman Empire to Karabakh along with other Azerbaijani regions during the Russia-Iran wars (1804-1813, 1826-1828), the Russia-Turkey wars (1806-1812, 1828-1829) and particularly after Turkmenchay (1828) and Adirna (1829) treaties completed Armenianization of Gegorianized Albanian population. Albanian Catholicos was abolished in 1836. We can call them Armenians just after this;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. In spite of that, Armenians of Nagorny Karabakh have preserved their specificity, outgoing from their Albanian roots, among general Armenian population.<\/p>\n
