Re: Caucasian Albania

One of the most authoritative Armenian scholars, Ronald Grigor Suny described in his book "Looking Toward Ararat" (London, 1986, p.82) the borders of Arshakuni (Arsacid) Armenian kingdom (52 A.D.-428 A.D.), which was a Roman and Persian vassal, as reaching their most Northern point to the west of Sevan lake whilst occupying only two thirds of present day Zangezur to the east.

you must go and learn true history

Authoritative my a$$. This schmuck sounds like the typical western funded jacka$$ that will write and preach anything for the right price.

Re: Caucasian Albania

In regard t Udis, Talish and others in that region---
You need to actually talk to the Udi's and parse their words carefully and then run a comparative analysis with our battles of that time frame to see who those people are.
Godda&nit,I just wrote many words and this is all that came out!
I ounce went out with a dumb cun?.
That ended when I sobered up.

Re: Caucasian Albania

A lot of info above this post but confusing in its presentation.
Too many points scattered to answer or elaborate without first arranging all points coherently .
To make the Albanian/ Udi/ Talish/ Lizgan/---baboon---/ point clear:
The Albanians ( not what they were called then ) came in the back side of what is now called Georgia.
That is to say the watershed between Georgia and the Caspian.
They met us. Fights were fought. We ere pushed back but many scattered were isolated and remained or a long time. After agreements were made and deals were struck a time of relative peace occurred.
Then deals were broken and they pushed into Artsakh and bit further. Then we finally drove them out of Artsakh. Look to Prince Arran for that time frame.
Udi are a mix of those Albanians and a precursor Iranic people's that preceded Parthia/ Persia.
They ( the Udi will tell you hat themselves.
The others--- Talish, Lizgan etc. are Udi plus turco for a three people mix.
If you go to Udi ( about 10,000 left ) and look at their faces you clearly see two disparate peoples.
Go to Albania (modern ) and see identicle faces.
There is more but I have to go.
None of this is hard to find

Re: Caucasian Albania

Don't have much time but forgot couple points.
Look to the 7th century bc for first old Albanian appearance then look to our battles with invaders of time period.
When Udi's first mention themselves look to our first troubles with Parth/ Pers types.
When Talish, Lisgan first appear look to our first troubles with turcos.
When I said to look at faces in modern Albania I meant the lighter ones. It's very clear and easy to decern.
Udi has in same family dark haired , dark eyed ( that's the latter Iranic admixture .
