Thank you very much for the comment, I appreciate your openness. It's always encouraging to hear from individuals who actively seek out varied sources of knowledge to understand their own history better. The journey of learning never ends!

Dude thank you for real, there aren't many honest people like you.😤

Thank you for your comment.

The autonomous province of Azerbaijan was separated from Iran by the Soviet Union in World War II in November 1945. You can read historical books and Google. Azerbaijan has no history.

the ak trolls u saying open his archive to make its easy to understand story so why armenia make harder never opened? even germany was ready to open book...

Nice to see there are a few such as yourself who went a step further in search of truth. I sincerely hope Azerbaijanis can on day get rid of this family. Thank you for dropping by and sharing your experience!

Azerbaijan is a nationalist dictatorship and like Turkey it does not like minorities. The current monarchy in Baku is build by an ex-Stalinist, who used to rule the country on orders from Moscow from 1969 until 1982. You might know the first king of the ruling dynasty, his portrait is seen on many buildings and books, although he died in 2003.

Unfortunately we live in a day of Informational Warfare where the ratio of Azeris or Turkish in general outnumbers Armenians vastly. When misinformation quickly overwrites any "trending topic" its easy to believe the lies. I appreciate this video and any human that appreciates human life. This worlds gone mad at the soles of very few who only want their own legacy, no matter the human cost

Tbh I was going to skip this video, seeing the chapters you marked "irevan" made me not want to see what else may be in here. You may want to consider (unless done strategically) to add a little more welcoming section

This comment is written by Armenian not Azerbaijani. Fun comment and fun video. Pitiful propaganda attempt by the same Armenians...

Aliyev would be overthrown as soon as possible and normal rulers and Historians would come who would make the country a better place and return our history where it began with 1136 to 1828 or 1925.

By the way, there are also historians who said something else, they immediately disappeared without news

I don't know much about them, but I'll check

It's not a very new trend. It's the same reason why they demolish churches, monuments, graveyards or just the erase the inscriptions from them. The Caucasian Albanian theory doesn't hold much water when there's Armenian writings all over. It's crazy that we can only prove what they did in the Nakhichevan cemetery thanks to one video!

Thank you very much!

This is interesting, I had to do some searching but it seems like the specific historical or sociolinguistic factors that led to this "swap" in voicing between Eastern and Western Armenian are complex and may not be fully documented, but the phenomenon, known as phonetic transfer, can occur when speakers are bilingual or multilingual. A key element is the geographical and cultural division of Armenia between Persia and Byzantium, which led to the emergence of Eastern and Western Armenian dialects. Over time, the Eastern Armenian dialect was predominantly influenced by Persian, while Western Armenian was influenced by Turkish, and later by French and Arabic. It's a fascinating question and one that highlights the complexity of language change and evolution.

@@AkravHistory Thanks for the answer, and I share opinion with you, it might not be possible to fully research this phenomenon because of the possible lack of documents. Anyways, one idea came to my mind regarding this while I was reading your reply, and it has to do with the Greek orthography - since the sound [b] is written with digraph "μπ" (mp) and the sound [d] is written with digraph "ντ" (nt), we could theoretically get one way of this swap if we removed m and n from digraphs. Still, it is questionable if this swap came during the time of "Byzantine" rule, or during the Ottoman period, were the "Eastern Armenians" the one who actually swapped voiced and voiceless sounds, and not the "Western Armenians", if Armenians even used Greek alphabet (since they have their own) or if this idea has any contact with reality, but still, it is something. After all, in Latin alphabet "B" is [b], while in Cyrillic "B" is [v], most likely because Greeks changed the sound of letter β from b to v, and different time of adoption.

This is quite fascinating. I can look into it in more detail, maybe a short video could work!

@@AkravHistory Eastern Armenian pronunciation of the alphabet has not been influenced by Persian, they don't even have these sounds (I speak Armenian and Persian). Western Armenian pronunciation of the letters has been influenced by some language or languages and practically has mixed up and also lost the պ, կ, տ, ծ, ճ letters' pronunciations. Proof of that is that western Armenians pronunce բ & փ, գ & ք, դ & թ, ձ & ց, ջ & չ the same (why have 2 letters for one sound?). Armenian and Latin Alphabets are based on the Greek alphabet. For ex. 2nd and 4th letters are b and d after beta and delta, in Armenian բ and դ but western Armenians pronounce them (wrongfully) p and t (փ & թ) instead of b and d.

​@@C6Fever I generally asked myself the question in ancient Armenian, how did they speak like Western Armenians or like Eastern ones? Meaning letters like "բ" Orientals say "b" Westerners say "p"

Thank you, I hope they enjoy it!

You're right. There's so many different angles you can take and the end results will be the same conclusion.

Thank you so much, that does sound like a fun video to make. Not sure where to find people from each dialects but I'll keep the idea in mind!

Cheers!

Thanks very much!

@@AkravHistory Can you explain it in a video? I haven't read it.

Thank you for watching and the kind words!

Thanks for the nice words and for watching!

I believe the archeological evidence brings it down to the 4th century, and historical records name the exact years. I don't see a reason to doubt it. Absolute archaeological proof might be complex due to centuries of restorations, but I could be wrong and it's something worth researching if you want to learn more.

@@AkravHistory Oh, thanks.

@@AkravHistory you have any idea where I can start?.

Hi there, thanks for the comment! I speak Western Armenian myself. Hope you have a great day as well!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. It's heartening to hear from people like you who value historical accuracy and critical thinking. I'm very glad that my content resonates with you and helps dispel some of the misinformation that unfortunately exists. I agree that it's essential to base our understanding of history on evidence, rather than on divisive narratives. Your support as an Azeri from Iran means a lot and it's a testament that the pursuit of truth transcends borders and nationalities! Stay tuned for more!

The conversion to Islam you mention was not solely a voluntary act of mass conversion by Armenians; it was often forced or incentivized for survival under Ottoman rule. Surely you are not making the claim that ALL modern-day inhabitants of Yerevan are Armenianized Turks? Furthermore, for the Yerevan demographic argument to work, you'd have to focus on a singular point in history. Whereas an Armenian can blindly pick any year in recorded history and it would probably be overwhelmingly Armenian. You're right about Yerevan being influenced by Russo-Turkish wars, Hamidian Massacres, and the Armenian Genocide. However, calling Yerevan a 'Muslim settlement' is a big stretch. Even at that time, Yerevan was a diverse city inhabited by Armenians, Persians, Turks for centuries. Mutual ethnic cleansing during the First Artsakh War is a misleading assertion as it was disproportionately aimed at Armenians. I agree that Aliyev's agenda is not representing the true historical narrative but serves his political ends, all the more reason to scrutinize teaching false history to children. I appreciate your comment and the discussion. History is complex and often twisted for political gains. It's crucial to base our discussions on factual information and nuanced understanding.

​@@AkravHistory Sorry for posting walls of texts on your videos Akrav. I know it can be really annoying lol, but I can't hold myself from throwing in 2-3 comments. I respect that you take your time and answer them. Islam came to Anatolia and Armenia as the ideology of the ruler class and stayed like that until the 1800s. The elite had absolutely no interest in converting the local population. Being Muslim was a privilege. If Ottomans cared about Islamisizing the locals, then they could've done what the Spanish did or what the Turks pre-Ottoman times did (destroy the churches, cut off contact between dioceses and priests and bishops). The Turks way of governing is having a large Christian population who takes care of the economy and fills up the state's coffers. That's it. No wish to develop it or anything, just live off the labour of others. More Muslims just means more people who can challenge your rule. Conversion to Islam in Armenia and Anatolia happend mainly due to internal conflicts due to the Ottoman's apathy and inept to provide security in the regions. The conversions could be violent, but was not incentivized by the rulers. Hemshins became Muslims to get an upperhand against the Laz. Meskhetians converted en masse due to their leaders internal conflict (Jaqeli dynasty), where the princes tried to gain the favour of the Ottomans by converting to Islam. Many Armenian villages in Western Armenia converted to Islam and Kurdified due to conflicts with the Armenian Church (and later became active participators in the Armenian Genocide). With re-Armeniafication I meant Yerevan becoming Armenian majority again due to people escaping massacres and lawlessness in Western Armenia and migrating to Eastern Armenia, not due Yervan Muslims converting to Christianity. Erzurum Turks hate Armenians to such a degree that it surpasses even Azeris, yet they have almost zero Turkic ancestry in genetic tests. Their whole culture is Armenian, from folk dresses, melodies, food and local vocabulery. During a census taken in 1800s, done by the Armenian church and the nomadic Kurds were left out, 50% of Ottoman Armenian was Muslim while 50% of it was Armenian. Large swathes of Armenian peasantry, if not the majority with Azerbaijan in mind, converted to Islam, one way or another. I think this an important point to keep in mind, because it means that Erzurum Turks are as native to Erzurum (Karin) as Armenians are. And same goes for Yerevan Muslims (of course one has to analyze who the Yerevan Muslims are, it necessarly doesn't have to be the result of the native population converting to Islam). Well, Azeris the size of 2x the population of Artsakh had to leave the 7 majority Azeri regions surrounding Artsakh due to ethnic cleansing operations of the Armenians. To say the ethnic cleansing was one sided would be wrong. Azeris and Tatars have a history of mutual ethnic cleansing that precedes the Soviet times, which is seperate from the one-sided genocide of the Ottoman Turks. And I appreciate your video. Highlighting contradictions, obvious lies and exaggerations of Azeri education is one of the good ways to lower Azerbaijan down to the rest of the world.

Hey, no worries about the walls of text. Detailed discussions are how we get to the heart of the matter, after all. You're correct that the Ottoman Empire did not enforce conversion to Islam as aggressively as other regimes might have, at least not initially (Late stage Ottoman Empire was a different level). However, stating that conversion "happened mainly due to internal conflicts" oversimplifies the issue. Forced conversions did occur, often under dire circumstances. You mention Hemshins, Meskhetians, and Western Armenian villages converting for various reasons. While some of these conversions were voluntary, many were not, especially when the balance of power was not in favor of the Armenians. On Yerevan, I understand your point about the majority shift due to migrations from Western Armenia. But to say that it was Muslim-majority by the 1830s and therefore de-Armenianized is to ignore its complex, multi-ethnic history. Lastly, I'm glad you appreciate the intent behind my video. Education is the first step in dispelling myths and prejudices, which is why it's so important to scrutinize what's being taught. We may not agree on every point, but the discussion is valuable. Thanks for taking the time to engage.

It's a pleasure, thank you!
