Western Azerbaijan Chronicle: Place Names Agkhach, Aghamzali, Agcaarx: Traces of Turkish History

Within the framework of the Chronicle of West Azerbaijan project, a plot entitled “Armenianized peoples at the beginning of the 19th and 20th centuries” was prepared on Baku TV, authored by journalist Asgar Ibrahimov.

Today’s plot mentions the toponyms Aghkhach, Aghhamzali, Aghcaarx, which were subjected to the “terror of name change” by the Armenians.

It was reported that the Armenians, after deporting from time to time the population of the residential areas of Western Azerbaijan, gradually turned those areas into ruins, changed their names, resorted to political tricks and canceled them with various decisions.

Aghkhach was a village in the district called Pashali of Darelayaz district, later Azizbeyov and Vayk. Since 1831 only Azerbaijanis have lived here. In the 50s and 60s of the 19th century, after the Armenians were moved to the village, it became a mixed village. In 1918-1919, as well as in 1928-1929, Azerbaijanis were expelled from the village.

Aghamzali is the name of a village in Zangibasar district, Zangibasar district, which was later called Masis. Armenians were moved to this village from Iran after 1828. In 1918, Azerbaijanis were subjected to the Armenian genocide and deported. Although they returned home in 1920, they were transferred to Azerbaijan in 1948-1949. On May 25, 1967, the name of the village was changed to Marmarashen.

Aghjaarkh – was a village in Sardarabad district of Sardarabad district, later called Oktemberyan. The village, inhabited by Azerbaijanis since 1831, was invaded by Armenians in 1918 and its residents were deported, and Armenians who had been resettled from abroad settled here. On April 4, 1946 the name of the town was changed to Arevik.

In the end it was highlighted that despite all the efforts, decrees and decisions of the Armenians, these homelands were not forgotten, they were preserved in the most ancient layers of our language and today they are transmitted to future generations: “Because they are the settlements and unforgettable toponyms that have preserved the smallest features of Western Azerbaijan.

In general, the study and dissemination of toponyms, oichonyms, oronyms and hydronyms belonging to Western Azerbaijan is a reality today and has great meaning and importance for future generations who will be owners of our native land. Because they reflect the history, ethnography and geography of the local population. The prepared plot examines the history and etymology of Western Azerbaijani toponyms modified by the Armenians and also provides information on the origin, meaning and subsequent fate of place names.

It should be remembered that the goal of the Western Azerbaijan Chronicle project is to preserve and popularize the name of our historical and ancient lands, as well as the deportation of Azerbaijanis by Armenians, place names that existed in those territories, but their names have been erased, countless examples of underground and surface material culture are revealed: ancient settlements, necropolises, mounds, remains of castles, palaces and fortifications, caravansaries, bridges, funerary chests, statues of horses and rams, temples, churches, mosques, pyres and hearths, and Facts confirming that the area is a purely Turkic-Oghuz settlement are communicated to the world community.

Also the president Ilham Aliyev Regarding Western Azerbaijan, he said: “The map of the beginning of the 20th century shows once again that Western Azerbaijan is the historical land of Azerbaijan, the names of cities and towns are of Azerbaijani origin and we know very well that Azerbaijanis on the territory of present-day Armenia throughout history people have lived. Now the main task is “to make it known to the world community”, it is the promotion of the duties arising from the Concept of Return developed by the West Azerbaijan Community according to their opinion. .

Furthermore, it will illuminate the thoughts of historians and researchers about Western Azerbaijan and the life history of the deportees.
