Falsification of history in Azerbaijan

According to many scholars, the historical research carried out in Azerbaijan with state support has been falsified to exalt the Caucasian Albanians as the alleged ancestors of Azerbaijanis and to provide a historical basis for territorial disputes with Armenians. Much of this false historiography aims to root Azerbaijanis in the territory of Azerbaijan, cleanse it of Armenian heritage, and depict Armenians as newcomers.
