Abstract:

At the beginning of the 19th century, the decision of Tsar Alexander I on the annexation of Eastern GeorgiaIt marked the beginning of a new phase in the history of South Caucasus. This act led to the occupation of Azerbaijani lands. The absence of a strong state in Azerbaijan and the division of the country into small khanates accelerated this occupation even more. The article discusses the study of the political situation of North Azerbaijan in Turkish historiography in the late XVIII and early XIX centuries, the political relations of the Azerbaijani khanates with the Ottoman, Iranian and Russian states, as well as the beginning of the occupation of North Azerbaijan by Tsarist Russia. The struggle of the Azerbaijani people against the colonial regime, the brutal extermination of civilians by the Russian military and the heroic defense of the Ganja Khanate under the leadership of Javad Khan play an important role in the historiography of Turkey. The article also reflects the attitude of Turkish historians towards the occupation of the Karabakh, Sheki, Shirvan, Derbent khanates by tsarist Russia.The article is covered by the works of Mehmet Palace, Sadik Mufit Wisge, Nedim Ipek, Jamal Gokce, Naki Keykurun (Sheikhzamanli), Abdullah Saydam, Anyl Chechn, Mustafa Budak and other Turkish historians. The source base of the problems is also very rich. Documents from the Prime Minister of the Ottoman Archives (BOA) and books based on archival documents play an important role in investigating problems.
