The article talks about the historical past of Nuvedi village of Zangezur, which is the ancestral home of Azerbaijani Turks. Nuvedi village can be called Zangezur's museum under the sky. The historical-cultural monuments, toponyms and stone inscriptions with ancient Turkic writings found in Nuvedi reflect the ancient history of Azerbaijani Turks. The last settlement from which the Azerbaijani Turks was deported from the territory of Western Azerbaij an by the Armenian authorities on August 8, 1991 was Nuvedi village. in 2006, Armenians committed another fraud and replaced the name of Nuvedi village with the fake name "Nrnadzor". Reliable historical sources and archival documents once again confirm that the historical name of this village is Nuvedi, not the fake "Nrnadzor", and its local population is Azerbaijani Turks.
The distortion of the real history of Zangezur began in the first half of the 19th century after the transfer of Armenians from the Gajar and Ottoman states to Western Azerbaijan and Karabakh by Tsarist Russia. Armenians were always in search of patrons. Until the February revolution of 1917, the state they relied on was tsarist Russia. However, Tzarist Russia fell shortly before the end of the First World War. On May 28, 1918, the Dashnaks drew up a plan to establish an Armenian state in Tbilisi for the first time in the history of the Caucasus region. Armenian historian J. Burnutyan notes that the statement issued by the Armenian National Council on May 30 did not mention "independent Armenia", because the existence of Armenians here did not mean that they still had a state and a parliament. [Bournoutian G.A., 2006, p. 299]. Really, the mentioned statement states that Azerbaijan and Georgia are independent states, but the independent state of Armenia is not mentioned. On May 29, 1918, the small delegation sent by the Armenian National Council to Batumi under the leadership of A. Khatisyan to sign a treaty with the Ottoman State was acting in accordance with the requirements of the Minister of War of the Ottoman State Enver Pasha. The way out of the Armenian side was to accept the demands sent by Anvar Pasha to Vehib Pasha that day. Later, A. Khatisyan remembers Vehib Pasha's words to him like this: "You see that fate takes Turkey from west to east. We left the Balkans, we are also losing Africa. But we must expand to the east. Our blood, religion, language are there and it attracts us with all its might. Our brothers are in Baku, Dagestan, Turkestan and Azerbaijan. We must have a way to these regions. But
you Armenians stand on our way. You are blocking our way to Iran demanding Van. By demanding Nakhchivan and Zangezur, you are blocking our march to the Kura valley. You block our roads to Kars, Akhalkalek, Gazakh and Ganja. You have to step aside and give us a way. Our real disputes are these. We need two main ways to advance our armies and defend ourselve. One of them is the Kars-Akhalkalek-Borchali-Gazakh road going to Ganja, and the other is the Sharur-Nakhchivan-Zangezur road, which goes to the Kura valley. You must stay between Novo-Bayazid and Echmiadzin" [Hovannisian R.G., 1967, p. 195; §ahin E., 2002, s. 609 (Shahin E., 2002, p.609)]. According to the Batumi Treaty signed between Ottoman and Armenian representatives on May 4, 1918, the territory of Dashnak Armenia was defined as an area of 10,000 sq. km, covering only Novo Beyazid district, Gyumri, Echmiadzin, Iravan, and the east of Sharur-Daraleyaz regions [§ahin E., 2002, s. 611 (Shahin E., 2002, p.611)]. However, Armenian armed bands opposed this agreement and started genocide against the local Turkish-Muslim population and a territorial conflict with the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. Karabakh and Zangezur became the main target of Armenian invaders. On the official map presented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, Zangezur region was shown as part of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic as a whole [Altstadt A.L.,1992, p. 88].
When did the Armenians settle in Zangezur? What state, for what purpose moved them to this region? The settlement process of Armenians in Zangezur began in the first half of the 19th century as part of the occupation policy of Tsarist Russia. During that period, Tsarist Russia won the wars with the Qajar and Ottoman states. One of the main goals of this invading empire is to create a new Christian region in the South Caucasus regions of Iravan, Vedi, Darelayaz, Loru, Agbaba-Shoreel, Goycha, Zangezur, Nakhchivan, Borchali and Karabakh, which are the ancient homeland of the Azerbaijani Turks - an "Armenian buffer zone" within Turkish-muslim world. Tsarist Russia was trying to reach the Mediterranean Sea through the Balkans, the Bosphorus or Anatolia [Ercan Y., 2001, s. 88 (Erjan Y., 2001, p.88)]. The Armenians living in Eastern Anatolia were the most favorable community that served the goals of Russian occupation. That is why the Russian tsar was closely interested in the "Armenian issue".
40,000 from Iran according to Article 15 of the Treaty of Turkmenchay signed by Tsarist Russia with the Gajar state on February 10, 1828, and 84,000 Armenian from Anatolia according to Article 13 of the Treaty of Edirne signed with the Ottoman state on September 14, 1829, it was placed in the areas of Irevan, Goycha, Darelayaz, Aghbaba-Shoreyel, Vedi, Zangezur, Karabakh and Borchali located north of the river Araz [Шукюров К., 2020, c. 177-178; Глинка С.Н., 1831, c. 135-137; iravan xanligi., 2018, s. 387-396; Mustafa N., 2020, s. 19; Basmacyan G., 2011, s. 62; Beydilli K., 1993, s. 373-376; Bournoutian G.A., 2006, p. 241-242 (Shukurov K., 2020, pp. 177-178; Glinka S.N., 1831, pp.135-137; Irevan Khanate., 2018, pp. 387-396; Mustafa N., 2020, p. 19; Basmajian G., 2011, p. 62; Beydilli K., 1993, pp. 373-376; Bournoutian G.A., 2006, p. 241-242)]. Russian researcher N.N. Shavrov notes that in 1828-1830, only 124,000 people from Iran (Qajars) and the Ottoman Empire were registered as the officially resettled population, but the total number of unofficially resettled Armenians was more than 200,000, also have been placed in the best state lands of Yelizavetpol (Ganja) and Iravan governorates [Шавров Н.Н., 1911, c. 63 (Shavrov N.N., 1911, p.63)]. Russia empire, which has a "divide and rule" policy by moving Armenians laid the foundation of the ethnic conflict in the center of Azerbaijan, a place where Turkic peoples living in a wide geography from east to west meet- in Karabakh and Zangezur regions. One important evidence that proves that Armenians are not the local population in Karabakh and Zangezur is the address of the Armenian-born colonel Gazaros Lazaryan, who served in the Russian army, on March 30, 1828, to the Armenians who were transferred from the Qajar state to the lands north of the Araz River in Azerbaijan. G. Lazaryan said in his adresses to the Armenians: "...there (north of Azerbaijan) you will get a new homeland where Christians will settle... Hurry! Time is precious. Soon Russian troops will leave Iran, after that, your help will be difficult and we will not be responsible for
your safety. Even if you suffer a little loss, you will achieve everything in a short time, and it will be forever... It is better to eat Russian grass than to eat Iranian (Qajar) bread" [Глинка С.Н., 1831, c. 107111; Neumann C.F., 1834, s. 87-90 (Glinka S.N., 1831, pp. 107-111; Neumann C.F., 1834, pp. 87-90)]. This fact confirms that Armenians were moved to Western Azerbaijan, as well as Karabakh and Zangezur.
Nuvedi village is one of the villages in the Western Zangezur area that has been subjected to Armenian falsification of real history. Nuvedi is the largest and oldest village of Megri district. 15 km from the modern Nuvedi village, there are the remains of an ancient settlement and sacred shrines, called "Nuvedili yurdu" by the local population. A copper-molybdenum deposit is located 4-5 km from Nuvadi river. The rich underground resources of Nuvedi were first discovered by French experts who visited Zangezur district in the 1960s and 1970s. The development of viticulture in Nuvedi village is connected with ancient traditions. In the 19th century, as in the village of Nuvedi, other border villages of Zangezur district were famous for their vineyards. Investigating the economic history of the South Caucasus, V.D. Mochalov writes that because the local population of Zangezur was Muslim, unlike Armenians, they did not produce wine from grapes, but only sold them as fruit and earned a lot of income [Мочалов В.Д., 1958, s. 277 (Mochalov V.D., 1958, p.277)]. According to the statistical data of 1897, 55.9% of the grape harvest for sale in the Zangezur region was the share of the Megri district [Мочалов В.Д., 1958, s. 278 (Mochalov V.D., 1958, p.278)]. Nuvedi village was one of the most developed of viticulture villages in Megri region. Note that V.D. Mochalov mentions Zangezur district as the region of Western Azerbaijan [Мочалов В.Д., 1958, s. 438 (Mochalov V.D., 1958, p.438)].
In the village of Nuvedi lived tribes and lineages of Turkic origin as Abidinli, Acili, Kazimli, Kalba Babat (Karbalayi Babat), Kalba Kazim (Karbalayi Kazim), Kalbusen (Karbalayi Huseyn), Maliyabbasli (Malik Abbasli), Mamessen (Mamayi Hasan), Mashadennagi (Mashadi Annagi), Mir Mahmud, Nazareli , Sufis, Sahleli, Jafarli, Shikh Madatli (Shikh Madatli), Uruzgils (Uruzgils), Sultanaligils, Balajagils, Ildirimgils. In the first half of the last century, after the abolition of many ancient villages around the village of Nuvedi, the ancient Turkish tribes living in these villages took refuge in Nuvedi. One of these villages is Ernazir village. The Turkic tribes of Ernazir village, such as Gulu ushagi, Huseyn ushagi, Khanahmed ushagi, Mashadi Zeynalgils' basalag, moved to Nuvedi village. It should be noted that in different dialects of Azerbaijani Turkish with the words "urug", "ulgax-9ulgax", "tabun", "dinnix", "dang", "ojmax", "kok", "tag", "gobaklar", "tire", "toxum", "torama", "u§axlar", "karja", "konalja", "pornax" , which means tribe, lineage and generation, the word "basalax" is also used [Ширалиев М.Ш., 1983, с. 165-166 (Shiraliyev M.Sh., 1983, pp.165-166)]. It should be noted that the word "basalax" used in the Nuvedi dialect comes from the ancient Turkish word "basa", which means "next, follower" [Наделяев, В.М., Насилов, Д.М., Тенишев, Э.Р. & Щербак А.М., 1969: с. 85 ((Nadelyaev, V.M., Nasilov, D.M., Tenishev, E.R. & Shcherbak A.M., 1969: p.85) ].
Until now, different opinions have been expressed about the etymology of the toponym Nuvedi. I. Bayramov believes that the Nuvedi toponym should be explained in Azerbaijani Turkish. He bases his opinion on the existence of inscriptions belonging to the Gargar Turks found in the territory of the village and the presence of toponyms of Turkish origin. I. Bayramov notes that in Western Azerbaijani dialects, as well as in the Tokhluja dialect of the Goycha dialect, the word "nuyak, nuak, niyax" is used, which means a depression at the foot of the mountain, and by adding to it the word "di" ("di"), which is a variant of the word "deh" meaning village in Persian, the toponym Nuvedi was created [Bayramov.i., 2000: s. 34-35; Bayramov i., Mustafa N., 2021: 228 (Bayramov.I. , 2000: pp. 34-35; Bayramov I., Mustafa N., 2021: 228) ]. The geographical location of Nuvedi village also plays an important role in the etymological explanation of the name of this village. The name of Nuvedi village, built in a depression at the foot of the mountain where nine valleys meet, with rocky terrain on two sides, has remained in the memory of Azerbaijani Turks as the place where the valleys meet. There is also a version in which the toponymy
Nuvedi is explained by the name of the prophet Noah mentioned in the holy books. Both the lexical similarity between the names Nuh and Nuvedi, as well as the existence of ancient place names "Gamiduzu" and "Prophet's Footprint" in the territory of Nuvedi village, are facts that support this position [Библия. Ветхий завет. Бытие 6., c. 30 (Bible. Old Testament. Genesis 6., p. 30)]. E.N. Bushuyeva shows that the name Nuvedi is derived from the dialect word "nyuv" and "nuv" in the language of the local population [Бушуева Е.И., 1971: с. 35 (Bushueva E.I., 1971: p. 35)]. A. Farzali mentions that the name "nug-nuy" which means Nugadi, Nuvadi, Nuydu, Sun found in the inscriptions of Gobustan is older [Farzali Э., 2016: s. 96-98 (Farzali A., 2016: pp. 96-98)]. The root of the word Nuyadi is not Nuyadi-Nuvadi, but Nugadi. In the Nuvadi dialect of the Azerbaijani Turkish language, it is possible to replace the consonant "k, g" with the consonant "y". In Nuvedi dialect instead of "galak" is said "galay", instead of "gedak" is said "geday", instead of "urak" is said "yuray", instead of "ipak" is said "ipay".
Ancient written stone inscriptions of the Azerbaijani Turks were discovered on the Gargadashi mountain in the territory of Nuvedi village [Vali H., 1998: s. 19 (Vali H., 1998: p.19)]. Hamza Vali, a villager who discovered these stone inscriptions, copied and studied their faces. He shows that the name of Gargadashi mountain, where these inscriptions were discovered, is related to the name of the Gargar Turkic tribe that lived in Zangezur [Vali H., :1998, s. 15-16 (Vali H., 1998: pp.15-16)]. H. Vali Gargar notes that this written monument in the language of the Turkic tribe belongs to an older period than the Talas and Orkhon-Yenisei inscriptions in Central Asia, and also calls it the ancestor of the Goyturk monument - Orkhon-Yenisei written inscriptions [Vali H., 1998: s. 18 (Vali H., 1998: p.18)]. Unlike the Orkhon-Yenisei script, in the Gargadashi script the letters were written together. Nuvedi Gargadashi Turkish stone inscriptions are irrefutable evidence proving the historical trace of Azerbaijani Turks in the Zangezur region dating back two thousand years. Linguistic materials also confirm the antiquity of the history of Nuvedi village. The linguist A. Aliyev notes in his valuable book "Megri Dialects" that the Nuvedi dialect has ancient traces, even many of its examples are found in the ancient Sumerian language [0liyev e.i., 2003: s. 48 (Aliyev A.I., 2003: p. 48)].
The population of Nuvedi village was formed on the basis of families who migrated from Ataman, Kendchayi, Sultanselim, Ernazir, Angized, Kahriz, Kazimli, Shavzir and other neighboring villages, which were destroyed as a result of the attacks of Armenian armed groups in the 20th century, but have preserved their traces to this day. Ancient Turkic words such as Keyik, Egili, Ula, Kuz, Dap, Nishgar, Ogapozan, Tendir, Samrimek, Ihinc (Unch), Tungumakh, Dand, Tengri are widespread in Nuvedi dialect. The Bayandur spring, which is related to the name of Bayandur Khan, the khan of the Oghuz Turks, related to the name of Shah Ismail the Khatai hill, Khatai yurdu, Khatai south, Selanj river, Ataman, Gorchu river, Batduzu, Gulunovu, Kazan dibi, Angized, Abdulata, Saridare toponyms, the Great Sudarriy mound, the Alban-Qipchak temples, the "Babahaci" mausoleum, believed to be the tomb of Babak, and the Sultan Selim caravanserai built in the name of Ottoman Sultan S elim I indicate that Nuvedi village is a place of ancient historical monuments [Karimli A., 1996: s. 35 (Karimli A., 1996: p. 35)]. The existence of place names in the villages of Lower and Upper Nugadi, belonging to the administrative territory of Guba of Azerbaijan, Nuvedi in Lankaran, Nuydu in Agsu, Nuyeda in Nakhchivan, Nuyedi in South Azerbaijan (modern Iran), Nuyedi near the village of Ushtibin, confirms that the name of Nuvedi village is widespread in the entire Turkic geography. South Azerbaijani poet and scientist Maharram Parizad reported that his family had moved from Nuvedi and built a new neighborhood Nuyede in Sulduz.
The name of Nuvedi village is written as "Nuyeda" according to the dialect of the local Turkic tribes in the sources of the 16th century. The name of the village was recorded as "Nuyada" in the "Review book of Iravan province" compiled in 1590 [Bunyadov, Z. va Mammadov, H. (Qaramanli), 1996: s.179 (Bunyatov, Z. and Mammadov, H. (Garamanli), 1996: p.179)]. In 1593, when the Ottoman
army captured Zangezur, in the "Detailed book of Urud and Iskander fortress livas", the village of Nuvedi and its nearby areas were included in the Masiri district. In the "Detailed Book of Urud and Iskander fortress Livas" the villages of Nuvedi, Garchinik, Angizagid, Ataman, Cavgird, Ernazir and Kahriz are mentioned, is noted that 25 families live in Nuvedi, 5 families in Garchinik, 7 families in Angizagid, 3 families in Ataman, 5 families in Cavgird, and 12 Turkish-Muslim families in Ernazir [Urud M., 2016: s. 368-369 (Urud M., 2016: pp.368-369)]. After the death of Nadir Shah Afshar in 1747, at the time when independent khanates were formed in the territory of Azerbaijan, Karabakh Khan Panahali Khan added Zangezur to his khanate. At that time, the village of Nuvedi was part of the Karabakh Khanate. In 1822, after Tsarist Russia abolished the Karabakh Khanate, the village of Nuvedi was included in Shusha district within 4th area. In 1868, during the formation of Yelizavetpol (Ganja) governorate, Nuvedi village was included in this governorate within Zangezur district. As shown in the "Cameral description of Zangazur district" [0hmadli, N., 2021: s. 179-185 (Ahmadli, N., 2021: pp.179-185)] in 1832-1833, 108 Muslim families, including 291 men, and as shown in the "Cameral description of Zangezur district" from 1874 [0hmadli, N., (1874-cu il), 2021: s. 494-505 ((Ahmadli, N., (1874th year), 2021: pp.1494505)], 205 Tatar (Turkish-Muslim) families, including 420 men and 285 women, lived in the village of Nuvedi. In the statistical data compiled in 1886, it is noted that 208 families lived in Nuvedi village, including 505 men and 491 women. In 1915, the information provided in the "Caucasian Calendar" indicates that 1072 Muslim-Tatars lived in the village of Nuvedi of Zangezur district [Зелинский С.П., 1886: c. 162-163 (Zelinsky S.P., 1886: pp. 162-163)]. The village of Nuvedi was part of the Zangezur District of the Karabakh Governorate General during the period of the existence of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic in 1918-1920, and Jabrayil District during the first periods of the establishment of Soviet power in 1920.
After the establishment of the Soviet power in Armenia, the western part of the Zangezur region of Azerbaijan and in 1927-1929 a number of lands of Azerbaijan were divided and given to the Armenian SSR by the Transcaucasia Region Committee of Russian Kommunist (bolshevik) Party RK(b) P and Transcaucasia Central Executive Committee (CEC) [ARPiiSSA, siyahi 56: 22 (Archive of Political Documents of the Affairs Department of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan: list 56: p.22)]. 3 more villages from the Jabrayil district of the Azerbaijan SSR - Nuvedi, Ernazir and Tugut villages were also given to the Armenian SSR by the decision of the Transcaucasia CEC on February 18, 1929, and in 1930 on the basis of these villages Megri district was created [ARMAi, s. 2 (National Archive Department of the Republic of Azerbaijan: p. 2)]. After these named villages were transferred to the Armenian SSR, in September 1939, the Armenian government canceled the villages of Tugut and Ernazir under the name of "unpromising" villages, the Armenian village Tugut was merged into Shvanidzor, and Ernazir was merged into the Nuvedi [0hmadli i., 2003: s. 25 (Ahmadli I., 2003: p.25)]. After the Nuvedi village was handed over to the Armenian SSR, more than 40 villagers were subjected to the terror and repression that raged in the USSR in the 1930s, and some of them were exiled to Siberia and Kazakhstan [0hmadli i., 2003: s. 40 (Ahmadli I., 2003: p.40)]. In the years after the Second World War - during the deportation period of 1948-1953, the population of the village of Nuvedi was supposed to be moved to the Azerbaijan SSR, but the population categorically refused it. On April 23, 1948, in the letter of Nuvedi peoples to the head of the USSR I.V. Stalin it was said that "our Nuvedi village belonged to the Zangilan district of the Azerbaijan SSR until February 18, 1929, and was later transferred to the territory of the Megri district of the Armenian SSR. Rather than moving us, please refer our village to the Zangilan district of the Azerbaijan SSR as before" [ARPiiSSA, siyahi 55: s. 48 (Archive of Political Documents of the Affairs Department of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan: list 55: p.48)].
In the 60s of the last century, the leadership of the Armenian SSR took the initiative to recognize the lands given to Armenia in 1927-1929. This issue was discussed several times in the Central Committee , on June 10, 20, 23 and November 5, 1968, the Central Committee of the CPSU discussed
the disputed land issue between the Azerbaijan SSR and the Armenian SSR, the Presidiums of the Supreme Soviet of the Armenian SSR and the Azerbaijan SSR were assigned to recognize the borders drawn between the two republics [ARMAi, pp. 245-246 (National Archive Department of the Republic of Azerbaijan: pp.245-246)]. In accordance with the decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Council of Ministers of the USSR, on November 26, 1968, the Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan considered the issue of disputed borders regarding the issue "On the borders between the Azerbaijan SSR and the Armenian SSR", and it was instructed to prepare the relevant documents for the approval of the decisions taken by the Transcaucasian CEC in 1927-1929 and submit them to the Supreme Soviet of the Azerbaijan SSR [ARMAi, s. 241 (National Archive Department of the Republic of Azerbaijan: p.241)]. As a result of the ratification of the lands given to Armenia by the Transcaucasia CEC in 1927-1929, with the decree of the Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan, dated November 26, 1968, and with the decree of the Supreme Soviet of the Azerbaijan SSR, dated May 7, 1969, the Nuvedi village, which land area is 19,000 ha, is known as the territory of Armenia.
During the years of reconstruction, when centrifugal tendencies intensified in all regions of the country, Armenians felt that the empire was collapsing and wanted to leave the USSR with a large territory. After the resignation of Heydar Aliyev as a member of the Politburo and as the first deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, the Armenians, seeing this as an opportunity, became much more active. On February 20, 1988, after the session of the Council of People's Deputies of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Province decided to separate the province from Azerbaijan and join Armenia, the Azerbaijanis were purged from the Armenian SSR, but the residents of Nuvedi did not leave the village, they fought and defended themselves. After all this, the Armenians changed their tactics, especially under the instructions of the leadership of the Armenian SSR, they began to pressurize the village, the electricity line to the village was cut, and on October 10, 1989, in the center of Megri five residents and cars were seized as loot. In the appeal addressed to the Azerbaijan people from the Nuvadi village residents, it was said that "...the village people are deprived of their ordinary constitutional rights, the population lives in need and anxiety, our people who go to the district center are beaten and insulted, we are not considered as citizens of Armenia...". Armenians do not want to reconcile with the remaining of the only Azerbaijani village in Armenia, and the villagers did not want to leave their homeland easily. In the open letter of the village resident H. Musayev to the Megri district administration, it was stated that "...Nuvedi is the land of Azerbaijan, and with the decision dated May 7, 1969, this village was given to you as a "share...". "...The ancient and present of the Nuvedi village belongs to Nuvedinians..." [Karimli A., 1996: s. 26 (Karimli A., 1996: p.26)].
On the night of August 7-8, 1991, the village was evacuated with the help of the Soviet army. In the news released by the State Security Committee under the Council of Ministers of the Azerbaijan SSR, it was stated that this operation was led by the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Armenia G. Grigorian [ "Hayat" qazeti, 10 avqust, 1991, № 153 ("Hayat", August 10, 1991, No. 153)]. Nuvedi residents who settled in Vejnali village of Zangilan district did not want to reconcile with refugees and wanted to return to Nuved. For this purpose, the residents of the village appealed to the Chairman of the Supreme Assembly of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic H. A. Aliyev and asked to resolve their rightful demandIn connection with this appeal of the Nuvedi people, on October 17, 1991, on the instructions of H. A. Aliyev, a representative delegation of the Supreme Majlis deputies, officials and public figures met with the Nuvedi people living in the village of Vejnali in Zangilan, and their problems were heard. In the report prepared by the representatives from Nakhchivan, it was stated that the residents who have settled here for more than 3 months are living in cold tents with no facilities, especially the situation of 70 families is unbearable [ "§arq Qapisi" qazeti. 1991, № 200 ("Sharq Kapisi" newspaper.
1991, No. 200)]. Even though the people of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic were living under a blockade, food products were even sent to help the refugees from Nuvedi.
On July 4, 2006, the Armenian authorities signed another forgery and replaced the historical name of the village of Nuvedi with the so-called name "Nrnadzor", which is not found in any ancient sources [Bayramov i., Mustafa N., 2021: s. 228 (Bayramov i., Mustafa N., 2021: p. 228)]. However, such measures of Armenian fascism could not overshadow the historical victory of the Azerbaijani people. The Great Victory in 44-day Karabakh War in the fall of 2020 increased the hope of Nuvedi residents to return to their native land. This victory restored the geopolitical map of the region in accordance with historical justice. As a result of the successful domestic and foreign policy of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Commander-in-Chief of the Victorious Army Ilham Aliyev, after the Return to Karabakh, there is very little time left until the next Great Return to Western Azerbaijan.
