The presentation of the book "Karabakh Khanate: Historical and Cultural Profile", published with the support of Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was held at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the leading university in Mexico.
According to the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Mexico, professors, students, and academics attended the event.
Azerbaijani Ambassador to Mexico Mammad Talibov noted that the book is of great significance in terms of studying the rich historical heritage of Karabakh. He described the publication of the works stored in the National Museum of Georgia for more than 100 years as a milestone event. The diplomat also drew attention to the importance of the historical and cultural artifacts reflected in the book in terms of studying the Azerbaijani identity of Karabakh, as well as the culture, ethnography and lifestyle of the region's population, adding that the Karabakh Khanate occupies a special place in the history of Azerbaijani statehood. "This book will serve as a tool to raise international awareness of the rich historical past and cultural heritage of Karabakh, which is an ancient and eternal land of Azerbaijan. Having put an end to the thirty years of Armenian occupation, life has returned to Karabakh today, and all opportunities have been mobilized towards the restoration and reconstruction of these territories," the ambassador added.
