Baku: A presentation ceremony for the "Virtual Western Azerbaijan" encyclopedic collection took place in Baku, as reported by APA. This comprehensive digital resource was developed by the Strategic Communications Center, relying heavily on primary sources to ensure accuracy and depth.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the internet resource is structured into 8 main sections, 34 titles, and 55 sub-titles. It provides an extensive overview of Western Azerbaijan's natural and geographical conditions, historical geography, archeology, ethnography, and its political, socio-economic, military, and cultural history from ancient times to today. This project facilitates easy access to detailed information related to specific locations such as cities, districts, or villages.

Anar Gadirli, Chairman of the Strategic Communications Center and Chief Adviser of the project, emphasized the initiative's focus on academic objectivity and scientific precision to convey historical truths about Western Azerbaijan. Gadirli highlighted the project's alignment with the strategic call issued by the President, aiming to ground historical narratives in factual and scientific frameworks.

Jabi Bahramov, Head of the 'History of Western Azerbaijan' department at the Institute of History and Ethnology of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, noted that the encyclopedic collection includes maps detailing the Russian occupation and Armenian resettlement, as well as territorial changes. These maps precisely document the timeline and legal basis of Armenian resettlements, providing clarity on the historical context.

The research also delves into the settlements of Azerbaijani people in Western Azerbaijan, now part of modern-day Armenia, examining the current state of religious and historical monuments. It presents a scientific account of the policies of mass Armenian resettlement during Tsarist Russia and the USSR, detailing the ethnic cleansing, genocide, and deportation experienced by the local Azerbaijani population. Additionally, it analyzes the deliberate renaming of toponyms and provides maps reflecting the region's historical geography.
