An interactive map showcasing the Christian heritage of Caucasian Albania in Garabagh was presented in London this week, highlighting Azerbaijan’s efforts to preserve and promote the religious and cultural legacy of the region.
The presentation, called 'True Story: The Christian Heritage of Caucasian Albania in Karabakh', took place at the Royal Society of Arts with financial support from Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Culture.
According to project leader Shalala Hasanova, Chairwoman of the Public Union for the Development of Public Relations, the initiative was developed in line with the position of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on the protection and international promotion of the Christian heritage of Caucasian Albania.
The virtual platform brings together, for the first time, information on 150 Albanian Christian temples located across Azerbaijan’s liberated territories. The churches are displayed on an interactive map featuring historical references, archival sources, and geographical coordinates intended to document their heritage.
The map includes 54 churches in Khojavend, 26 in Aghdara, 21 in Lachin, 17 in Khojaly, 16 in Kalbajar, six in Aghdam, four in Shusha, three in Gubadli, two in Zangilan, and one in Fuzuli. In addition to the interactive map, the platform also hosts books, academic articles, and historical materials related to the Albanian Christian heritage of Azerbaijan.
Hasanova said the project seeks to present a fact-based account of the region’s religious history and to challenge claims regarding the destruction of Armenian religious heritage in Garabagh.
Speaking during post-presentation discussions, Bota Tore Hopkinson, Chairwoman of the Conservative Friends of Eurasia, described the platform as an important contribution to the international understanding of Azerbaijan’s cultural and religious heritage.
The event was attended by representatives of the Azerbaijani diaspora, academic circles, and diplomats.
