Georgia: here the aggressive archeology is created!

The country has lost a fair part of territory thanks to the politics of the heads of Georgia after finding the independence by the country. Let official Tbilisi also considers Abkhazia and South Ossetia as “temporarily occupied” territories, so this is only the words and no more. The geopolitical reality is that on the Caucasus there were two new independent states, the determinant of existence of which in this status is readiness to protect the independence with weapon in arms and all the population of both republics agree with it and the support of Russia the value of which simply impossible to underestimate.

Saakashvili's regime already tried to return the former borders of Georgia with the help of military way without understanding that it is basically impossible: the real politics is not to play the soldiers and, especially, not to chew the ties … But they have played and it has ended with a real crash. What remains?! To search for any occasions, indefatigably to bear a message about the greatness to the world and here any occasions will fit. Even from archeology area …

Who has heard about the medieval city Hunan? I suspect that almost nobody. And now many people know about it and all thanks to the information policy of Tbilisi. But, firstly, let’s speak about the city …

Actually there is no lot of data, but some information nevertheless is at forums of historians. So, the results of archeological excavations have allowed the Azerbaijan archeologists to come to conclusion that the ruins of the city Hunan are located in the territory of village Shykhly-2 of Gazakh region and the territory of a historical monument just occupies from 35 to 40 hectares as the medieval chronicler Al-Istakhri wrote about it. The Head of department of Institute of archeology and ethnography of National academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan, the doctor of historical sciences Arif Mamedov has told that the city Hunan existed till XIII century and has been destroyed by the Mongols. The excavation proves that the city has been put still in III-V centuries. As well as the majority of cities of that far time, it has been put on hills that rescued a city from acts of nature: flooding and mud flows and also helped to defend in case of an attack.
According to the opinion of one of the experts, the name “Hunan” testifies that it was the breeding center of the Turkic clan “hunn” which together with other Turkic tribes has occupied the territory of present Azerbaijan. It is known that the medieval author Kirokos wrote that the military acts between the Georgians and the Mongols in XIII century were just in Hunan. Then the Georgian tsar Ivani has decided to meet the army of the Tatars near a fortress to rescue Georgia from destructions. However he has defeated, the Tartars have occupied the territory and the fortress has been completely destroyed.

There were the most different data to the latest discoveries of archeologists on the location of Hunan – one of the first medieval cities of Azerbaijan. Both the Azerbaijani and Georgian archeologists aspired to find an exact location of a fortress. Arif Mamedov noticed that the location of Hunan was often specified wrongly. So, according to him, the Georgian scientists, being based that the city Hunan is in the territory of Tovuz region, have asserted that the border of Georgia lasts to Tovuz …

Let's not penetrate further into the geography, here the politics begins! The deputy minister of foreign affairs of Georgia Nino Kalandadze has decided to comment on the new science data. And has let to know at once that the accessory of the city Hunan is not a disputable issue between Georgia and Azerbaijan at all! It doesn’t matter who has found something– the Georgian management will examine better … Mrs. Kalandadze has explained, “We carry on dialogue with Azerbaijan about the disputable territories, though the accessory of the city Hunan, is not absolutely “indisputable”. All historians and official sources know that Hunan is not a disputable issue and it always was a city of Georgia”.

Here is so! You dig, search, try to get to the truth but the efforts are in vain, after all everything is already known for a long time… With such rather one-sided approach both to the past and to the present, in rhetoric, which the president Saakashvili is “nice”, it is possible to add that it is impossible to receive the real advantage for the country. By the way, the history reminds of it. And the archeology too …
