  • Eta bivsiy albanskie monastri.Ne Armyanskie.
  • Ну конечно по всему миру эти албанцы построили церкви,а эти армяне их присвоили!!!
  • Албанцы Кавказа после своей недолгой истории почти ничего материального не оставили. Дадиванк (монастырский комплекс) был построен армянами (10-13вв.) в труднодоступных лесах Арцаха. А к этому времени уже давно не существовало Албанское государство,которое находилось к западу от этих мест. прекрати албанцев
  • Again another childish example of turkic azeris trying to falisfy history. Why would Muslim turks build a Christian Church? Seriously ? The Caucasian Albanians had all but disspeared by 9th century, and to claim this as azeri Christian would make dead & blind retarded person to wake up and laugh. Even the Persians have had enough of azeris claiming Persian poets who ONLY WROTE in Persian as azeri turtk. But thats what happens when you have an alphabe that is changed 4 times in past 100 years, and a nation that was never recorded in history before 1918.
