American missionary Eli Smit discusses #Caucasian #Albanian|s in #Karabakh region and mentions that some of them still live "near Bakoo". These are Uti- #Udins and "near Bakoo" is several of their villages in Oğuz and Qabala districts in modern #Azerbaijan Republic. (1)
He also mentions that their #Church was placed by #Russian|s under control of #Armenian Church in #Etchmiatzin.
He is wrong in saying that #Albanians (called by him in the text Aghovans) are ansectors of modern Afghanis, which have nothing to do with them. (2)

But thanks to #Armenian worldwide-spread propaganda today there is almost not a word about Albanians' presence in #Karabakh until the very close past. (3)
All their churches and other cultural heritage today is "undoubtedly belongs to #Armenia, which is a cradle (sic!) of the world civilization". Sad but true.
