Abstract
The article refutes the revisionist approach proposed by Azerbaijani official historiography and in particular by the current Vice-president of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, Nalia Mamedali Gizi Velikhanli (born 1940). Dr. Velikhanli claims that the lands located North of the river valleys of the Lower Araxes and Lower Kur (the territory of the present-day Republic of Azerbaijan), while under domination of the Arab Caliphate (mid-7th – early 10th C.) were also named by Early Medieval Islamic authors “as the Upper Azerbaijan (Northern) or just Azerbaijan”. The author speculates that the Arabic texts could be interpreted differently, based on linguistic connotations and peculiarities, and argues that the Early Medieval Islamic texts could mean a geographic location different from what Velikhanli specifies.
