Current situation

Armenians co­vered up these historical facts and hid them from the public.

Information:

An ancient Oghuz cemetery was disco­vered during the excavation for the construction of a farm in the hills above the village of Yengija. The fact that the length of these graves is about 3 meters also proves that they are Oghuz graves. At the same time, this place was called Oghuz cemetery among the popu­la­tion.

The ancient Og­huz-Turkic ce­me­tery is an im­portant histo­ri­cal source for stu­dying the his­­tory of an­cient Azer­bai­jan.
