Church of Caucasian Albania - Legacy

Legacy

In the last chapter of book two, Movses Kaghankatvatsi lists monasteries that were established by Caucasian Albanians in Jerusalem.

  • Monastery of Pand
  • Monastery of Mrouv
  • Monastery of St. Theotokos of Partav
  • Monastery of KaÅ‚ankatouyk
  • Monastery of St. Theotokos of Artsakh
  • Monastery of St. Gregory of Amaras
  • Four other unnamed monasteries repossessed by Arabs at Kaghankatvatsi's time

As a result of the ongoing Armenian-Azerbaijani military confrontation, the Armenian Apostolic Church has not had official representation in Azerbaijan outside Nagorno-Karabakh since the early 1990s. Even as late as 1997, the churches in Udi-populated locales were still closed as a result of the Bolshevik anti-religious campaign of the 1930s.
