Azerbaijan/Kish (Kiş) Village Part 26

Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Kish (Kiş) is a town in Sheki Rayonu.
Kish is a town of 7,000 that is about 5km from Sheki. It is a bumpy ride on the narrow cobblestone roads, but well worth it to visit the beautiful Albanian church and this picturesque mountain town.
The Church of Kish (Azerbaijani: Kiş kilsəsi), also known by different sources as Church of Saint Elishe (Azerbaijani: Müqəddəs Yelisey kilsəsi, or Holy Mother of God Church is an inactive 12th or 13th century Caucasian Albanian church located in the village of Kiş approximately 5 km north of Shaki, Azerbaijan. It has functioned at different times as a Caucasian Albanian Apostolic churcha Chalcedonian church within the Georgian Orthodox Church and later as Armenian Apostolic Church.
According to the 7th century Armenian historian Movses Kaghankatvatsi, in the 1st century AD St. Elishe, a disciple of Thaddeus of Edessa, arrived to a place called Gis (Գիս), where he built a church and recited a liturgy. The church became the spiritual center and the place of enlightenment of people of the East. On his way from Gis St. Elishe was killed near the pagan altar in the small Zerguni valley by unknown people.
According to the Armenian historian on architecture Samvel Karapetian, the geographical position of Kish does not seem to match that described by Kaghankatvatsi. Karapetian believes that they have identified Gis as the village of Bomen/Bum 60 km to the south-east of Kish, in Gabala district.
According to a Georgian historiographer, in the 10th century, the population of Kish converted to the Georgian Orthodox Church (Chalcedonism). The church of Kish was turned into a residence of a Georgian bishop, functioning till 17th century. By the time when Russia took possession of the region the village of Kish had Udi population.According to Robert H. Hewsen, the Udi language appeared to have been prevalent north of Kura River until the nineteenth century, and the Armenian population appeared to be of relatively recent arrival. While many Armenians undoubtedly settled there fleeing the Turko-Mongolic invasions, many more entered the region with the coming of the Russians in the early nineteenth century.
In 1836, the Albanian church, along with all active churches in this region that were not Georgian or Russian, was incorporated into the Armenian Apostolic Church, and the Church of Kish was refounded in 1860s and became a place of pilgrimage due to the belief that it was associated with Elishe (Yegishe).Wikipedia

Azerbaijan -- Muslim & Christian Villages

Who are the Molokans? Russian Christian Sect exiled to Azerbaijan

Who are the Molokans? The Russian Religious Christian Sect exiled to Azerbaijan from Central European Russia in the 1800’s. This group of people don’t have photos in their homes, don’t watch TV, don’t drink alcohol or eat pork. They set up home in the village of Ivanovka in the centre of Azerbaijan. A place where they were free to practice their own religion and live in peace.
These ethnic Russians were banished here during the Russian Empire period by Tsar Katherine the great for their different religious beliefs and in the hope to cause them issues from the local Azeri muslim population. However, this wasn’t the case and the Russian population were welcomed in to Azerbaijan and have stayed here ever since, throughout both the Soviet Union period and the period of modern Azerbaijan.
Nowadays, there are generations of Molokans who speak Russian, are ethnically Russian but have no association with the modern country. We travelled to Ivanovka to explore and fond out more about this unique Christian sect, their traditions and how they live in 2022 & modern Azerbaijan more generally ????????????????

[한국어 정보]
셰키에는 초기 기독교 교회인 알바니안 사원이 있다. 이 교회는 아제르바이잔뿐 아니라 카프카스 지역에서 가장 오래된 교회로 8년 전에 발굴됐다. “원래 다신교 사원이었던 곳을 4세기에 예루살렘에서 온 선교사가 교회로 지은 것입니다.” 이슬람 국가인줄로만 알았는데 초기 기독교 교회라니, 동서양을 잇는 실크로드의 나라란 게 실감이 났다.

The original mission came from Jerusalem were four won the polytheistic place in the 4th century church is built in.

Baku, Baku Region, Azerbaijan, Eurasia

Baku is the capital and largest city of Azerbaijan, as well as the largest city on the Caspian Sea and of the Caucasus region. Baku is located 28 meters below sea level, which makes it the lowest lying national capital in the world. Baku is also the largest city in the world located below sea level. It is located on the southern shore of the Absheron Peninsula, which projects into the Caspian Sea. The city consists of two principal parts: the downtown and the old Inner City (21.5 ha). Baku's urban population at the beginning of 2009 was estimated at just over two million people. Officially, about 25 percent of all inhabitants of the country live in the metropolitan city area of Baku. Baku is divided into eleven administrative districts (raions) and 48 townships. Among these are the townships on islands in the Baku Bay and the town of Oil Rocks built on stilts in the Caspian Sea, 60 km (37 mi) away from Baku. The Inner City of Baku along with the Shirvanshah's Palace and Maiden Tower were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. According to the Lonely Planet's ranking, Baku is also among the world's top ten destinations for urban nightlife. The city is the scientific, cultural and industrial center of Azerbaijan. Many sizeable Azerbaijani institutions have their headquarters there, including SOCAR, one of the world's top 100 companies and others. The Baku International Sea Trade Port, sheltered by the islands of the Baku Archipelago to the east and the Absheron Peninsula to the north, is capable of handling two million tons of general and dry bulk cargoes per year. Baku hosted the 57th Eurovision Song Contest in 2012 and will host the 2015 European Games. The urban landscape of Baku is shaped by many communities. The religion with the largest community of followers is Islam. The majority of the Muslims are Shia Muslims, and the Republic of Azerbaijan has the second highest Shia population percentage in the world after Iran. Zoroastrianism had a long history in Azerbaijan, evident in sites such as the Fire Temple of Baku or ceremonies like Nowruz, along with Manichean. The city's notable mosques include Juma Mosque, Bibi-Heybat Mosque, Muhammad Mosque and Taza Pir Mosque. There are some other faiths practiced among the different ethnic groups within the country. By article 48 of its Constitution, Azerbaijan is a secular state and ensures religious freedom. Religious minorities include Russian Orthodox Christians, Catholic Levantines, Ashkenazi Jews and Sufi Muslims. Today the vast majority of the population of Baku are ethnic Azerbaijanis (more than 90%). The intensive growth of the population started in the middle of the 19th century when Baku was a small town with a population of about 7,000 people. The population increased again from about 13,000 in the 1860s to 112,000 in 1897 and 215,000 in 1913, making Baku the largest city in the Caucasus region. Baku has been a cosmopolitan city at certain times during its history, meaning ethnic Azerbaijanis did not constitute the majority of population. In 2003 Baku additionally had 153,400 internally displaced persons and 93,400 refugees. Baku's largest industry is petroleum, and its petroleum exports make it a large contributor to Azerbaijan's balance of payments. The existence of petroleum has been known since the 8th century. In the 10th century, the Arabian traveler, Marudee, reported that both white and black oil were being extracted naturally from Baku. By the 15th century, oil for lamps was obtained from hand-dug surface wells. Commercial exploitation began in 1872, and by the beginning of the 20th century the Baku oil fields were the largest in the world. Towards the end of the 20th century much of the onshore petroleum had been exhausted, and drilling had extended into the sea offshore. By the end of the 19th century skilled workers and specialists flocked to Baku. By 1900 the city had more than 3,000 oil wells, of which 2,000 were producing oil at industrial levels. Baku ranked as one of the largest centres for the production of oil industry equipment before World War II. The World War II Battle of Stalingrad was fought to determine who would have control of the Baku oil fields. Fifty years before the battle, Baku produced half of the world's oil supply. Currently the oil economy of Baku is undergoing a resurgence, with the development of the massive Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli field (Shallow water Gunashli by SOCAR, deeper areas by a consortium led by BP), development of the Shah Deniz gas field, the expansion of the Sangachal Terminal and the construction of the BTC Pipeline.

Azerbaijani Turk Protects Armenian Church in Turkey ????????

???????? We took a road trip to Lake Çıldır, north of Kars Province in Eastern Turkey, and visited Doğruyol Village which is an Azeri inhabited settlement located at the point where the Turkish, Georgian and Armenian borders meet.

To be more specific, the village is populated by Terekeme people, an ethnic group of Azerbaijanis, who mostly live in Dagestan, Azerbaijan and Turkey.

At the village we met a local Azeri man named Atanur who protects the Armenian church and the old Armenian graves from treasure hunters. He showed us the ancient 10th-century church and the mosque that was built adjacent to it.

Later on we visited the site of an old Armenian cemetery, where Atanur told us that when people dig the ground and bases of houses, they find many human bones and skulls.

Continuing my travels to the east of Turkey.
