First sentence

@CuriousGolden: I don't agree with the way the first sentence of the lede is written. This article is meant to elaborate about the History of the Azerbaijan Republic, discussing everything that happened in relation to its soil, from prehistory to contemporary times. This concept doesn't equal to the history of ethnic Azerbaijanis. We are both well aware that the entire article needs to rewritten (I might do it myself at some point in the future), but the first sentence of the lede is just too misleading for it to remain as it is. - LouisAragon (talk) 12:30, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's similar to the lead in History of Armenia. The sentence you added here doesn't sound very nice in my opinion (it's quite short), but if you can improve it, then we can definitely change it. (Perhaps it could be made similar to how it is on History of Turkey?) — CuriousGolden (T·C) 14:30, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ref bombs

I've been working on History of Azerbaijan#Prehistory. There are four ref bombs in the section, some of this should be moved to the Further reading section. I have enclosed the three instances in notes; this is not a good long term solution due to ref chasing. Does anyone have thoughts on these four instances, and what should be moved to further reading. Since if I go forward I'll be moving refs I wanted to post a discussion first. // Timothy :: talk 19:38, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Aq Qoyunlu Qara Qoyunly

In the early Middle Ages, white sheep were spread over a wide area in the South Caucasus, in the area between the Caucasus Mountains and the Araz River, around Goycha Lake, in the Alagoz grasslands, as well as in the southern regions of Azerbaijan, Eastern Anatolia, Western Iran, the Tigris and Euphrates valleys.

The Aggoyun people belonged to the Bayandur clan of the Oguz. Their names are given as "Bayandur Khan boys" in Turkic-language sources, and "Bayanduriyya" in Persian-language sources The word "Bayandur" in the ancient Turkish language means "a place that is always full of blessings". The name Bayandur comes from Bayandur, the eldest son of Goy Khan, one of the sons of Oghuz Khan. Aggoyunuls considered themselves descendants of Bayandur Khan.

At the time of Hamza Bey, the Bayandur stamp was stamped on Aggoyunlu coins. During the period of Uzun Hasan and his successors, the Bayandur stamp was again printed on coins as a sign of the state. This stamp was also used on the Aggoyunlu flag and inscriptions.Beginning with Hasan, the Aggoyunlu rulers were masters of science and art. Uzun Hasan gathered the most advanced scholars of his time in his palace. Up to 60 scholars worked in the ruler's private library. calligraphy (calligraphy) and miniature painting were among the attention-grabbing areas of Azerbaijani cultural life of this period. In the palace libraries of Aggoyunlu rulers, scientific, artistic, philosophical, religious, and historical works were copied, and miniatures were drawn on their manuscripts. 4 miniature illustrations drawn on the manuscript of poet Hidayat's "Divan" were compiled by Sultan Khalil in 1478. This manuscript copy is in AZERBAİJAN language. During this period, skilled calligraphers such as Mirali Tabrizi, Mirabullah Tabrizi, Suleyman Ali Yaqubi, Nizamuddin Ali Ardabili, Jafar Tabrizi, Azhar Tabrizi, Abdurrahim al-Yaqubi worked in different cities of Azerbaijan.[294] For a long time, a scientific assembly consisting of prominent scientists of the time was active in Hasan's palace. Uzun Hasan translated the Holy Quran into AZERBAİJAN language and wrote an Oghuznam called "Kitabi-Diyarbakriya" to Abu Bakr al-Tehrani, a prominent scientist of the time. Fazlullah ibn Ruzbehan Khunji came to Tabriz in 1487 in Sultan Yaqub's palace and started writing the history of Aggoyunlu state.Bayram Khoja was the founder of Karakoyunlu dynasty. His successor, Kara Muhammad, became a relative of Jalairi Sultan Ahmad in order to resolve the conflict with the Jalairis. This caused the western part of Azerbaijan, including Tabriz, to fall into the hands of the Karagoyun people.

the transformation of Karakoyunli into a big empire happened during the era of Kara Yusif. In an intense struggle with the Timurids and Jalairis, Kara Yusuf managed to create a huge state from Azerbaijan that united Eastern Georgia, Arab Iraq and Ajam Iraq within its borders.

Black Yusif's son Gara Iskander restored the power of Garagoyunlu in 1421 and entered the city after Sultan Shahrukh left Tabriz. In 1421, the battle between Alexander and Shahrukh's troops in the Alashkert valley resulted in Alexander's defeat, but since Shahrukh returnedthen all the lands he occupied were recaptured by Alexander the Black.

Jahan Shah came to power after Black Alexander. Jahan Shah was one of the strong rulers of Karagoyunlu. During his time, Karagoyunlu culture developed. Jahan Shah wrote poems in AZERBAİJAN language and Persian under the pseudonym "Haqiqi". made great conquests and expanded the territory of the Garagoyunlu empire.according to the German Turkologist Gerhard Doerfer, it is very strange that the word "Turkman" still causes confusion for Aggoyunlu and Karagoyunlu Turkmens. The word Turkman actually means "nomadic Oghuz"Aggoyunlu and Karagoyunlu "Turkmen" are AZERBAİJANİS anyway.

After Jahanshah's death in 1467, Hasanali Mirza, who came to power, was killed by Uzun Hasan, thus the Garagoyunlu empire collapsed. 5.191.25.12 (talk) 13:43, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
