A place where the millennial history of ancient Azerbaijan lives-Gamigaya monument
A historical treasure created by ancient people
The study of Gamigaya monuments, which has hidden the secrets of history in itself for many years,began in the 1970s during the first period of national leader Heydar Aliyev's political leadership in Azerbaijan. In 1971, the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Azerbaijan decided to conduct research in Gamigaya, publish a scientific album, and make a fictional-scientific film, in 1970-1987,research was conducted in Gamigaya , a number of scientific materials were published. Unfortunately, it was forgotten in the late 1980s, and research was intermitted. Taking advantage of the gap, nationalist Armenian "researchers" secretly conducted research in Gamigaya. As a result of the work, in the published materials "Rock carvings of Navsar" and "Memorial monuments and reliefs of Nakhchivan" , Armenian scientists, adhering to their traditions in falsifying history, tried to write Gamigaya monuments, the oldest monuments of our people, as Armenian monuments without any scientific basis, Gamigaya's name was changed to "Navsar", "Tapanasar".
Emphasizing that Gamigaya is a very important monument in terms of studying the historical past of the Azerbaijani people, our national leader Heydar Aliyev said: "Nakhchivan has beautiful natural monuments. Gamigaya is a famous place in the world ... It is our great wealth. There are human footprints. This is the history of Azerbaijan and its integral part, Nakhchivan. We need to take care of them"
