There are three places called Albany 1. A city near London [Albany; it was said that there the first Christian roman soldier was killed] 2. Central Albania [actually Albanoi = Alb banoi - there lived Alb or the Alp mountainous people, people that lived in the (h)ill there is no coincidence that the greatest Albanian colony in Asia near China and Turkmenistan is located in very high ground along the longest river called Il
3. A country in Caucasus region near Caspian Sea.
The Albanians are from the Caucasus, originally. Caucasian Albania was located on the eastern area of the Caucasus between the Caspian sea and the tips of the mountain ranges. Old Albania was known only for wild dogs and baren
snow covered mountains, for which it received the name Albania by foreigners (Alba-white).
One of the GREATEST PROOFS that Albanians do come from the Caucasus and that THEY ARE NOT the descendants of the Ancient Illyrians is the
Turkish name for the Albanians. "Arnauti", which means
"those who have not returned" in Arabic, for the Turks were aware of the origins of the Albanians. And they truly did not return, they stayed in Serbian and Byzantine lands.
Michael Ataliotos describes the events in his chronicle: "Historia, Corpus Scriptorum Historiae Byzantinae. Impensis ed. Neberi, Bonnae".
In the republic of Georgia, in the Caucasus, on the terriory of the former
Caucasian Albania, from where the Avar Khanate once had its capital, there is a
village named:
"Arnauti". This is the name by which Serbs, Greeks, Turks, Macedonians and Montenegrins refer to Albanians in their respective langauges.
There is also a village in Georgia named "Bushati" - which is the name of an Albanian tribe ("fis") around Lake Skadar. There are three villages named: "Geguti", "Gegeni" and "Gegi". "Ghegheni" is the name designated to Albanians who live north of the Shkumbi River in Albania proper.
The Albanians call themselves "
Shqip-tari". This name is not Indo-European in origin and contains in it the Ural-Altaic suffix "ar" or "tar". Much like: "Khaz-AR", "
Av-AR", "
Magy-AR", "
Bulg-AR", "
Hung-AR", "
Ta-TAR" -
"Ship-TAR". Taken together with the
Shqiptar-Albanian toponyms on the territory of the former Caucasian Albania, this theory on the etymology of "Shqipatr" becomes more plausable.
Kalankaytukskiy mentioned in his "
History of Albanians" about the Trtu river [93]. This river is present "Ter-ter" river is situated in
Azerbaijan. Considering that the
Albanians as Bulgar- Oguz were the main part of the Skifians we can make some parallel.
The city of Volga Bulgarian- "Bulgar" of the medieval authors was situated near the city of "Saksin" [94].
Albanians are mentioned for the first time in 331 BC at the Battle of Gaugamela as participants from the satrapy of Media.
Strabo, Ptolemy and Pliny all write that at this time, the border between Albania and the Kingdom of Greater Armenia was through the river Kura. At the same time Strabo writes that the river of Kura flows through Albania.
As a result of the expansion of Seljuks (Turks) into the territory of modern Azerbaijan in the 11th century, the indigenous Albanian population were
assimilated.
