\"ir_038\"<\/a>Amir Saad tomb in Jafarabad village situated on the Irevan-Echmiadzin road is the only monument that survived among Azerbaijani historic monuments existed in Irevan city and around it. As after restoration-refubishment works\u00a0 the official circles of Irevan present the Blue mosque\u00a0 as \u201cIranian\u201d or \u201cPersian\u201d, they also call medieval tomb in Jafarabad village \u201cTurkmen tomb\u201d.<\/p>\n

The purpose of Armenians is apparent: After implementation of ethnic cleansing policy against Azerbaijanis in the historic Azerbaijani lands – present day Armenia, also to wipe off historic-architectural monuments belonging to them the face of the earth, if it is not possible, to mislead by changing their names.<\/p>\n

The name of Jafarabad village of Zangibasar (Masis) region territorial-administrative division was changed to Argavand by the order dated April 4, 1946 of the Presidium of Supreme Soviet of Armenia SSR and the name of Goykumbet village to Ghekhanist from December 1, 1949.<\/p>\n

There had been a cemetery of Saad subtribe leaders under Garagoyunlu tribe. There were some tombs in the cemetery, only one of them \u2013 Amir Saad tomb survived to our days.<\/p>\n

Amir Saad tomb was erected in 1413 by Amir Saad\u2019s son Pir Hussain, one of the Garagoyunlu amirs. The areas under Amir Saad\u2019s rule was called Chukhur Saad, i.e. Saad\u2019s valley still in his time. The territories of Chukhur Saad emirate included lowland part of present Igdir province of Turkey former Surmeli area and Agri Dagh valley. During the reign of Pir Hussain, Kars city and surrounding areas was in the boundary of emirate. According to Armenian historian A.D.Papazyan, the name Chukhur-Saad in Armenian sources\u00a0 was first noted\u00a0 in the trade document of 1428\u00a0\u00a0 which is\u00a0 kept in Matenadaran now.\u00a0 The\u00a0 sale-purchase document of Uchkilsa (Vagharshabad, present Echmiadzin) village noted that Uchkilsa village was one of the villages of Karpi area which was situated in Chukhur-Saad vilayet of Azerbaijan. In the document which was compiled in Arabic, witnesses called themselves \u201cSaadis\u201d.<\/p>\n

One year after\u00a0 Amir Teymur\u2019s death\u00a0 in 1406\u00a0 Gara Yusif, the head of the Garagoyunlu tribal federation,\u00a0 defeated Amir Teymur\u2019s grandson Abu Bakir in Chukhur-Saad and made him flee.\u00a0 That was the end of the Teymurid dynasty. Gara Yusif assigned the governance of that area to the chief of Saad tribe Amir Saad again who governed that territory till the end of the XIV century. Amir Saad died in 1411.<\/p>\n

Two years after\u00a0\u00a0 Amir Saad\u2019s\u00a0 death in 1413 Pir Hussain built that tomb on his father\u2019s grave.\u00a0 The main\u00a0 feature differing\u00a0 that tomb\u00a0 from other\u00a0 medieval monuments was that it was made of local red tuff stone not\u00a0 brick.\u00a0\u00a0 In 1939 renowned researcher of Azerbaijani architectural history Leonid Bretanski made measurements in Amir Saad tomb along with G.Yelkin, L.Mamikanov, D.Motis. L.Bretinski called Amir Saad tomb a unique form of \u201ctransition\u201d from Momina Khatun tomb\u2019s brick\u00a0 architecture to the lithic one.<\/p>\n

The first part of\u00a0\u00a0 the inscription of the tomb begins with the name of merciful Allah and Ayat 255 of Sura 2 of Koran in Arabic\u00a0 like in many other tombs.\u00a0\u00a0 After that, the names of historical figures of Azerbaijan Garagoyunlu state are enumerated. The inscription says: This sacred tomb has been erected by the order of Amir Saad\u2019s son Pir Hussain- the pillar of the greatest, the most graceful, kindest padishahs and sultans, protector of the poor and vagrants, guardian of the wise and hungry for knowledge, patron to the poor and sufferers, the love of his state. Long live his just ruling. May pure be the soil of the kind, late, embraced by the kindest, Amir Saad. May Allah make ruling of Pir Budag khan and Yusif noye eternal in padishah\u2019s reign, kind sovereign, shah of the shahs of the East and West, pillar of the state and religion, Rajab 15, Hijri 816\u201d. That date corresponds to October 11,\u00a0 1413 AD.<\/p>\n

Armenians\u2019 position is renaming historic monuments of Azerbaijanis which survived in Irevan, as \u201cPersian\u201d, \u201cTurkman\u201d or \u201cMongol\u201d by falsifying the history and thus concealing the original owner of them. Armenians included the name of that tomb which has been discovered in Abovyan street in the list of the monuments that are under the protection of Armenian government like a \u2018Mongol monument\u2019 .<\/p>\n

Official Iravan used \u2018Turkman monument\u2019 card during the official visit of the new president of Turkmenistan Gurbangulu Berdimuhamadev to Yerevan. On November 28, 2012 in the Great Concert Hall of Irevan there was a presentation of\u00a0 Gurbangulu Berdimuhamadev\u2019s three books (\u201c\u041f\u043e\u043b\u0435\u0442\u043d\u0435\u0431\u0435\u0441\u043d\u044b\u0445\u0441\u043a\u0430\u043a\u0443\u043d\u043e\u0432\u201d, \u201c\u0422\u0443\u0440\u043a\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u201d and \u201c\u0422\u0443\u0440\u043a\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d \u2013 \u043a\u0440\u0430\u0439\u0438\u0441\u0446\u0435\u043b\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0439\u201d), which were translated into Armenian. The following day\u00a0 they took\u00a0 the president of Turkmenistan to Jafarabad village and showed how they protected\u00a0\u00a0 Amir Saad tomb as a \u2018Turkman monument\u2019.\u00a0 Moved by the \u201ccare\u201d of Armenians, the president of Turkmenistan signed partnership agreements in different fields with Armenia which of no geopolitical and economic importance for his country and even he articulated Turkmenistan\u2019s intention to export electrical energy to Armenia.<\/p>\n
