Հայոց Արևելից կողմանց իրավական տեսանկյուններն իրավահայտ աղբյուրներում և վիմագրերում

Archaeological and historical data indicate that in medieval Armenian sources the names "Armenian Eastern Side", "Eastern World", "Aluan World", "Deep World of Armenians", "North-Eastern Side" were used for the territories of the provinces of Artsakh and Utik of the Kingdom of Greater Armenia. Due to historical and political events, the Armenian Eastern Side, having merged with the Aluan marzpanate, was also simply called Aluank, but only with a geographical meaning for the Armenian provinces. The subject of the article covers the period of the early and late Middle Ages and touches on one of the most important issues of key importance, which contains many undeniable historical and legal facts about the belonging of the historical territories of Utik and Artsakh to the Armenian people. These facts are reflected in the works of medieval Armenian historians and in the lapidary inscriptions from Aluank. The Alba-nian Church, being one of the dioceses of the Armenian Apostolic Church, was guided by all the canonical and legal norms, and if new canons were often revised and restored together, they had a pan-Armenian significance. The Armenian people in the Middle Ages did not have unified collections or codes that would reflect the content and volume of Armenian law, with the excep-tion of the Armenian church legislative assemblies and several national court books. In this regard, the coverage of a number of legal issues in the medieval history of Artsakh is inextricably linked with the Armenian law of the same era. From this point of view, the works of historians and epigraphic inscriptions contain sufficient data.
