History
The territory on which Kashatag province was subsequently formed was part of the Artsakh province of the Kingdom of Armenia and Syunik. In the Middle Ages, there existed Armenian principality. In the valley of the river Akera was the most famous principality Kashatag.2 The territory remained predominantly Armenian-up to Russian-Persian wars and the South Caucasus invasion of the Ottoman army in the 18th century. Russian forces managed to invade the Caspian provinces of Persia, and in 1723 while simultaneously fighting the Afghans in the east and Turks in the west, Persia was forced to cede the Caspian provinces to the Russian empire. Artsakh Armenian principalities, including Kashatag principality, supported Russia in the war.
