The Role of Mosques and Sanctuaries in the Social and Political Life of Nakhchivan Society

Abstract

Research has revealed that scientists studying mosques and sanctuaries have focused their attention mainly on solving the volumetric structure of architectural monuments and their architectural structures. The role of mosques and sanctuaries in the socio-political life of society has not been sufficiently studied. Research shows that mosques and sanctuaries were no only places of worship, but also played an important role in solving social and economic issues. Marriages were also registered in mosques, and judicial and cultural and educational events were held. Some mosques were also important political centers in the fight against foreign invaders that emerged around the sanctuaries, as in the case of Alinjachay Khanaga. In the course of our research, it was established that mosques and sanctuaries, which were important socio-political and ideological centers of the Middle Ages, played an important role in the formation and development of settlements. We have established that the Alinjachay Khanaga sanctuary, located in the Julfa region, and the Astabad sanctuary in the Babek region turned into an urban-type settlement, and many villages appeared around the Asabi-Kahf sanctuary, including the settlement of Khachaparag.
