In Old Assyrian (“Cappadocian”), Old Hittite and Babylonian sources of the first half of the II millennium BC there is information about the history of the Armenian Highland of this period.

The book includes Assyrian (“Cappadocian”), Old Hittite, and Old Babylonian texts containing information about the countries and cities of the Armenian Highland. It should be noted that Old Assyrian (“Cappadocian”) cuneiform sources are unique in terms of covering the political and socio-economic life of that period. Sources that date back to the periods of the Old Babylonian and Hittite kingdoms are also of great historiographical importance. Most of these sources have not been introduced into the scientific circulation of Armenian studies. They provide an opportunity to get an idea of the political and economic situation of the western and southern parts of the Armenian Highland.
