::::@[[User:Itsmejudith|Itsmejudith]], Hasanli's book was published by well established reliable scholarship such as [[Routledge]] 2 years after [[Jamil Hasanli|he]] joined the opposition, so he had no governmental ties when the book was published.

::::[[Firuz Kazemzadeh]] was a respected historian who wrote a [[Firuz Kazemzadeh#Publications|number of published books]] related to the history of Caucasus. With regards to his book being {{tq|very old now}} - I don't think it should be a huge problem, considering that [[WP:OLDSOURCES]] is mostly for cases when the subject is science, politics or fashion related, but when it comes to history, the guideline states that {{tq|historical events, older reports (closer to the event, but not too close such that they are prone to the errors of breaking news) tend to have the most detail, and are less likely to have errors introduced by repeated copying and summarizing}}.

::::@[[User:Itsmejudith|Itsmejudith]] On page 3 of Coyle book, Coyle calls Armenians "recent arrivals" in Nagorno-Karabakh and claims there were no Armenians before the 19th century, a common [[Historical_negationism#Azerbaijan|negationism in Azerbaijani historiography]]. Coyle is claiming the [[Artsakh (historical province)]] and [[Principality of Khachen]] didn't exist. On page 13, Coyle promotes [[Sumgait pogrom#Conspiracy theories in Azerbaijan|Azerbaijani conspiracy theories]] blaming Armenians for the [[Sumgait pogrom]] as credible, which no reliable source would do. McCarthy has had his work published by the University of Utah and lectured at the University of Louisville, so I do not believe it is safe to assume every source is reliable just because it has an academic publisher. Turkey is [https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/12/22/turkey-ends-funding-controversial-research-institute known to provide funding to these institutes].

:Thank you. I forgot to ask an opinion on one more source:

*[[Richard Hovannisian|Hovannisian, Richard G.]], The Republic of Armenia, Vol. I (1971), Vol. II (1982), Vols. III & IV (1996) Berkeley: University of California Press - Is it considered mainstream academic history?
