Shamakhi

Şamaxı (also, known as Shamakhi) is a city in and the capital of the Shamakhi Rayon of Azerbaijan. The city has a rich heritage and has provided the backdrop to major political events throughout much of its two millennia of existence. The city's estimated population as of 2010 was 31,704.〔http://world-gazetteer.com/wg.php?x=1&men=gpro&lng=en&des=wg&geo=-26&srt=npan&col=abcdefghinoq&msz=1500&pt=c&va=&geo=470326863〕 It is famous for its traditional dancers, the Shamakhi Dancers, and also for giving its name to the Soumak rugs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Soumac )
In its history eleven major earthquakes have rocked Shamakhi, but through multiple reconstructions it maintained its role as the economic and administrative capital of Shirvan and one of the key towns on the Silk Road. The only building to have survived eight of the eleven earthquakes is the landmark Juma Mosque of Shamakhi, built in the 10th century.
==History==

Shamakhi was first mentioned as ''Kamachia'' by the ancient Greco-Roman Egyptian geographer Claudius Ptolemaeus in the 1st to 2nd century CE.
Shamakhi was an important town during the Middle Ages and served as a capital of the Shirvanshah state from the 8th to 15th centuries and the capital of the Shirvan Khanate, which was also known as the khanate of Shemakha. From the early 16th century up to the early course if the 19th century, the town was part of the various Iranian empires, starting with the Safavids, then the Afsharids, and lastly the Qajars, until the town was conquered and annexed in 1805 by Imperial Russia during the Russo-Persian War (1804-1813). Iran officially ceded irrevocable suzerainty over Shamakhi to Russia conform the Treaty of Gulistan of 1813 which ended the 1804-1813 war, thus making the town switch after centuries to Russian rule, for a period up to the fall of the Soviet Union.
The Catholic friar, missionary and explorer William of Ruysbroeck passed through it on his return journey from the Mongol Great Khan's court. In 1476 Venetian diplomat Giosafat Barbaro, while describing the city, stated: "This () is a good city; it has from four to five thousand houses, it produces silk, cotton as well as other things according to its tradition; it is situated in greater Armenia (Armenia grande) and the majority of its residents are Armenians".〔(Barbaro Iosaphat, Viaggi fatti da Vinetia, alla Tana, in Persia, in India, et in Costantinopoli. ALDUS. – IN VINEGIA. M. D. XLIII. (1543) p. 55 )
"Questa è buona città: fa fuochi da quarto in cinquemila, lauora laiori di seta & cottoni, & altri mestieri secondo i loro costume, et è nella Armenia grande, e buona parte de habitatori sone Armeni".
〕 In 1562 Englishman Anthony Jenkinson described the city in the following terms: "This city is five days' walk on camels from the sea, now it has fallen a lot; it is predominantly populated by Armenians..."〔Извѣстiя Англичанъ о Россiи во второй половинѣ ХVI вѣка. Переводъ съ Англiйскаго, съ предисловiемъ С. М. Середонина, p. 63〕〔(Principal Navigations, Voyages and Discoveries of the English Nation, 2nd ed., London 1598, London Reprinted 1985, p. 91-101. "Journey of Anthony Jenkinson into Persia" )〕
Adam Olearius, who visited Shamakhi in 1637, wrote: "Its inhabitants are in part Armenians and Georgians, who have their particular language; they would not understand each other if they did not use Turkish, which is common to all and very familiar, not only in Shirvan, but also everywhere in Persia".〔(Olearius. Relation du voyage de Adam Olearius en Moscovie, Tartarie et Perse..., vol. 1, traduit de l'allemand par A. de Wicquefort, Paris, 1666, p 405-406 )〕 The Ottoman traveller Evliya Celebi visited the town in 1647 and described it as having The Russians first entered Shirvan in 1723, as they invaded the Safavid Iranian territories in the North Caucasus and Transcaucasia during the Russo-Persian War (1722-1723), but soon retired leaving it to Ottomans who possessed it in 1723-35, until Nadir Shahs rise. In 1742 Shamakhi was taken and destroyed by Nadir Shah of Persia reincorporating it back to Iran, and, who, to punish the inhabitants for their Sunnite creed, built a new town under the same name about to the west, at the foot of the main chain of the Caucasus Mountains. The new Shamakhi was at different times a residence of the Shirvan Khanate, ruled by the from Iran semi-independent khans, but it was finally abandoned, and the old town rebuilt. In the mid-1700s, the population of Shamakhi was about 60,000, most of whom were Armenians.〔"Shamaki, reckoned the capital of this province, stands on a river which falls into the Caspian-Sea, and is about sixty-six miles from Derbent towards the south, and ninety-two from Gangea to the south-east. This city was one of the best and most populous of Persia, before it was destroyed by an earthquake. It is, however, supposed to contain near 60,000 inhabitants, chiefly Armenians and strangers, whom the pleasantness of the country and traffic have invited thither" (An Universal History: From the Earliest Accounts to the Present Time, by George Sale, George Psalmanazar, Archibald Bower, George Shelvocke, John Campbell, John Swinton, vol. 43, London, 1765, p. 138)〕 The Shirvan Khanate was finally annexed by Russia in 1805 during the Russo-Persian War (1804-1813) and Qajar Iran was forced to irrevocably cede the sovereignty over the town after centuries in the early modern era, to Russia, conform the Treaty of Gulistan of 1813.
The British Penny Cyclopaedia stated in 1833 that "The bulk of the population of Shirvan consists of the Tahtar, or, to speak more correctly, Turkish race, with some admixture of Arabs and Persians. . . . Besides the Mohammedans, who form the mass of the population, there are many Armenians, some Jews, and a few Gipsies. According to the official returns of 1831, the number of males belonging to the Mohammedan population was 62,934; Armenians, 6,375; Jews, 332; total males 69,641. The prevalent language of Shirvan is what is there called Toorkee or Turkish, which is also used in Azerbijan". The same source also states that according to the official returns of 1832, the city of Shamakhi was inhabited by only 2,233 families, as a result of devastation from the sack of the city "in the most barbarous manner by the highlanders of Daghestan" in 1717.〔The Penny Cyclopædia of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, vol. XI, London, 1833, p. 174-175.〕 The Encyclopædia Britannica stated that in 1873 the city had 25,087 inhabitants, "of which 18,680 were Tartars and Shachsevans, 5,177 were Armenians, and 1,230 Russians". Silk production continued to be the main output, with 130 silk-winding establishments, owned mostly by Armenians, although the industry had considerably declined since 1864.〔The Encyclopædia Britannica, vol. 21, Philadelphia, 1894, p. 831, article "Shirvan".〕
Shamakhi was the capital of the Shamakhi Governorate of the Russian Empire until the devastating earthquake of 1859, when the capital of the province was transferred to Baku. The importance of the city declined sharply afterwards. According to the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary (vol. 77, p. 460, published in 1903), Shamakhi had 20,008 inhabitants (10,450 males and 9,558 females), of which 3% were Russians, 18% were Armenians, and 79% "Azerbaijani Tatars". With regard to religion, 79% of the population was Muslim, of which 22% was Sunni and the rest Shiite; the remaining 21% was "Armeno-Gregorian" (members of the Armenian Apostolic Church) and "Pravoslav" (Orthodox).〔(Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary. Shemakha )〕
