- The name of Karabakh roots from the Azerbaijani words “qara (kara)” (black) and “bağ” (garden). As a name of Azerbaijani territories the expression of “Karabakh” is met in the resources of the 7^th century B.C.  The formation history of “Karabakh” as a definite province and region of Azerbaijan gives opportunity for scientific explanation of its etymology. Because the word of “qara (kara)” also means “thick”, “dense”, “great”, “dark”, and etc. in Azerbaijani and other Turkic languages. In this view, “Karabakh” means “qara bağ (kara bakh)”, that is “great garden”, “thick garden”, “dense garden”, “scenic garden”. Thus as Karabakh itself, the word of “Karabakh” belongs to Azerbaijani nation.

The interesting one is that “Karabakh” has no meaning and explanation in Armenian. And it proves once more how native is the name and the territory for Azerbaijan.
