On April 26, 2019, Doctor Zaur Hasanov, the head of the Department on Ancient Period Archeology of the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography at ANAS, was the guest of the History of Wars course, taught by Orkhan Zamanov, teacher of the History and Archeology Department at Khazar University. He delivered a lecture entitled “The Scythian Trail in Azerbaijan”, dedicated to the theme of the history, origins and military issues of the Scythians. The lecture was attended by the first-year students, majoring in History (Teaching), International Relations and Regional Studies. After a detailed report, delivered by Zaur Hasanov on such themes as the national identity of Scythians, the burial traditions of the Scythians, and their wars, the numerous interesting and thought-provoking questions of the students were answered.

At the end of the lecture, which was of great interest to the students, a broad discussion between the students and Ziya Samadli and Zaur Hasanov, the teachers of the Department of History and Archeology took place. The contemporary issues of archaeological problems, as well as the priorities of the history of Azerbaijan, were among the important issues discussed.
