Abstract (EN)
Udi society is known as the best archaic society of Caucasia and principally in Azerbaijan. In our present research, identity of Udi society, their adoption of Christianity, events undergone through the historical process and apart from the predominance of Church over the Gregorian Church, contemporarily Church reinvigoration of Udi society and in their daily life setting their beliefs and worships. Armenian public relations in association with Church are being explored. In its two distinct period Armenian's print and assimilation efforts commissioned over belief, culture, language, history and religion written texts covering Udi society and Church in that society and Church at the disposal of researches led to aspiration as Armenian Church. By the year A.D. 705, especially in post-1836 Armenians comprehended the historical Alban heritage, identified and aspired the sanctuaries and occupied lands as their peculiar soils. With that object in mind, when we have a glance at the Western oriented studies in the region over ten century time period preserved its monument Albanian state and their aspiration of Christianity had never been mentioned, entire events generated on the province had been settled up on Albanian society and Armenian Church. Nevertheless, one of the significant features giving priority to Albanian Udi society relies on their acceptance of Christianity at the second half in A.D. I. Century by apostolicals and the construction of the first church at "Chola" province "Kish" village which was identified as the origin of Caucasian Church. The second feature is concentrated upon the religious hierarchic settlement in Albanian state in A.D. IV. century and catholic assignment of their own patriarch. At the same time, Albanian Udi church as collected in 488 with "Aguen Council" provided the identity as the first council incorporating church. One of another feature, by the initial period of Christianity sustaining over monophysite instruction Alban Udis transformed to dyophysite instruction by the year 607. In terms of belief and pray approaches most remarkable feature is the sacrifice of Albanian Udi society blood shedding.
