The book, intended for experts and a wide readership, gives the history and explanation of the toponyms of 737 residential areas, 499 abolished villages and settlements, 704 renamed administrative units, 231 oronims, 116 hydronyms, 137 meadows and winter meadows, which are the ancestral home of Azerbaijanis in Armenia.
