Aran (place name) - Aran


[history]
This region was never called Azerbaijan until modern times, and in ancient times an Albanian state (the Kingdom of Caucasian Albania) existed in the area north of the Kura River. In the Middle Ages, Shirvan north of the Kura River, Aran between the Kura and Aras rivers, and Mugan on the Caspian coast were all considered separate regions. It was under the control of the central Iranian government and foreign powers, such as the Sassanid dynasty from the 3rd to 7th centuries, the Umayyad and Abbasid dynasties from the 7th to 10th centuries, and the Seljuk dynasty from the 11th to 13th centuries, but indigenous governments such as the Kingdom of Caucasian Albania and the Shirvan Shah dynasty also survived, and commercial cities such as Kabala, Shamakha, Ganja, and Bayrakan flourished.
