Remarks on this republicated article to the Arab readers, who don't know the historical facts

• There are many serious mistakes or points that need to be explained. These points are:
  - 1. It is important to declare or notify that Azerbaijan, which is mentioned in page 659 (with capital Tapriz) is historically the Persian province Atrpatakan or Atropatin, and has nothing to do with current Azerbaijan, which was created (put on map) by the British in 1918 ( I have the historical evidences of this fact).

• This discloses the pro-British and pro-Ottoman policy of Al-Muktataf which was recognized by the scholars and researchers.
