Armenians have resumed archaeological digs in the Azikh cave located in the Fizuli region occupied by Armenians in 1993. According to Armenia Today, the digs in the cave resumed in mid July. Armenians hold digs in the Azikh cave beginning from 1999.
In 1968 Azerbaijani archaeologist Mammadali Huseynov discovered a paleontological station in the Azikh cave, in the Guruchay gorge, the studies of which played a great role in studying people's living of that time. The Azikh cage is among most interesting habitats of people and has no analogues in the territory of the former USSR.
The Azikh cave located at the height of 900 m above the sea is related to the holizontal through caves of corridor type extending to over 200 meters and about 1250 square meters in area. Two analogous corridors and five halls exist in the cave.
The lower jaw of the pre-Neanderthal man (a young girl) was found in the cave in 1968. After the research, scientists came to a conclusion that she lived about 350,000-400,000 years ago.
