Epigraphic and archaeological records related to Urartians in Eastern Azerbaijan, to the east from Urmia lake, near modern cities like Ahar, Tabriz, Sarab, Gilan province are also presented in the paper. For many years, isolated objects of luxury led researchers to the conclusion that Urartu seriously expanded to the east.
