Director of the museum, academician Rafael Huseynov opened the session and spoak on the research conducted by academician Ramiz Mehdiyev, related to Shah Ismail Khatai and the Safavid state, and its significance in the scientific life of country.

The book is extremely important as the fact of thorough research and coverage of the intelligence and political-ideological activities of the Gregorian Church against the Safavid state (XVII - the first part of the XVIII century) for the first time in Azerbaijani historical science.

The monograph, contains 4 chapters, expresses a reasonable critical attitude to the fiction of Armenians that “Safavid shahs lived in constant fear of Armenians”, explores the espionage activities of Armenians, loyal to the “old trade” - espionage, in the territory of the Safavid Empire in favor of Western states, noted on the struggle of Safavid governor against the emissaries of the Vatican and their Armenian accomplices
