The translator of the book is Pusta Akhundova. The author of comments and notes is Eldar Amirov, a PhD in Political Sciences. The translator of the archive documents in Persian is Shahin Yahyayev, Deputy Director at the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) Institute for Caucasian Studies (Caucasiology).
