Abstract

Localization of Azzi-Hayaša Land mentioned in Hittite cuneiform texts dated 2nd millennium BC is not certain. This land equates generally some part of Eastern Black Sea region, but the determinations about this topic are mostly a statement of personal opinion, The purpose of this article is to examine Hittite cuneiform texts which provide information on the subject-matter and to strengthen the argument that Eastern Anatolia (region between Erzurum and Lake Van) may be more suitable for Azzi-Hayaša Land. It will also be pointed out that, in terms of contributing to the subject, the archaeological evidences related cultural and political conditions of the region and dated in the Late Bronze Age, are similar features with the Hittite cuneiform texts.
