Udins' s church - Religion and religious freedom in Azerbaijan

This so called udin-albanian church or community ist a staterun fake, made by the authority for control of religious communities with help of some azerbaijanian and even udish friends of the udin people and some uninformed others, no one in this church or community is even christian or feels so. This church or community is done, to draw udins away from the Armenian Apostolic Church, to which a lot of the Udins still secretly (because of Stalin and so on) belong, and to give this stateborn church or community church-buildings seized from the Armenian Apostolic church by claiming, that they should be extraordinary old and "albanian". The Armenian church ist absolutely not legal in the Republik of Azerbaijan, all their churches are now profaned, destroyed or minimum closed. The former Albanian Church has been integrated in the Armenian Apostolic Church and is now the archbishopry of Gandzasar in Nagorny Karabagh.Udins speak some kind of a lesgian language, like some neighbouring small and smallest people, udish has a lot in commun with the languages of Nairi and Urartu and (other?) hurritian languages,the albanian language, which was once spoken beside armenian in the old kingdom of Albania and maybe after desintegration in some "albanian"-armenian petty kingdoms and principalities seems to have been a forerunner of modern udish. There have been registered some christian churches and communities in republican Azerbaijan, but of course no armenian one.
