Before Tudhaliya III .281500-1340s BC.29 Hayasa-Azzi
location of hayasa-azzi
hittite inscriptions deciphered in 1920s swiss scholar emil forrer testify existence of mountain country, hayasa and/or azzi, lying around lake van. several prominent authorities agree in placing azzi north of ishuwa. others see hayasa , azzi identical.
records of time between telipinu , tudhaliya iii sketchy. hittites seem have abandoned capital @ hattusa , moved sapinuwa under 1 of earlier tudhaliya kings. in 14th century bc, sapinuwa burned well. hattusili iii records @ time azzi had made samuha frontier. should borne in mind people view great civilizations not particular group of so-called barbarians fighting. @ times multiple atrocities blamed on 1 group rallying cry current war.
