When we combine the statements of Priscus and Belazuri,we see that, at least from 466 the Khazars rule in the north lands from Araz river. After Kubad started the war, the khazars withdraw to the north of the Kure river and then to the north of Gilgilchai. In the south of Gilgilçay, Kubad builds a brick defensive wall against the Turks. According to Yakubi after Kubad, the Khazars took the region back, but they could not hold it for a long time. We see that the during the rign of Anushirvan (531-579) Sassanites have been further reduced to the north, repaired Derbent’s fortress. It did not mean that the Turks were removed from this area. Tabari says that Anushirvan has placed about 10 thousand Belejerians (khazars) in Azerbaijan again, divided country into four parts-state, one of them was Azerbaijan and “Khazar’s country" in the vicinity. Movses Kaghankatvatsi writes that Albania (Northern Azerbaijan) (Derbent in the north and the Araz river in the south) were under Khazar control before Arabian attacks. During the first Arabin attacks (642-652) suggests that the Khazars are not ready to defend: they defeated Arabs in the deep of their state - in Belenjer. In 735 The Sasani (as well as the Caliphate) - Khazar border begin to cross from Derbent
