in the southern part of Azerbaijan (to the south of Urmiya 
Lake) in the second half of the third millennium BC. The 
Lullubies also resided in Nuzi city of Assyrian. Thus the strong 
Lulluby state arose in the south of Urmiya Lake at the end of 
the twenty third - the beginning of the twenty second centuries 
BC. The state became even stronger during the reign of 
Anubani. Anubani had created the great state. This state 
covered the southern and south-eastern regions of Lake 
Urmiya. Anubani’s success was engraved on the “stone 
column” with the cuneiform.  
Kuti (or Quti) State Body. This state existed in the II 
half of the 3rd millennium (XXIII-XXII centuries BC) in 
the west and couth-west of Urmiya Lake. Kuti tribes which 
resided in the west and south-west of Urmiya Lake, 
amalgamated and established Kuti tribal unities. Based on this, 
Kuti (or Kutium) state was established in the second half of 
the third millennium BC. 
At the beginning of the XXII century BC the Kuties 
attacked Mesopotamia and collapsed Akkad state. 
Mesopotamia remained under the power of Kuties 
approximately hundreds of years. Kuties didn't carry out major 
changes in the state system of Mesopotamia. The state was 
ruled by successors appointed mainly of the local Sumerian 
and Akkad representatives. 
At that time Kuti state borders stretched from the west 
coast of Lake Urmiya in the north to the Persian Gulf in the 
south. Military clashes between the cities were discontinued 
during the reign of Kuties in Mesopotamia. There was tranqui-
lity on the trade routes stretching from the top sea (Urmiya 
Lake) till the lower sea (Persian Gulf). External attacks to Me-

sopotamia were discontinued; peaceful relations were establis-
hed with the tribes around Urmiya Lake. Sumerian and Akkadian 
young people were attracted to serve in the Kutis army. 
Kuties fell under the influence of the culture of 
Mesopotamia (territory between the two rivers). Taking culture 
and religious beliefs of neighboring Mesopotamia, Kuties wor-
shiped the God of the Moon and the Goddess of love, abundan-
ce and fertility. They continued the construction of traditional 
temples in Sumer or restored destroyed ones. The rebellion 
against Tirikan - the last Kuti ruler was in the city of Uruk in 
Mesopotamia. Tirikan was captured during the battle. Thereby
