Panah Khalilov (alternative spelling: Penah Xelilov), as shown in the film "Alias Kurban Said", is the creator of the Chamanzaminli archive. He referred in the film to a Chamanzaminli story published in 1907 which he believes is a "primary variant," rather than "the complete "Ali and Nino"." He also referred to "a book, written in German and published in Berlin" whose author had met Nussimbaum, had read "Blood and Oil in the Orient", and "had written an essay about it in which he accuses him of insulting his people by saying that the core of the Azerbeidshan people were Jews" – a characterization that Cerkez Qurbanov, who translated "Blood and Oil" into Azeri, vociferously denied was true about "Blood and Oil in the Orient".
