History of Artsakh /Karabakh/, Brief historical overview of Artsakh

Since the beginning of the 5000-year old history of Armenia,Artsakh has been part of historical Armenia.The ownership of Artsakh has been disputed by Azerbaijan,which was founded only in May 1918; before that,no such a state-nation ever existed.Azerbaijan has created a fictional history,and has nurtured its population and educated generations with it.But Azeris can get acquainted with the real history not only from the Armenian, but also from the Persian,Byzantine,Roman,Assyrian and other sources. They’d better try to find the name of their country in the maps created before 1918;They will not find it in any way.This is Armenia according to the World Map, where Artsakh and Utik are among the 15states of Greater Armenia.when talking about the Artsakh issue, everyone seems to have forgotten about Utik and Paytakaran, which were part of historical Armenia and are now part of Azerbaijan.Utik stretched to the Kura River, which was the border with the allied state of Aghvank.Western Armenia, under the Turkish rule, was subjected to genocide, in the 1890s the Hamidian massacres took place and in 1914-23 there was The Great Genocide organized by the Young Turks.Western Armenia was emptied of Armenians.And the purpose of all this was the idea of the Great Turan dreamed by the Turks,according to which the Turks wanted to unite all the Turkish tribes in a single state,from their ancestral homeland Central Asia to Asia Minor,including the Caucasus,the Armenian Highlands,northern China and northern Persia.The Artsakh struggle is not only a struggle for Artsakh,the Turks are trying to remove Armenia from the arena and create Turan..On June 12 and on July 4, 1921, a decision was made that Artsakh should be part of Armenia, as 95% of the population were Armenians, but due to the efforts of the Azerbaijani leader Narimanov, on July 5 Artsakh was ceded to Azerbaijan by the Stalin’s decision at the Meeting of the Caucasus Bureau of the Russian Communist (Bolshevik) Party.A Russian Communist Workers’ Party, that is, just a political party organization that had no authority to settle territorial disputes.Therefore, in all respects, handing over Artsakh to Azerbaijan was illegal, but that decision became the cause of the ongoing conflict in Artsakh.The negotiators have forgotten one important fact: on February 24, 1920, the League of Nations had formed a Special Commission to determine the borders of Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan.And the commission had decided to solve the issue of borders according to the national dispersion of the population, and thus Artsakh and Gardmank were given to Armenia. On July 7, 1923, two years after handing over Artsakh to Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan,"giving in" to the protests of the Armenians, 30 founded the NKAO, but on a territory of only 4400 square kilometers, cutting it off from Soviet Armenia and leaving it as an island in part of Azerbaijan. It is not clear on what grounds Azerbaijan demands the handover of our liberated territories, as those territories appeared in its composition on the basis of the decision of 1923, when the NKAO was established on only 4400 sq Km of the huge territory of Artsakh.The Artsakh movement began in 1988, when the Armenians of Artsakh stood up demanding to leave Azerbaijan and join mother Armenia.On August 30, 1991 Azerbaijan declared independence and decided to dissolve the NKAO.Azerbaijan declared that it was restoring the independence of Azerbaijan of 1918-1920.It should be noted that during that time Artsakh did not belong to Azerbaijan in any way.Opposing the decision of Azerbaijan, on September 2, 1991,NKAO was declared the Armenian Republic of Nagorno Karabakh, leaving the USSR according to the USSR Constitution. On May 12, 1994 a ceasefire was signed between Armenia and NKR and Azerbaijan.All the three documents mentioned the "return" of the so-called “occupied" territories.the 6 points were as follows:1.handing over the liberated territories surrounding the former NKAO to Azerbaijan, 2.granting an interim status for Nagorno-Karabakh, 3.a corridor connecting the Republic of Armenia to Nagorno-Karabakh, 4.further defining the final legal status of Nagorno-Karabakh through a referendum 5.The right to return to their former places of residence for internally displaced persons and refugees 6.Deployment of peacekeepers.These agreements were beneficial for Azerbaijan, as based on them it turns out we had agreed to hand over the liberated territories and leave Artsakh to Azerbaijan as an island within the borders of the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast. After the implementation of the very first point, the further points were endangered. If the liberated territories of Artsakh were handed over, the borders would be closer to the settlements,a few shots in the direction of the villages would be enough for people to take their families and leave the border villages.Syunik too would become and it actually became surrounded by Nakhichevan and Azerbaijan.
