What was the purpose of the Treaty of Turkmenchay? The Treaty of Turkmenchay is considered one of the most devastating treaties of the 19th century. This is because, under this treaty, historical Azerbaijani lands were divided between Russia and Iran. One of the key conditions of the treaty was the resettlement of Armenians to Azerbaijani lands, specifically Iravan, Garabagh, and Nakhchivan. The main proponent of including this clause was Alexander Griboyedov, the then-Russian ambassador to Iran.

All historical sources indicate that present-day Armenia was once part of the Christianization policies implemented by Tsarist Russia in the region. As a result of these policies, there was prolonged ethnic cleansing and genocides committed against Azerbaijanis.

By Fatime LetifovaIt was an unexpected event that the 30-year Garabagh conflict would end in 2020 and 2023 with counter-offensive operations by the Azerbaijani army. During this period, the Azerbaijani leadership took maximum humane measures in response to every Armenian provocation without going beyond self-defence. The ceasefire violations that periodically occurred along the borders continued until the Second Garabagh War in 2020, particularly targeting the civilian Azerbaijani population.
