En Today in history: Turkmenchay Peace Agreement - February 10, 1828
At the end of the 18th century, the Gajars, an Azerbaijani-Turkish dynasty (1796-1925), came to power in Iran and began a policy of re-subordinating all territories under Safavid rule, including the Azerbaijani khanates and sultanates, to the central government. Thus began a period of war between the Gajars and the Russian Empire, which was trying to occupy the South Caucasus, including Azerbaijan. As a result, an agreement was signed near the village of Turkmenchay. According to the Agreement of Turkmenchay (1828), the existence of independent Azerbaijani states – khanates and sultanates was terminated. The country was divided between two empires: northern Azerbaijan (Northern Azerbaijan) joined Russia, and southern (Southern Azerbaijan) joined the Iranian kingdom ruled by the Azerbaijani-Turkish origin Gajar dynasty. Wanting to move further east, Russia relied on the Christian population in the South Caucasus, pursuing a policy of forcible Christianization of the Muslim population and the mass relocation of the Christian population from Russia to the Caucasus. Armenians were relocated en masse from neighboring countries to the mountainous regions of occupied Karabakh in the name of the Christian population, as well as to the territory of the former Iravan and Nakhchivan khanates. Theere was established “Armenian province” in Western Azerbaijan – in the territory of the former Yerevan and Nakhchivan khanates. Thus, the foundation of the future Armenian state was laid in the territory of Azerbaijan. Thus, conditions were created for new territorial claims of Armenians against Azerbaijanis. The royal regime of Iran pursued a similar policy in the southern lands of Azerbaijan. Thus, with the Turkmenchay Agreement, the unified state of Azerbaijan was divided between the two empires and the foundation for future disasters was laid.

Khudaferin bridges
Khudaferin bridges are located in the Jabrayil region and considered one of the most majestic and famous bridges in the Middle East. They are one of the unique monuments of the history and culture of Azerbaijan.
In 1027, by order of Fazl ibn Muhammad, the head of the Shaddadid state with the capital in Ganja were constructed 11 arched bridges on the Araz River, which connected North and South Azerbaijan, then in the 13th century there were built 15-arched Khudaferin bridges.
The Khudaferin bridges located in the Jabrayil region, which was occupied by the Armenian armed forces in 1993, were returned to their owners exactly 27 years later thanks to our victorious army, which achieved brilliant victories in the Second Karabakh War. Thus, October 18, 2020 is another day of glory for our history.
Today in history
On February 6, 1905, massacres of the Muslim population by the Armenian-Dashnak armed groups began in Baku. Clashes provoked by Tsarist Russia’s ruling circles to divert attention from the wave of revolutions in the country lasted until February 9, when Armenian armed groups killed more than a thousand Muslim Turks. A martial law was declared in Baku for some time, but the attacks of the Armenian armed forces against the Muslim population continued intermittently (until 1907).
Initial deportation of Azerbaijanis. (1801-1807)
The first period of exile of Azerbaijani Turks from Western Azerbaijan – the territory of present-day Armenia – began in 1801 with the annexation of Eastern Georgia by Russia and the subsequent capture of Shamshadil and Loru-Pambak regions by the Russians.
On July 13, 1801, Major-General Lazerev sent a report to the commander of the Caucasian troops, Knorring, stating that about 5,000 to 6,000 Turks from 14 villages in Pambak province had left the region and taken refuge in the territory of the Iravan Khanate. Later, some Turks of Pambak province revolted because they did not want to submit to Russia, and in July 1804, under the auspices of Pambak beys Rahim bey and Said bey, they fled the region and took refuge in Kars pasha. Prince Sisianov repeatedly appealed to Kars Pasha Mammad Pasha to return them.
In the spring of 1804, 2,000 Armenians secretly fled from the territory of the Iravan Khanate,came under the protection of the Russians and settled in the Loru-Pembek region. That same year, Russian troops entered Shorayel. On October 20, 1805, Shorayel Sultan Budag and Prince Sisianov signed a document in Ganja on Shorayel’s permanent subordination to Russia. After that, the period of exile of the Turks living in the area began. Part of the population of Garagapagh branch of Shorayel villageg left their lands as a result of the Russo-Turkish war of 1807 and found refuge in the territories of Iravan khanate and Kars pashalyk…

Today in history January 27 is the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Every year, January 27 is celebrated as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The Holocaust was a genocide of millions of European Jews during World War II (1939-1945) only because of their ethnicity . The massacre of Jews was organized by Adolf Hitler, the leader of the German Nazi Party. The German National Socialist Workers’ Party (ANSFP) has organised a number of uprisings since November 1938. The most violent uprising was the “Crystal Night” on November 9-10. Hundreds of years of synagogues, Jewish shops, homes, and other property were burned, 400 Jews killed, and others tortured. Over the next few days, 36,000 Jews were relocated to special camps. More than a million Jews were killed in the gas chambers of the Auschwitz concentration camp only in Nazi-occupied Poland . In all, 7 out of 10 Jews in Europe were killed in the tragedy. The events of the genocide are a universal crime and have turned against humanity. Various commemorative events are held in our country every year to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust.
Armenian ancestry and resettlement to the Caucasus in the works of Armenian authors (quotes)
● If there were not the famous “Turkmenchay Contract” of 1828, Griboedov and Abovyan, as well as Russian soldiers, there would not be hundreds of newly created Armenian centers, which have turned into modern villages and cities today.B. Ishkhanyan. “Peoples of the Caucasus,” Petrograd. 1916, page 18.
● Just In the last decade (60s and 70s), more than 200,000 Armenians moved to their homeland.
Zori Balayan. “Hearth”, pp. 120, 192,273.
● Historian Karakashyan, who was interested in the past of Armenians, wrote, “There is no information about the past of Armenians that could be considered history or annals.”
Karakashyan. “History of the Eastern Question.” London, 1905.
● Armenian writer and scientist Nalbandian also confirmed, “The Armenian people settled in the territories located in the upper Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The indigenous inhabitants of these places (Hittites, Hurrites, Urarts) were highly developed peoples.
Nalbandian V.S. “Armenian Literature.” M., 1976. p. 7
● Armenian scientist Manuk Abeкyan further developed this idea and came to the following conclusion about the hazy past of Armenians: “What is the origin of the Armenian people, how and when, where and in what ways they got to these places, with which tribes they were associated before and after they became Armenians, what influenced their language and ethnic composition?” We do not have credible and accurate evidence to support these claims. “
