From the pen of our historians: a look at the genocides committed by the Armenian Dashnaks against the Azerbaijanis in 1918 #genocid

Vagif Abishov – “If the Armenians, who dreamed of creating a ‘Great Armenia’, played a key role in the March 31 genocide against Azerbaijanis, as well as the Turks, the Soviet power of that time was behind this great game.” The Soviet government used Stepan Shaumyan to establish its branch in Baku. Shaumyan worked hard to realize Russia’s intention, as well as to create a great Armenian state. Shaumyan’s popularity in Baku, as well as in the regions, was zero. From this point of view, he was waiting for an opportunity to strengthen his position in Baku until 1920. Although it has repeatedly committed large and small provocations over the years, it has failed to achieve a serious goal. “Shaumyan’s first provocation against Azerbaijanis was the arrest of Talishinsky, the chief of staff of the Azerbaijani Tatar cavalry regiment, together with his staff when he arrived at the Baku station, which caused great discontent in the society at that time. Disarmament eventually led to clashes. Shaumyan, who had been making serious preparations for a long time, had already deployed a group of Armenian soldiers from Iran, the South Caucasus, and Turkey to Baku to fight the Turks. Bloody massacres were committed against Azerbaijanis during the day. “It should be noted that during the March genocide, the historical documents collected by the Extraordinary Investigation Commission established in Baku Province on June 15, 1918, contained legal documents in 36 volumes of 3,500 pages. It contains a list of people killed and a report on the material damage to the population and the country. In recent days, the Institute of History of the National Academy of Sciences has been conducting special research on historical documents imported from Moscow, England and France in order to reveal historical facts.
