Was there a Great Armenia?

Was there a Great Armenia?

 

    As you know, Armenia lays claim to vast territories located in neighboring and not only neighboring countries, as evidenced by the map of “Great Armenia” presented by Armenian historians.

 

         

 

      Judging by the map drawn by them, it seems to me, the state of Armenia occupied a rather vast territory of the Middle East, washed by four seas: the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean (Persian Gulf). But bad luck, the stories are known for Egyptian navigators, Phoenician, Greek, Persian, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Khazar (the population living on the shores of the Caspian calls it the Khazar Sea), Turkish sailors, however, there is not a single evidence or mention of those sailing on those seas ships of "Great Armenia from sea to sea", yes, yes, exactly from sea to sea, and not otherwise, that's how historians call Armenia today. And it must be considered a big omission of the Armenian historians who did not bother to find the sunken ancient Armenian ships in those seas. True, according to rumors, Noah's Ark is located on Mount Ararat, which the Armenians consider theirs, from which one can conclude that this is the very missing historical fact testifying to the sailors of Great Armenia, the first of which, presumably, was the Armenian Noah.

   Well, it can be hypothesized that the Armenian people have a certain syndrome like an allergy to sea water, but even more surprising is another historical fact, namely wars. The fact is that all great empires, and such, if we take into account the map drawn by Armenian historians, was Great Armenia, did not do without wars. Stories are known for the wars of Ancient Egypt with Assyria, the Persian Empire with the Greeks, Alexander the Great founded a vast empire fighting the empire of the Persian king Darius. Continuous wars within the Middle East were fought by the Great Roman Empire, and then the Byzantine Empire, again with the Persians. The Baghdad Caliphate is known, which was supplanted by the empire of Genghis Khan, and then finally fell under the onslaught of Timur. Finally, the Ottoman Empire, which fought in this region with Timur and subsequently with another Turkic Safavid empire (Kyzylbash Empire). And somehow it so happened that none of the named empires had a chance to fight “Great Armenia from sea to sea”. It is difficult to imagine that somewhere between the named empires, which are always at war with each other, there was at least some small, and even an independent state, and not that Great Armenia. Armenian historians clearly still have to make many "historical discoveries" in order to fill this gap in world history.

     It should be noted that the Armenians in the Persian Empire suffered greatly during the Roman-Persian wars, because the area in which they lived was located on the border between the two empires and passed from hand to hand. In view of the fact that the Armenians often supported one or the other side of the rival powers, the Romans overpowered the Armenians deep into the empire into Cilicia. And today Armenian historians believe that this territory has always historically been part of Great Armenia.

  But even if he agrees with Armenian historians about Great Armenia, which, again judging by the presented map, had in the distant past the status of nothing other than an empire, then this cannot be a reason for its reconstruction. It seems that Armenian historians are going to fight in the depths of centuries in order to recreate the "Great Armenia". That way, Macedonia may demand the re-establishment of the empire of Alexander the Great, and with much greater grounds, relying on indisputable historical facts, or Mongolia will be tempted to return the empire of Genghis Khan.

 

      There are peoples who have never had a state education, for example, the Gypsies. It is hardly possible to name a state on the Eurasian continent, where the gypsy people do not live. It is also difficult to name a state in the Middle East where the Armenians do not live, and not dispersed, but forming compact centers. This feature is well traced in our time. For example, in Crimea, the Armenian population has been known for a long time, recently an Armenian diaspora has formed in the Kuban, where it is already difficult to determine who is more numerous than the Kuban Cossacks or the Armenians who settled there. Many Armenians currently live in the resort towns of the North Caucasus. An interesting and many-speaking fact - at the time of the conquest of Georgia by Russia, 60% of the population of Tbilisi were Armenians. Maybe that's why Armenia today has territorial claims to Georgia as well. In the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku, a whole region where the Armenian population lived compactly was called Armenikend. Another interesting historical fact is that when the Russians conquered the Irvan Khanate of Azerbaijan in the city of the same name, Yerevan, in addition to Azerbaijanis, 5% of Armenians and Kurds lived each. The same demographic situation was in the capital of the Karabakh Khanate, Shusha. There is a large Armenian diaspora in Moscow, Paris, and more recently in America, mainly in California and Argentina. Unlike the Gypsies, the Armenians tend to build churches, which exist or are still preserved in those places where the Armenians founded the diaspora. Taking into account the given reliable data, Armenian historians can significantly expand the borders of Greater Armenia, now from ocean to ocean.

    

    Thanks to the Russian Empire, which, in order to gain a foothold in the Caucasus, began to populate the territory of the former Irvan Khanate with Armenians from all over the Middle East, having previously evicted the Turkic population, later already under Soviet rule, the Republic of Armenia was formed. The Armenians were not content with the expulsion of the Azerbaijanis, they purposefully destroyed the historical traces of their stay on the land allocated for the Republic of Armenia. They left no trace of the Shah's complex in the center of Yerevan, barbarously destroying a beautiful palace, an example of oriental architecture.

  

     Today, in the center of Yerevan, on the site of a former palace, a monument to Dashnak Geregin Nzhdeh (Ter-Harutyunyan) has been erected, who proposed to Hitler to create an Armenian state with the help of Germany as a province of the Third Reich. For this purpose, the Armenian Legion was formed in the Wehrmacht, which conducted punitive raids in the fight against partisans. For cooperation with the Nazis, Geregin Ter-Harutyunyan in the Soviet Union was sentenced to life imprisonment. However, from now on, on Victory Day, the "Immortal Regiment" passes in front of the monument to the fascist Geregin Nzhdeh, as a mockery of the memory of the soldiers who fought against the Nazis. (1) The circle is closed, fascist ideology is immortal! This has never happened before. Armenian Dashnaks sensed the spirit of fascism emanating from the Kremlin. As confirmation - the silence of Putin.

     

                                                               

   The circumstance of deportation of Azerbaijanis also took place during the Soviet era. It should be noted that with Moscow's encouragement, the squeezing out of the local Azerbaijani population was accompanied by the seizure of territory in favor of Armenia.

 

 

    So, Moscow handed over Zangezur to Armenia. This territory of 4500 sq. Km, renamed by the Armenians to the Syunik region, after which Azerbaijan lost the continuity of its territory, for the Nakhichevan region was separated from Azerbaijan. As a result of this policy of Moscow, Armenia became the most mono-national republic in the Soviet Union.

 

   The fact that Armenia is an artificial state formation is evidenced by the fact that Armenians living in other countries do not seek to settle in Armenia, moreover, for a good life, Armenians leave their artificial homeland, as well as the territory of occupied Karabakh. It is noteworthy that, if during the first Karabakh war, the Azerbaijani population of Armenia fled to Azerbaijan, then the Armenians left Azerbaijan anywhere, but not to Armenia.

 

     Russia is at the origins of the appearance in Tbilisi in 1890, long before the German Nazis of the world's first Nazi party "Dashnaktsutyun", which set the goal, through ethnic cleansing and terror, to create a chimerical Armenian state on the territory of Turkey. Russia's support for this political monster during the First World War resulted in the tragedy of both the Armenians themselves living in Turkey and the Turks who were subjected to ethnic cleansing. An attempt by the Dashnaks, the real perpetrators of this tragedy, to blame the Turkish authorities failed at a trial organized by the British occupation authorities in Malta on a tip from the Armenians in 1920. After a long trial, the court did not find the fault of the Turkish government in this tragedy and acquitted all those arrested (2). Interestingly, after the Maltese court, the Armenians no longer attempted to appeal to the courts (3), but decided to put the entire Turkish people against the wall through propaganda, sowing lies all over the world about the Armenian genocide and the never-existed “Great Armenia” (4).

 

   After the collapse of the USSR, Armenia remained the only strategic ally of Putin's Russia, which, like a chain dog, is ready, on the go-ahead from Moscow, to continue the begun weaning of lands for Great Armenia.

About the very, very, very... people

 

Alik Bakhshi

 

About the very, very, very... people

 

I hope you've already guessed which people we're talking about, the ones who consider themselves the most ancient, the most cultured, the most intelligent.

 

In short, if you find yourself in Armenia, don't be surprised to learn that much of everything you know about human activity was first invented, made, created, built, written, or baked by Armenians. Moreover, it may well turn out that you, if you represent a people who have made a significant contribution to the development of civilization, such as the English, are ten generations Armenian. I've never encountered anything like this in my travels to various countries. Vasily Grosman very accurately noted this fact:

 

"With insidious ease, a people's nationalism loses its noble foundation; it doesn't become formidable, it becomes pitiful; it doesn't provoke, but humiliates. Thus, by striving to prove some kind of inferiority, a person reveals his own. Some of my interlocutors, across all areas of human creativity, emphasized the Armenian national preeminence in architecture, science, and poetry. They emphasized the superiority of the architectural merits of the temple in Garni over what they considered primitive architecture on the Acropolis; speaking of the poet Tumanyan, they insistently asserted that Tumanyan's genius surpassed that of Pushkin. The point, of course, isn't whether Garni's architecture isn't more perfect than that of the Acropolis, or whether Tumanyan is a greater genius than Pushkin. The point, and the point is certainly sad, is that poetry, architecture, science, and history themselves, in their essence, cease to be significant in the conversations of some of my interlocutors. They exist only to demonstrate the superiority of the Armenian national character over the national character of other peoples. Poetry isn't important; what matters is simply proving that an Armenian national poet is superior to, say, a Russian or French poet. My interlocutors, without even realizing it, impoverished their souls and hearts by ceasing to rejoice in poetry, the perfection of architecture, and the grandeur of science, instead seeing poetry and science merely as a means to assert their national superiority. This aspiration can be so fanatical and narrow that at times it seems like madness."

 

("Znamya," no. 11, 1988)

 

It's hard to suspect Grosman of anti-Armenian sentiment, but it seems to me that many would agree with his opinion. Perhaps this attitude toward foreigners and their culture is also the reason for Armenia's exceptionally mono-ethnic nature. Once at school, the physical education teacher, lining us up, commanded "two steps forward," and drew our attention to the fact that the shortest person in the line had leaped the furthest; a case of the short stature syndrome, so to speak. No people, other than the Armenians, indulge in such an excessive, literally morbid, level of self-aggrandizement aimed at proving their national superiority, which inevitably evokes disgust, and Vasily Grosman was right in his observations.

 

It should be noted that Grosman is not the only authority to describe this situation. The renowned 19th-century Georgian poet and publicist Ilia Chavchavadze wrote about how Armenians insulted and humiliated Georgia and the Georgian people ("Armenian Scholars and Crying Stones"):

 

"There is hardly a people on earth that has been so insultingly humiliated, defamed by everyone who has taken the trouble to do so, as ours. Everyone is trying to either step over us, trample us, and raze us to the ground. They practically want to destroy the memory of us in Transcaucasia, to wipe the name of the Georgian from the face of the earth and abandon us to the whims of the winds." As if we never existed, as if we don't exist today. Poor in spirit, feeble-minded, morally fallen, stupid, uneducated, ill-mannered, utterly ruined, unreliable, cowards—that's the picture of our moral and physical baggage! This is what we were and what we are, according to those whose interests demand such disgrace and humiliation. They bend over backwards to convince everyone and everything, at home and abroad, in words and in print, that we were worthless and unworthy and remain so, if not worse. With this brand upon their brows, they spread the name of Georgian throughout Europe, wherever only their voice and pen could reach. They spread the same kind of fame about us Georgians throughout Russia. True, every Russian or European who had personally had the chance to become familiar with our good and bad sides said something in our favor—but, unfortunately, even among them, many of their opinions were based on the desires of others, dancing to someone else's tune and falling into someone else's trap. God bless them, with their efforts to disgrace us! But the fact is that they swear to the whole world, with word and pen, that from time immemorial, on this side of the Caucasus Mountains, to the sources of the Tigris and Euphrates, almost from the Black and Caspian Seas, there was a so-called Armenia."

 

Here is a map of "Greater Armenia," as presented by the Armenians, which also includes Babylon, Damascus, Persia with its capital, Azerbaijan, and Israel:

 

 

 

 

Incidentally, the main goal of the Nazi Dashnaktsutyun party, formed in Tbilisi in 1890, was the creation of a "Greater Armenia" (1,2) through ethnic cleansing and terrorizing the predominantly Turkic and Kurdish populations of the Middle East. This was subsequently carried out in Turkey and Azerbaijan during World War I, as well as in 1916-1918, and was repeated again in Karabakh. (3,4) The German Nazis, considering Germans a superior race, surprisingly copied the Armenians. Thus, the racist approach towards the Georgian people (Vratsi, the Armenian term for Georgians) on the part of Armenians was surprisingly accurately described by Chavchavadze:

"These Vratsi, as a people, do not deserve to be mentioned, since they are on the path to destruction and degeneration. And even if this were not so, they are not intelligent enough to understand their situation. God did not give them the ability to trade: they are good for nothing except cabbies and chavdars, and can't even use the few places for barns that, ridiculously, they call Georgia. And how can they use them when they have neither the skill, nor the diligence, nor the education, nor the knowledge, nor the desire, nor the willingness to learn and learn—well, at least from those same Armenians, who, they say, are called by God and history, with the banner of culture in hand, to revive and bring happiness not only to the Middle East, but also to distant, wild, and ignorant Asia.

"Not content with dishonoring our name and depriving us of our national dignity, in order to finally wipe us out, they abolish our entire history, our chronicles, our historical remnants and monuments, all our blood-stained services to Christianity, and all our historical heritage, all our own, through various tricks, they claim for themselves. True, 'lies have short legs,' and by taking away or diminishing the virtues of others, you cannot increase your own, but 'the slave of his own desires is hard of hearing and quick of tongue,' as the Georgian proverb goes."

 

Everything Chavchavadze wrote about the attitude of Armenian pseudo-historians toward Georgians is also repeated in the case of Azerbaijan.

 

Chavchavadze unwittingly predicted the situation that occurred a century later in Azerbaijan. The Russians, who settled Armenians from the Middle East on Azerbaijani lands after deporting the Azerbaijanis, created a situation that led to the Karabakh War:

 

According to Chavchavadze, Armenians "are settling where they have never lived. Isn't it clear that with this superficial scholarship they want to convince the world that they have a historical right to occupy these places..."

This situation is identical to the one taking place in Karabakh.

 

From Chavchavadze's text, it is clear that even in his time, Armenian propaganda in Europe was spreading the same lies about the Georgian people as it does about the Azerbaijanis today. Human consciousness is such that the first information is perceived as truth, and the Armenians take advantage of this, rushing to be the first to convey falsehoods to the ignorant, and in this they have succeeded magnificently. Settling across the world, leaving Armenia in search of a better life, they blame neighboring peoples, finding this justification both for their emigration and for calling for aid to create a Greater Armenia for the poor, exiled Armenians at the expense of neighboring peoples. Interestingly, while the Azerbaijanis expelled from Armenia found refuge in Azerbaijan, the Armenians expelled from Azerbaijan, in response, found themselves everywhere but in Armenia, spreading lies throughout the world about Azerbaijanis as barbarians and villains.

"Their boldness and insolence increase day by day; they begin to praise themselves more and more boldly and treat us with ever greater insolence." Nowhere is their once-and-for-all adopted plan of action, their mastered cunning and insidiousness, so clearly outlined as in a single European newspaper, which lists, in order, everything that could serve to exalt and glorify Armenians and destroy Georgians, apparently instilled by these learned scholars. "Here, these gentlemen are no longer shy or squeamish. They openly and openly employ such tricks and means, the mere thought of which should bring a blush to the face of any person, be they Armenian or anyone else," -  wrote Chavchavadze.

 

Well, fine, let them talk; after all, every people has its own national mentality that distinguishes it from others. However, this circumstance is not as harmless as it seems at first glance. The fact is, such conceit has had quite tragic consequences. Thus, the historical research of Armenian scholars, proving the superiority of Armenians over neighboring peoples, serves to substantiate territorial claims. Wikipedia is filled with false stories (namely, stories of Armenian pseudo-historians) about the Armenian people as the most ancient on earth, and they bypass the well-known historical fact that the Armenians came to Asia Minor from Thrace, moving to Phrygia, and then settled in Urartu, and today they present Urartu as an ancient Armenian state.

 

There are countless similar historical fabrications about Armenia. For example, in Wikipedia, regarding the Treaty of Turkmanchay, an Armenian pseudo-historian writes: "According to the Treaty of Turkmanchay, the territories of Eastern Armenia—the Erivan and Nakhichevan Khanates—were ceded to Russia." In fact, the actual text of the Treaty of Turkmanchay between Russia and Persia of February 10, 1828, contains not a single word about Eastern Armenia:

Article III

His Majesty the Shah of Persia, in his own name and on behalf of his heirs and successors, cedes to the Russian Empire both the Erivan Khanate on this and the other side of the Araks River, and the Nakhichevan Khanate, in full possession. As a consequence of this cession, His Majesty the Shah promises, no later than six months from the signing of this treaty, to surrender to the Russian authorities all archives and public documents relating to the administration of both aforementioned Khanates. (Treaty of Turkmenchay (msu.ru) ) (5)

 

Hence the conclusion: if you want to know the truth about Armenia, don't look for it in the accounts of Armenian historians.

Russia plus Putin is absolute Evil

 

Alik Bakhshi

Russia plus Putin is absolute Evil

 

 

Today, finally, in the West, few doubt that Putin is a murderer and a liar. As soon as Putin opens his mouth, a stream of lies pours out. Once, in the media, I asked myself a simple question: "I would be grateful if someone could give me at least one example of Putin telling the truth?" My question remained unanswered. Yes, there are lying people, including presidents like Putin, but what is more important here is the fact that the Russian people as a whole do not see anything reprehensible in this. Russians have lived in lies since the days of Communism and have probably become so accustomed to it that they cannot imagine any other life.

In this regard, I would like to note a unique feature of the Russian people, namely, their acceptability of lies. (1) In the consciousness of a Russian, truth and lies coexist perfectly well without causing any harm. Once, during the Soviet Union, a Swedish woman, who was doing an internship at Moscow State University, told a group of students about her important discovery, as she imagined it: “In your country, everyone says one thing and thinks another.” This state of ambiguity, so familiar to our consciousness, puzzled her. She, who grew up in a free society, could not understand how it could happen that everyone had the same opinion on any issue. What seemed self-evident to us, accustomed to universal lies, seemed unnatural to her, and perhaps even herd savagery, which she, of course, kept silent about. From this it is clear with what ease the lies of the Russian president, which correspond to the imperial worldview of the people, are instantly accepted by the consciousness of every Russian without hesitation, regardless of what country he lives in. The latter says that even changed circumstances are not able to change the imperial worldview of the Russian people. In my opinion, Russian society, accustomed to Lies during the existence of the Soviet Union, plus the pathological inability of the Russian people to live in a democracy (2), combined with its imperial worldview, is in itself a kind of embodiment of Universal Evil, posing a threat to the World. And it is not about Putin, Putin serves only as a successful conductor, organizer of the outburst of this Evil. Thus, to the generally accepted, well-known definition of Russia as the "Empire of Evil" we can equally add "Empire of Lies", because "lies" and "evil" are accompanying concepts and do not exist without each other. How can one not recall the famous expression of Victor Hugo "Lies are the embodiment of Evil".

Thus, Russia's aggression against Ukraine was accompanied by a massive injection of an incredible amount of disinformation and outright lies by the Russian media from the Kremlin and personally by President Putin - the main, I would say, unsurpassed liar of Russia today. There is no point in citing the long track record of lies of the Russian president, because every word he says is a lie. Probably, after the way Putin treated Ukraine, it is difficult to find a diplomat who would take on the responsibility of negotiating with Putin. Lies are inseparable from Evil just as the Russian people are inseparable from Putin. In vain do the West still console themselves with the hope that once Putin loses power, Russia will change. Russia will change only in one case, when it disappears as an empire and returns to its original borders of Muscovy, having given up control over other peoples of the disintegrated empire.

 

All modern technologies used in Russia are a product of the West, and, having lost the ability to scratch, as Putin said, boasting of his penchant for theft, the Evil Empire will stop developing. The traditional Russian system of power, focused on one person, as well as the absence of democracy, excludes freedom in all areas of human creativity, without which progress is impossible. I have already said that the Russian people and democracy are nonsense (3). The Constitution, which after multiple changes has become the guarantor of Putin's permanent power, the tame parliament, uncontested elections, freedom of speech and other attributes of democracy, are a pure illusion and sham for the West, which has long tried to convince itself of the rebirth of the Evil Empire. Yes, under Putin the empire has been reborn in some way, acquiring yet another image as the Empire of Lies. And this is not just about Putin, but about the mentality of the Russian people with their imperial worldview, a people who welcome "Crimea is ours", delightedly perceiving the militaristic frenzy that spews out of the idiot box around the clock, with a hidden dream of restoring the empire within its former borders (4).

 

The characteristic features of fascist ideology are the unlimited will of the state (the Soviet Union) and Nazism. In Germany, Nazism took the form of racism. Both countries took revenge to restore the former Roman and German empires. The venture ended in failure. The sad end of the organizers of fascism is known: Hitler shot himself, and Mussolini was shamefully hanged upside down by his people. It would seem that such historical experience should have been enough to avoid future mistakes, however ... .

 

However, in Europe, the shadow of Hitler has loomed again in the form of Russian President Putin, who regrets the collapse of the Soviet empire and has decided to revive it within its former borders. The Russian Fuhrer is one-to-one copying all of Hitler's revanchist methods that led to the beginning of World War II (5). It should be noted that Hitler, who had to go through a difficult path of political struggle, find like-minded people, and create a party before leading the German people, while Putin, unlike his predecessor, did not have much trouble enlisting the support of the Russian population to achieve his revanchist goals. The Great Russian chauvinism that Stalin pointed out has not gone away. Putin did not need a party, his party was the Russian people, who enthusiastically accepted the aggressive actions to restore the empire, starting with the cry of "strangle the vermin" (Chechnya) and the subsequent wars with Georgia and Ukraine, and the annexation of part of their territories. Having destroyed all the rudiments of Yeltsin's democracy, from which the people spat blood, Putin returned to totalitarianism as the most acceptable system for a people with an imperial worldview. The Russian people saw in Putin a leader capable of returning the empire to its former greatness. The propaganda of military patriotism, the Victory madness in the form of pompous military parades, the militarization of the country and the annexation of foreign territories testify to the maturity of fascism established in Russia.

 

It would seem that the Russian people have everything they need for a comfortable existence, live, work, increase their well-being, rejoice in their achievements. But no, the people of Russia do not need well-being, the people need to seize, rob, no matter what country, just to satisfy their imperial worldview. For a Russian, there is no greater joy than to conquer another people by war. Peaceful coexistence with neighbors does not bring any benefit to Russia. Russians are ready for any consequences of war, including nuclear war. The philosopher I.A. spoke very accurately about his Russian people. Ilyin: "This nation has been wallowing in shit throughout its history and at the same time wants to drown the entire world in it..." As if to confirm Ilyin's rightness, I will quote Putin's words: "Why do we need the world if there is no Russia in it?" The aggressive actions of Putin's Russia have brought Western politicians, scratching their heads, back to reality. They certainly haven't read Krylov's fables "The Wolf and the Lamb", but I hope they know that calling on the wolf for justice is a hopeless business. Maybe they will finally realize that "friend Putin", who loudly declared his regret at the collapse of the USSR and compared what happened to a global catastrophe, intends to recreate the Soviet Union and is not much different from Hitler, who set out to build a "great Reich". I would like to note that Putin's intentions even have an advantage over Hitler's, because unlike Hitler, Putin relies on the imperial worldview and Great Russian chauvinism present in the people. Putin does not need to build a party, create an ideology, it is enough to throw out a cry "we'll wipe out Chechnya" or "give us Crimea" and he is provided with the support and full understanding of the Russian people. It is simply amazing with what unanimity the people accepted and supported Putin's lie about the non-involvement of Russian troops, the so-called "little green men", without identification marks, in the annexation of Crimea. This is exactly the case when, in the words of Fazil Iskander, "the general stench is taken for the unanimity of the people." In conclusion, I would like to say that the reason for Russia's constant aggressiveness lies not in the regime or in the ideology, but in the mentality of the Russian people, which is a hereditary component, coupled with the imperial worldview. In the post-Soviet space, all countries have abandoned communist ideology and, with the exception of the Baltic states, are in approximately the same position in terms of democracy, but only Russia remains, as before, a country that poses a threat.

Defending Nakhichevan as the First Step in Consolidating the Turks

Defending Nakhichevan as the First Step

in Consolidating the Turks

 

Today, the main source of danger in the Caucasus, and perhaps for all countries in the Caspian region, is the military-strategic alliance between Moscow and Yerevan, with the easily decipherable Moscow-Tehran axis.

Moscow is deliberately keeping the Karabakh conflict simmering, so that at the right moment it can give Yerevan, long-awaited, the go-ahead to resume military action in order to prevent the supply of Caspian Basin hydrocarbons to Europe. Implementing any project like Nabucco, bypassing Russia, undermines its monopoly in this area and will inevitably lead to the decline of its economy, which in turn will lead the Russian Empire, with its Turkic-speaking underbelly, to a second, and perhaps final, stage of disintegration. It's safe to assume that the capture of Nakhichevan is the first of the Armenian Nazis' planned objectives in Yerevan's aggressive plans to create a chimerical "Greater Armenia from Sea to Sea." Surrounded by enemies—Russia-backed Armenia to the north and east, and Iran to the south—defending this isolated Azerbaijani territory, should hostilities resume, is problematic, and the likelihood of its capture is quite high. Considering the ethnic cleansing carried out by Armenian fascists in Khojaly and the completely scorched Aghdam, the fate of Nakhichevan's defenders and population is expected to be tragic.

 

In my opinion, the correct solution to prevent such an outcome is to establish joint control of the Nakhichevan region by Azerbaijan and Turkey, taking advantage of the small stretch of their shared border. How great was Atatürk's genius, who insisted on this, albeit short, but obligatory treaty-based common border between Turkey and Azerbaijan during negotiations with Moscow? It seems the time has come to take advantage of this circumstance. However, it should be noted that Moscow subsequently, without violating this treaty, resorted to another trick: it transferred part of Azerbaijani territory, namely the Zangezur region, to Armenia, artificially creating the Autonomous Nakhichevan Republic of Azerbaijan, thus separating the Nakhichevan region from the mainland of Azerbaijan.

 

 

The joint administration of the Nakhichevan enclave by Baku and Ankara guarantees the security of its population and will be the first official step toward the consolidation of the Turkic nation, a guarantee of further successful economic development, as well as the revival of the common Turkic culture, which had suffered under the colonial past.

 

Undoubtedly, such an agreement between Azerbaijan and Turkey, a member of the North Atlantic bloc, will cause sharp discontent in Armenia and Russia as the main opponent of this bloc, but, on the other hand, it will be an adequate and, most importantly, completely legitimate response to the strategic alliance of Russia and Armenia.

Was there a Great Armenia?

 

                                                              Alik Bakhshi

                               Was there a Great Armenia?

 

    As you know, Armenia lays claim to vast territories located in neighboring and not only neighboring countries, as evidenced by the map of “Great Armenia” presented by Armenian historians.

 

 

 

      Judging by the map drawn by them, it seems to me, the state of Armenia occupied a rather vast territory of the Middle East, washed by four seas: the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean (Persian Gulf). But bad luck, the stories are known for Egyptian navigators, Phoenician, Greek, Persian, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Khazar (the population living on the shores of the Caspian calls it the Khazar Sea), Turkish sailors, however, there is not a single evidence or mention of those sailing on those seas ships of "Great Armenia from sea to sea", yes, yes, exactly from sea to sea, and not otherwise, that's how historians call Armenia today. And it must be considered a big omission of the Armenian historians who did not bother to find the sunken ancient Armenian ships in those seas. True, according to rumors, Noah's Ark is located on Mount Ararat, which the Armenians consider theirs, from which one can conclude that this is the very missing historical fact testifying to the sailors of Great Armenia, the first of which, presumably, was the Armenian Noah.

   Well, it can be hypothesized that the Armenian people have a certain syndrome like an allergy to sea water, but even more surprising is another historical fact, namely wars. The fact is that all great empires, and such, if we take into account the map drawn by Armenian historians, was Great Armenia, did not do without wars. Stories are known for the wars of Ancient Egypt with Assyria, the Persian Empire with the Greeks, Alexander the Great founded a vast empire fighting the empire of the Persian king Darius. Continuous wars within the Middle East were fought by the Great Roman Empire, and then the Byzantine Empire, again with the Persians. The Baghdad Caliphate is known, which was supplanted by the empire of Genghis Khan, and then finally fell under the onslaught of Timur. Finally, the Ottoman Empire, which fought in this region with Timur and subsequently with another Turkic Safavid empire (Kyzylbash Empire). And somehow it so happened that none of the named empires had a chance to fight “Great Armenia from sea to sea”. It is difficult to imagine that somewhere between the named empires, which are always at war with each other, there was at least some small, and even an independent state, and not that Great Armenia. Armenian historians clearly still have to make many "historical discoveries" in order to fill this gap in world history.

     It should be noted that the Armenians in the Persian Empire suffered greatly during the Roman-Persian wars, because the area in which they lived was located on the border between the two empires and passed from hand to hand. In view of the fact that the Armenians often supported one or the other side of the rival powers, the Romans overpowered the Armenians deep into the empire into Cilicia. And today Armenian historians believe that this territory has always historically been part of Great Armenia.

  But even if he agrees with Armenian historians about Great Armenia, which, again judging by the presented map, had in the distant past the status of nothing other than an empire, then this cannot be a reason for its reconstruction. It seems that Armenian historians are going to fight in the depths of centuries in order to recreate the "Great Armenia". That way, Macedonia may demand the re-establishment of the empire of Alexander the Great, and with much greater grounds, relying on indisputable historical facts, or Mongolia will be tempted to return the empire of Genghis Khan.

 

      There are peoples who have never had a state education, for example, the Gypsies. It is hardly possible to name a state on the Eurasian continent, where the gypsy people do not live. It is also difficult to name a state in the Middle East where the Armenians do not live, and not dispersed, but forming compact centers. This feature is well traced in our time. For example, in Crimea, the Armenian population has been known for a long time, recently an Armenian diaspora has formed in the Kuban, where it is already difficult to determine who is more numerous than the Kuban Cossacks or the Armenians who settled there. Many Armenians currently live in the resort towns of the North Caucasus. An interesting and many-speaking fact - at the time of the conquest of Georgia by Russia, 60% of the population of Tbilisi were Armenians. Maybe that's why Armenia today has territorial claims to Georgia as well. In the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku, a whole region where the Armenian population lived compactly was called Armenikend. Another interesting historical fact is that when the Russians conquered the Irvan Khanate of Azerbaijan in the city of the same name, Yerevan, in addition to Azerbaijanis, 5% of Armenians and Kurds lived each. The same demographic situation was in the capital of the Karabakh Khanate, Shusha. There is a large Armenian diaspora in Moscow, Paris, and more recently in America, mainly in California and Argentina. Unlike the Gypsies, the Armenians tend to build churches, which exist or are still preserved in those places where the Armenians founded the diaspora. Taking into account the given reliable data, Armenian historians can significantly expand the borders of Greater Armenia, now from ocean to ocean.

    

    Thanks to the Russian Empire, which, in order to gain a foothold in the Caucasus, began to populate the territory of the former Irvan Khanate with Armenians from all over the Middle East, having previously evicted the Turkic population, later already under Soviet rule, the Republic of Armenia was formed. The Armenians were not content with the expulsion of the Azerbaijanis, they purposefully destroyed the historical traces of their stay on the land allocated for the Republic of Armenia. They left no trace of the Shah's complex in the center of Yerevan, barbarously destroying a beautiful palace, an example of oriental architecture.

     Today, in the center of Yerevan, on the site of a former palace, a monument to Dashnak Geregin Nzhdeh (Ter-Harutyunyan) has been erected, who proposed to Hitler to create an Armenian state with the help of Germany as a province of the Third Reich. For this purpose, the Armenian Legion was formed in the Wehrmacht, which conducted punitive raids in the fight against partisans. For cooperation with the Nazis, Geregin Ter-Harutyunyan in the Soviet Union was sentenced to life imprisonment. However, from now on, on Victory Day, the "Immortal Regiment" passes in front of the monument to the fascist Geregin Nzhdeh, as a mockery of the memory of the soldiers who fought against the Nazis. (1) The circle is closed, fascist ideology is immortal! This has never happened before. Armenian Dashnaks sensed the spirit of fascism emanating from the Kremlin. As confirmation - the silence of Putin.

     

                                                               

   The circumstance of deportation of Azerbaijanis also took place during the Soviet era. It should be noted that with Moscow's encouragement, the squeezing out of the local Azerbaijani population was accompanied by the seizure of territory in favor of Armenia.

 

 

    So, Moscow handed over Zangezur to Armenia. This territory of 4500 sq. Km, renamed by the Armenians to the Syunik region, after which Azerbaijan lost the continuity of its territory, for the Nakhichevan region was separated from Azerbaijan. As a result of this policy of Moscow, Armenia became the most mono-national republic in the Soviet Union.

 

   The fact that Armenia is an artificial state formation is evidenced by the fact that Armenians living in other countries do not seek to settle in Armenia, moreover, for a good life, Armenians leave their artificial homeland, as well as the territory of occupied Karabakh. It is noteworthy that, if during the first Karabakh war, the Azerbaijani population of Armenia fled to Azerbaijan, then the Armenians left Azerbaijan anywhere, but not to Armenia.

 

     Russia is at the origins of the appearance in Tbilisi in 1890, long before the German Nazis of the world's first Nazi party "Dashnaktsutyun", which set the goal, through ethnic cleansing and terror, to create a chimerical Armenian state on the territory of Turkey. Russia's support for this political monster during the First World War resulted in the tragedy of both the Armenians themselves living in Turkey and the Turks who were subjected to ethnic cleansing. An attempt by the Dashnaks, the real perpetrators of this tragedy, to blame the Turkish authorities failed at a trial organized by the British occupation authorities in Malta on a tip from the Armenians in 1920. After a long trial, the court did not find the fault of the Turkish government in this tragedy and acquitted all those arrested (2). Interestingly, after the Maltese court, the Armenians no longer attempted to appeal to the courts (3), but decided to put the entire Turkish people against the wall through propaganda, sowing lies all over the world about the Armenian genocide and the never-existed “Great Armenia” (4).

 

   After the collapse of the USSR, Armenia remained the only strategic ally of Putin's Russia, which, like a chain dog, is ready, on the go-ahead from Moscow, to continue the begun weaning of lands for Great Armenia.

Stop lying!

                                                               Alik Bakhshi

                                              Stop lying!

 

     No need to lie! When Russia conquered Transcaucasia, there was no Armenia. There were Azerbaijani khanates that were part of Persia, and one of them was the Karabakh khanate, with the vast majority of Azerbaijanis. By the way, the same composition of the population was in the Erevan Khanate. In the city of Irvan, Armenians and Kurds were 5% each. Here we should dwell separately on how much the Armenians distort history, referring to reliable documents, but at the same time slightly changing their text, which leads to the possibility of misinterpretation and, as a result, to a false conclusion that has nothing to do with the truth. This is especially true for Wikipedia. For example, from Wikipedia (Turkmanchay Peace Treaty - Wikipedia (wikipedia.org)): “Under the Turkmanchay Treaty, the territories of Eastern Armenia, the Erivan and Nakhichevan khanates, departed to Russia.”

    Consider the true text of the Turkmanchay Treaty between Russia and Persia of February 10, 1828:

Article III

His Majesty the Shah of Persia, on his own behalf, and on behalf of his heirs and successors, cedes to the Russian Empire both the perfect property of the Khanate of Erivan on this and that side of the Araks, and the Khanate of Nakhichevan. As a consequence of this concession, His Majesty the Shah promises, no later than six months from the signing of this treaty, to hand over to the Russian Authorities all Archives and public documents relating to the administration of both of the above-mentioned Khanates. (Turkmanchay peace treaty (msu.ru))

 

    The text does not indicate either about Armenia as a state (1), or about the Armenians, who, according to the Armenian version, are allegedly the main population of these khanates. Armenian historians deliberately miss the well-known fact of the settlement of the Erivan and Karabakh khanates by Armenians, which was carried out by Russia in order to have a Christian population in the South Caucasus along the border with Persia and Turkey. At the same time, the Russians forcibly deported the local Muslim population. As a result of this genocide of Azerbaijanis, Soviet Armenia appeared on the territory of the former Erivan Khanate and an autonomous region, the so-called Nagorno-Karabakh, on the territory of the Karabakh Khanate. Thus, the Russians created an artificial enclave in the very center of Azerbaijan with an Armenian population.

 

    Moscow's policy continued in the same direction, and in 1920 the Azerbaijani population was deported from Zangezur, the entire territory of which became part of the Armenian Soviet Republic, and the territory of the Derbent Khanate (Dagestan) was annexed to Russia. As a result of the forcible redrawing of borders by the Kremlin cartographers, Nakhichevan was cut off from the main territory of Azerbaijan, receiving the status of an autonomous republic.

 

 

    This is the truth that Yerevan and Moscow hide. During the 30-year occupation, Armenia blocked the Baku-Nakhichevan railway, part of which passes through the territory of Zangezur transferred to Armenia. After the victory of Azerbaijan in the 44-day war, under the peace treaty signed, Armenia undertook to restore the railway connection between Baku and Nakhichevan, but still does not fulfill this clause of the agreement.

Защита Нахичевани как первый шаг консолидации тюрков

 

Алик Бахши

                                 Защита Нахичевани как первый шаг

консолидации тюрков

 

      На сегодня основным источником опасности на Кавказе и пожалуй для всех стран Каспийского региона является военно-стратегический союз Москвы и Еревана при  легко просчитываемой оси Москва-Тегеран.

     Москва специально поддерживает Карабахский конфликт в тлеющем режиме, чтобы в нужный момент дать отмашку, давно заждавшемуся Еревану, для возобновления военных действий с целью предотвратить поставку углеводородов Каспийского бассейна в Европу, ибо осуществление любого проекта типа «Набукко» в обход России, подрывает её монополию в данной области и вызовет неминуемый упадок её экономики, что в свою очередь приведёт Российскую империю, с её тюркоязычным подбрюшьем, ко второму, и может быть окончательному этапу распада.

      С большой долей уверенности можно предположить, что в агрессивных планах Еревана захват Нахичевани является первой из очередных намеченных целей армянских нацистов в плане создания химерической «Великой Армении от Моря и до Моря». Окруженная врагами, с севера и востока Арменией, поддерживаемой Россией, а с юга Ираном, оборона этой изолированной территории Азербайджана, в случае возобновления военных действий, проблематична и вероятность её захвата весьма велика, а если принять во внимание этническую чистку, проведённую армянскими фашистами в Ходжалах, и полностью спаленном Агдаме, то участь защитников и населения Нахичевани ожидается трагичной.

    

      На мой взгляд, верным решением предотвратить такой исход это ввести совместное обладание Нахичеванской областью Азербайджаном и Турцией, воспользовавшись фактом небольшого участка общей между ними границы. Насколько всё же велик гений Ататюрка, настоявшего, в своё время в переговорах с Москвой об этой, хоть и небольшой по протяженности, но обязательной по заключенному договору, общей границы Турции с Азербайджаном и кажется, настало время воспользоваться этим обстоятельством. Правда здесь надо заметить, что впоследствии, не нарушая этот договор, Москва пошла на другой трюк, -  передала часть территории Азербайджана, а именно Зангезурский район Армении, искусственно создав Автономную Нахичеванскую республику Азербайджана, и отдела, таким образом, Нахичеванскую область, от основной территории Азербайджана.

                                                                       

     Совместное управление территории Нахичеванского анклава Баку и Анкарой гарантирует безопасность его населения и явится первым официальным шагом на пути консолидации тюркской нации, залогом благополучного дальнейшего развития в плане экономики, а также возрождения общей для тюрков культуры, пострадавшей в условиях колониального прошлого.

 

     Несомненно, подобное соглашение между Азербайджаном и Турцией членом Североатлантического блока вызовет резкое недовольство Армении и России как основного противника данного блока , но, с другой стороны, оно явится адекватным и главное вполне правомерным ответом на стратегический союз России и Армении.
