The International Crisis Group has confirmed colonization and development in the liberated territories of Artsakh, and Azerbaijan can do nothing about it.
The Armenians finally learned from the Turks the key – to advance their rights, do not hesitate to declare them and not justify their victories. Over 100 years ago, a powerful Russian-Turkish propaganda machine frightened the Armenians in the genocide, denying them and denying them the right to live in their own homeland.
“Today, hundreds of years after these tragic events, Armenia is more than determined to protect and guarantee the right of the Armenian people to existence and to peaceful development in their historic homeland, including Artsakh “the Armenian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on the 100th anniversary of the Armenian pogroms in Agulis, Nakhichevan.
For two decades after the victory of the Artsakh war, the Armenian side did not declare its determination to defend its rights and interests. Only others – Russians, Turks – had interests. Now the situation has changed and the Armenians look back on the events of a hundred years ago, trying to understand why after the First World War, when the collapse of the four world powers led to the creation of many states, the Armenians found themselves on the fringes of history.
Recently, it was the birthday of US President Vidro Wilson, who played an important role in the history of the Armenians. It could have played an even bigger role, but something prevented Wilson from arbitrating 100 years ago. Is it a stroke?
Wilson reflected on the American mandate for Armenia, the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus. On March 20, 1919, he learned that the allies of France and England had secretly agreed to divide the Ottoman Empire, according to Ted Widmer, member of the Carnegie Council of the New York Times published in the New Century Times.
Wilson spent six months in Paris to attend the Paris Peace Conference. On June 28, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed, which officially ended the First World War. On October 2, 1919, Wilson suffered a stroke. For several months, he was only tied in a wheelchair, and it was unclear who made the decisions in the United States at the time.
At the Paris Peace Conference (1919-1920), peace treaties with Germany (Treaty of Versailles), with Austria (Treaty of Saint Germain), with Bulgaria (Treaty of Noy), with the Hungary (Treaty of Troy) and with the Ottoman Empire (Treaty of Sèvres, 1920) were prepared. August 10).
On November 22, 1920, President Woodrow Wilson submitted an offer of arbitration to the Allies for Turkey to transfer 103,599 square kilometers of land to Armenia – two-thirds of the Van and Bitlis vilayets, much of Erzurum, much from vilayet Trabzon. With the Republic of Armenia, it would have an area of 150,000 square kilometers along the Black Sea. Georgia planned to build a railway to Batumi, and Armenia would be granted transit privileges and part of the port of Batumi.
However, in September 1920, Turkey launched a large-scale invasion of Armenia by Mustafa Kemal’s troops, invading Kars, Alexandrapol and threatening the existence of Armenia in late November 1920. During the next two years, the Kemalists and the Bolsheviks occupied Armenia, sharing it with the Moscow Treaty of 1921.
Armenia is taking consistent measures to protect its rights. The victory in Artsakh paved the way for this and the fact that international organizations approve the settlement of the territories proves that the right of the Armenian people to live in their homeland has been recognized. Witness the resolutions of the two chambers of the American Congress.
