Five Villages - Five Sentences - Memorial Places of West Azerbaijan Hakin.az continues the "Memorial Places of West Azerbaijan" series. We have already talked about the villages of Sheki, Abil-Kand, Agbulag, Galkand, Gyuliduz, Bini, Gyulibulag, Boyuk-Vidi, Agand, Khanjugaz, Mazra Bolshaya, Arabsa, Chaikand, Mazra Malaya, Amasia, Agudi, Akrak, Almalog and Ardanich. Today we will talk about five more: Arinj, Briabad, Dashkarpo, Kibrach and Kiasman. We will remind you that the series is based on the book of a Ukrainian historian, who writes under the pseudonym Khozri, "Disappeared Civilization - An Unnoticeable Catastrophe" and its continuation - the project "Memorial Places of West Azerbaijan", a joint work of the author and the AZfront team. All five villages have the same general historical background, so we'll talk about it once. On May 29, 1918, the government of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic ceded Arivan, today's Yerevan, and some of its surrounding territories to the Armenians. Thus, on the land where the ancestors of Azerbaijanis historically lived, the first Republic of Armenia was created, which already in the first months of its existence, began to make territorial claims to Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey, then still the Ottoman Empire. In the years 1918-1920, the ruling nationalist party, Deshankaztion, carried out ethnic cleansing of the Turkish population in Iron province and other areas, especially in Zangzur, Karabakh and Nakhchivan. At the end of 1920 Soviet rule was announced in Armenia, and in 1921 it was finally established. You can read more here.
