Abstracts

EN

The documents of the U.S. State Department are a remarkable source for a comprehensive study of the history of Zangezur’s struggle for survival. These documents reveal the internal situation of Zangezur, the Turkish-Azerbaijani aspirations towards the region, their danger and the policy of the Allied powers towards Armenia in 1919-1920. The historical realities of that period are more than understandable in the context of the claims about Zangezur, undisguisedly sounded from Ankara and Baku after the Turkish-Azerbaijani aggression against the Artsakh Republic in September-November 2020.
