1/ For #Armenians who claim "Artsakh" is their land:
A simple GoogleNgram search reveals that the word "Karabag" was in Russian (!) archives since (at least) 1805.
The word "Artsakh" started showing up in those same archives only after the Rep. of Armenia was founded in 1918!

2/ Why the long pause? #Azerbaijan #Armenia
Because Armenians were a minority nomadic tribe spread across a wide area. This Russian archive says that Armenians should be re-settled (i.e., concentrated) into Irevan and Karabag khanates of... you guessed it - Azerbaijan.

3/ Even only a couple decades ago, this truth was not completely erased from your culture, as you can hear from the tongue of this Armenian history teacher:
#Azerbaijan #Armenia
#Azerbaijan #Armenia
4/ Here, the first president of Armenia talks to BBC about how Armenia gained its first independence and about the history of the Karabag conflict. Listen to him until the end.
#Azerbaijan #Armenia
#Azerbaijan #Armenia
5/ Here's Stalin's famous order, which some of you like to cite a lot saying that Karabag was "given" to Azerbaijan. The order clearly says that Karabag should "remain" in Azerbaijan. #Azerbaijan #Armenia
6/ And lastly, here is a map of Azerbaijan in 1918, drawn by a French cartographer, clearly showing that not only Karabag, but also a lot more is part of Azerbaijan. So, Stalin, who came to power in 1922, couldn't have GIVEN something that was already part of Azerbaijan in 1918.
7/ And lastly-lastly, and offensive (yet somehow true) letter from a Russian diplomat Griboyedov to Czar Nikolas, sent about 200 years ago, which sheds light on today's situation in Karabag:
8/ P.S. For a lot of #Armenians, existence of ancient churches in Karabag region is somehow a proof that it belonged to them in the ancient times. Ay bala, people of #Azerbaijan weren't always Muslim. This post by Aytən further illuminates the subject:

11/ Here's USA Secretary of State and USA Ambassador to the United Nations - Madeleine Albright, delivering the decision and order by the UN Security Council in 1993:
#Azerbaijan #Armenia
#Azerbaijan #Armenia
13/ What the Professor in the previous post is saying is basically that even #Armenia does not recognize #Karabag ("#Artsakh") as part of Armenia or as an independent anything. So, when y'all say things like "rEcOgNiZe aRtSakH" all you're doing is showing you've been brainwashed.
14/ Painting by artist Roubaud, titled "The Capture of Erivan", 1827. For all "historians" of Armenian origin, claiming that only dinosaurs lived before them. The number of mosques clearly contradicts the theory of "great" Armenian historians. #Azerbaijan #Armenia
15/ Armenians that lived in #Azerbaijan and moved back to #Armenia talking about local Armenian Armenians (part-1):
16/ Armenians that lived in #Azerbaijan and moved back to #Armenia talking about local Armenian Armenians (part-2):
17/ Armenians that lived in #Azerbaijan and moved back to #Armenia talking about local Armenian Armenians (part-3):
18/ These ancient maps don't show countries, but regions. Armenia was a region. Probably the reason the ancient Hays people took the name. Just like Caspians took the name after the sea. Look at this map. If #Armenia was a country, then Asia Minor was another country? #Azerbaijan
19/ A fact-based comic angle on the situation:
#Azerbaijan #Armenia

20/ From @ChinaraKh: A map from the year 1770 by German cartographer Conrad Tobias Lotter: u can see ADIRBEITZANIA describing the area of modern day #Azerbaijan. Where is the ancient #Artsakh & #Armenia? Notice that this is a map that looks like a map - not a painting/photoshop!

1)Indigenous history without documentation = fairy-tales.
2)Fairy-tales/indigenous history ≠ legal right.
3)They can still live there ≠ call it Armenia.
4)They lived there ≠ Armenia.
5)Greeks,Romans,Mongols lived and even governed "everywhere". So?

about #Karabagh demographics, for all those misinformed who think that #Armenians always used to be the majority there. They weren't! This is also what the teacher in post#3 above is talking about. +
