Zangazur is one of large territories of present Armenia where Azerbaijanis historically lived. Basing on scientific sources, historical past Zangazur and its districts in a historical sketch of the Azerbaijanis living in Armenia is given.
The forced relocation of the Armenians to Azerbaijan at the beginning of the 20th century caused the balance in the region to change completely. With the implementation of the “Great Armenia” plan, many events occurred in the Caucasus. The scale of the events increased in 1905-1906 and they did not remain just in Baku, but spread to all of the Caucasus.
With the emergence of independent states – Azerbaijan and Armenia on the political map of the South Caucasus – interethnic clashes between Armenians and Azerbaijanis, which took place for the first time in 1905-1906, grew to the level of interstate conflict.
For nearly a century, Armenian ideologists and their supporters have been trying to convince the world that a massacre was committed against “piteous” Armenian people in the territories of Ottoman Empire at the state level in 1915.
