One of the main objectives of the resettlement of the Armenians from Iran was to \u201cchristianize\u201d the Azerbaijani province of Russia or rather \u201carmenianize\u201d it. In order to determine a new \u201cadministrative structure\u201d for the Transcaucasia in the early 30s of XIX century senators P .I. Kutaysov and Y. I. Mechnikov visited this region. <\/p>\n

They suggested \u201cto force the inhabitants of these territories to speak, think and feel like the Russians\u201d in order to enlighten the population of the country with the rays of the Orthodox religion and raise the refreshing cross on the ruins of Islam\u201d.\u00a0 Lazarev, who considered himself \u201cthe chief inspirer of this migration\u201d, worked hard for the migration of the Armenians.\u00a0 He reported to Paskevich that he could inculcate \u201cconfidence in the Armenians that they would ensure the well-being and security of their future generations under the rule of a state having the same religion. \u201cSuggestions strengthened by the attempts of officers gained such a success that first the Maragha Armenians, and then all the Armenians in Azerbaijan (Iranian Armenians) agreed to settle\u2026 \u201d.<\/p>\n

As it is written by Glinka, a Russian researcher, \u201cthe Armenians from various settlements near to Turkmenchay flew to Karabakh\u201d.\u00a0 Over 8.000 Armenian families crossed the Araks River within three months. When he felt the lack of the state lands for the accommodation of an excessive number of displaced families in in the province of Nakhchivan, Paskevich wrote to Lazarev on April 24, 1828:\u00a0 \u201cThe majority of migrants, especially the poor, tend to Karabakh. They can be provided with everything\u2026\u201d It should be noted that Lazarev made great efforts in this issue. Glinka witnessed: \u201cLazarev persuaded the majority of the Armenian refugees to go to Yerevan and Karabakh and provided them with money\u201d. Kalacheviski, commandant of Karabakh, was zealous in resettlement of the Armenians in Karabakh.\u00a0 He wrote to the military governor of Tiflis that \u201cthe Armenians eager to settle in Karabakh were subjected to pressures by the Iranian government.\u201d\u00a0 In his letter to Griboyedov of November 9, 1828,, Paskevich charged Griboyedov to write a letter to his Majesty Naib-Sultan (Fatali Shah’s son, the heir to the throne of Iran), contain seven clauses connected with this issue. Griboyedov informed Paskevich on November 29, 1828: \u201cWith my urgent request appropriate measures have been taken in connection with Captain Kalachevski\u2019s notes\u201d. At the same time Griboyedov informed Kalachevski: \u201caddress your demands to me or to Amburger in my absence, and your demands will be fulfilled\u201d.<\/p>\n

As it was noted by A. S. Griboyedov his in letters on the resettlements of the Armenians from Iran \u201cthe displaced Armenian people have been mainly settled on the lands of the Muslim landlords. It is tolerable in summer. The Muslim landlords are in summer pastures and not often communicate with the strangers\u2026. The displaced persons have not been well accommodated and create discomfort for the local Muslims.\u00a0 It causes a true discontent of the Muslims\u201d.<\/p>\n
