Next refutation of myth that Karabakh and Zangezur were parts of
Armenia in 1918-1920

A note in New York Times 90 years ago.
Despite the numerous attempts of Armenians to falsify history and
mislead the world community in the issue of belonging of Karabakh,
Zangezur and Nakhchivan in period of existence of independent states
in the South Caucasus before its sovietization, there appeared another
historical proof of the belonging of these oblasts to the Azerbaijan
People's Republic in 1918-1920 and recognition of the said fact by the
world community.
On August 4 of 1920 New York Times published the refutation of the
unchecked information about invasion of Armenia by Bolsheviks from the
side of the Sovietized provinces of Karabakh and Zangezur by US Near
East Relief, headquartered at Madison Avenue 1. This very statement
eliminates all speculations about the annexion of these oblasts to
Armenia in 1918-1920.
In fact, how can Armenia be invaded from the territories of sovietized
Karabakh and Zangezur and at the same time these two provinces be
considered a part of Armenia? As the invasion of Armenia started from
the territory of Soviet Azerbaijan, it means that Karabakh and
Zangezur were considered foreign to Armenia.
The final point in the issue of recognition of Karabakh and Zangezur
as part of Azerbaijan was put by the next phrase from the press
release of the US humanitarian organization: "These two provinces are
mostly settled by ethnic Armenians, but it has never been regulated by
the government of Armenia.
They are a mountain area rich in minerals, hold, copper, iron, zinc in
the whole Middle East. They have no contacts with Armenia because of
lack of communication". (New York Times, August 4, 1920).
