ON THE ISSUE OF UNLEASHING THE 1920 TURKISH-ARMENIAN WAR (ON THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE WAR)

Abstract

The 1920 Turkish-Armenian war that caused the greatest catastrophe and fatal severe
consequences for both Armenia and the Armenian people was unleashed by Kemalist Turkey, which launched large-scale military operations against the Republic of Armenia on September 28 without announcing a war, seizing a number of Armenian cities and strategic regions. The Armenian, Turkish and other abundant valid documentary materials come to prove that Kemalist Turkey had planned, prepared and worked out an attack on Armenia more than half a year ago, aimed at the failure (cancellation) of the Treaty of Sèvres, the destruction of the Armenian army and the independent republic of Armenia. This publication comes to proofread the purely political, ideological, and propaganda falsification (fake) in Turkish, Soviet and Armenian historiography that it was Armenia, as the “tool of imperialism”, who unleashed the war. Unfortunately, the war that took place a century ago, which lasted about two months, had a devastating effect on Armenia and the Armenian people. As a result, Armenia suffered a severe defeat, a significant part of the republic was occupied, the demand of the Treaty of Sèvres remained unfulfilled, Armenia lost its independence and was sovietized
