Vanand Province was one of the vital provinces of the newly independent Republic of Armenia. Kemal invasion in 1920 was tragic for the Armenian population. In the newly resettled state, the Turkish troops massacred tens of thousands of peaceful Armenian residents, including Western Armenians who survived the Genocide. A part of the Armenian population of the province was captured and annihilated. As a result of the anti-Armenian policy conducted by the Kemalians, under the threat of persecution and physical destruction by the Turkish army, the remnants of the Armenian population were forced to leave their native places, some settling in other regions of Armenia, and some in foreign countries. In difficult socio-economic conditions, the population of Kars province was deported again, facing new disasters, being massacred in Shirak province, and dying of starvation far from their homeland. The massacres of the population of Vanand province, and the repression and deportation of the Armenian population were the consistent continuation of the Armenian Genocide, perpetrated by the Turkish authorities.
