KARABAGH: figures, facts, events and places.
PEOPLE'S GOVERNMENT OF KARABAGH: Elected by the 1st Congress of the Armenians of Karabagh as the executive body of the region. The Congress was held on July 22-26, 1918 in Shushi with the participation of 180 delegates. The Government had five administrators in the following areas: foreign and internal affairs (Yeghishe Ishkhanian), military affairs (Harutiun Toumanian), communications (Martiros Aivazian), finances (Movses Ter-Astvatsatrian), agronomy and justice
POLITICAL - ADMINISTRATIVE FORMATION OF NAGORNO KARABAGH
(1918-1920): During this period Nagorno Karabagh existed as a sovereign,
self-governed state formation. The mousavatists were not able to subdue Karabagh,
the citadel of the Armenians in East Transcaucasus (Azerbaijan) even with
the help of Turkish troops. Turkey failed to meet its goal of extinguishing
the Armenian people of Azerbaijan as one of the main ethnic elements of East
Transcaucasus. However, as the result of the Turkish intervention the ethnic-political
disagreement between the Caucasus Tatars and Armenians in relation with the
whole of Azerbaijan was incorporated with the international-political processes
as the "Karabagh problem".
POLITICAL, LEGAL AND ETHICAL CONDITIONS FOR RESOLVING THE PROBLEM:
a) Republic of Azerbaijan should admit that there is no relation between AzR
and the Armenian territories passed to the former AzSSR
b) Baku officials should publicly apologize for the barbaric actions against
the Armenian people of Azerbaijan
c) Political rights of the Armenians of Azerbaijan should be restored and
the security for their return to Azerbaijan, their homeland should be ensured.
PRINCIPLE OF TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY cannot be applied to AzR in light
of the applicable international agreements and covenants on the territories
on which AzR lays claim.
PROBLEM: In the course of dissolution of the Soviet Union four states,
i.e., Republic of Armenia, Georgia, Republic of Azerbaijan (AzR) and Republic
of Nagorno Karabagh (RMK) declared about their independence in 1991. Considering
these events in the light of the political-legal realities of the USSR as
a state in dissolution, the West acknowledged the new states in the post-Soviet
area as the political-legal successors within the borders of the former Soviet
republics. Therefore, the Republic of Azerbaijan, but not, RMK, was recognized
as an independent state. However, the underlying legal grounds prove that
following such principle, i.e., the acknowledgement of the new states within
the borders of the former Soviet republics, the Republic of Azerbaijan should
not be recognized as a sovereign state because:
a) in the context the political and legal realities of Soviet Union the issue
of the ethnic and historical Armenian territories of the former AzSSR was
not its internal affair,
b) during the period from September till December, 1991, in the course of
dissolution of the USSR, before the acknowledgement of the AzR by the international
community, it was established in the territories which no longer belonged
to AzR de jure.
PARTAVA ( BARDI ) REGION was formed in 1930. It covers
an area of 957 km2. The region includes the right bank plain lands of the
River Kura, the lower reaches of the Khachen and Tertu rivers. Partav borders
on Yevlakh, Tartar, Aghdam, Aghjabedi and Zardob regions.
In the medieval times the territory of the region constituted part of the
historical Uti-Arandznak Province. It was often called Partava by the name
of the main town of the province. Until the 19th century Bardabasen was the
most common name applied to Partava.
