About the ―Salyan Genocide, 1918 of Azerbaijanis in historical sources and scientific references

Great powers have skillfully used the ―Armenian card‖ and ―Armenian factor‖ from time to time against the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Turkey, the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and the Republic of Azerbaijan. Historical facts, sources, and documents prove that the settlement of Armenians in the South Caucasus, including the historical territories of Azerbaijan, began in the early 19th century in accordance with the strategic plan prepared by Russia. It was the ―Dashnaktsutyun‖ party that put forward unfounded claims such as the creation of ―Great Armenia from sea to sea‖ or ―Great Armenia from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea‖ and spread the idea of ―Armenianism‖ aimed primarily at the destruction of the Turkic and Muslim peoples. To realize this idea, Armenians carried out mass killings, massacres, terrorist acts, genocide, ethnic cleansing, etc. In 1918, Armenians and the international forces supporting them committed genocide in the cities, towns, villages of Baku, Guba, Shamakhi, Eastern Anatolia, Nakhchikhan, Zangezur, Iravan, Salyan, Neftchala, Lankaran, Goychay, Khoy, Salmas, Urmia regions of South Azerbaijan and other regions. The article describes the Armenian-Dashnaks and the forces supporting them in Salyan in 1918. The genocide committed is being researched and analyzed.
