dude my grand grandma is older than Azerbaijan💀 She says back then there were only some Turkic tribes living there under the Russian influence

Being part of Armenia makes more sense, because independence leaves nations vulnerable. See the example of Kashmir, which suffered from not being part of Pakistan.

Karabakh, derives from the Azerbaijani Qarabağ, which is generally believed to be a compound of the Turkic word kara (black) and the Iranian word bagh (garden), literally meaning "black garden.

That's right. I prefer the name used in the kingdom of Armenia since 300 BC: Artsakh.

Glory to Azerbaijan!

Love both your country and Armenia, from Iraq. We are enemies of the oppressors, whether they be Ottoman, Umayyad, or European.

Yes! 😂

Thanks for the comment and for recognizing some of the complexities of the situation. The demographics of Shushi did indeed change over time, but focusing on a single point in history like the 1800s can give a skewed perspective. It's important to look at long-term trends. The Azerbaijani government has been known to celebrate and award war criminals like Safarov, or more recently in 2020, the soldier who executed a civilian on video. This makes any attempts to "both sides" the issue highly problematic. And the fact that Aliyev repeatedly refers to Armenia as "Western Azerbaijan" perpetuates an environment where hostility can thrive, undermining any real hopes for a peaceful solution.

​@@AkravHistory Thanks for your answer. Yes, but neither Armenians or Azeris were a clear majority in Shushi (until the massacres of Armenians by the Azeris). Just because the Karabakh council choose 50% Armenian 50% Azeri Shushi as their capital doesn't make it more Armenian than Azerbaijani. Melkonian who became one of the leaders of the Artsakh movement was part of an ASALA terror attack which lead to the death of a 14 year old girl in 1980. Of course, Melkonian subsequent rise to one of the leaders during war times can subsume his role in killing a 14 year old girl in a terror attack. However, Armenias reception of ASALA terrorists who killed Turkish diplomats and civilians in Europe and Turkey is not limited to Monte. Varuzhan Karapetyan killed 8 people by exploding a bomb in the Orly Airport in 1983. When he was later released he was given employment and a place to live by the former major of Yervan, Nazaryan, and recieved the gratitude of prime minsiter Andranik Markaryan. Armenian society is sadly no different than Azeri when it comes to celebrating and making heroes of cold blooded psychopats (which is not that strange when you remeber that they have the same ancestry lol). I followed the 2020 Karakbakh war and I saw most of the cruel videos on telegrams with a clear majority of the perpetrators in the videos being Azeris, whether it was grave bodily abuse or destruction of cultural sites. So I agree with you in this regard. I also agree completely that Aliyev's rhetoric of Western Azerbaijan is beyond any acceptable level and should not be tolerated by anyone since it implies the destruction of the Armenia and hints to ethnic cleansing. However I would like to remind again of the political attitude that existed, not anymore, in Armenia with regards to the negoitation of the 6 Azeri majority non-Artsakh provinces. Armenia tried to legitimize its cleansing of 400k Azeris from the region (remeber, 2x the population of Artsakh) and try to keep the status quo of Artsakh forever. With that in regard, I believe supporting Mr. Pashinyan and opposing Azerbaijans outragous claims is the moral correct position at the moment. Artsakh becomes part of Armenia (or whatever Artsakh wants), 6 regions back to Azerbaijan and the opening of the Zangezur coridor for Turkey and Azerbaijan. The west never cared for Armenia and never will. No political entity that relies on western sympathy or Russian forces will ever survive in our region. Pashinyan is the only option. Armenia has evolved from the crazy 1960-70s winds that took over the world, and Armenias support of Mr Pashinyan in this regard is a proof of that. Sadly, Azerbaijan still has a long way to go. Keep up the videos!

@@plsegotttrue, I have to say tho that the population of nagorno karabakh was predomantly armenian in the 18th century, as stated by the Georgian King Erekle (1769) and by Tsar Peter the great (1717), so even tho the Persian King Shah Abbas resettled lots of Armenians from Artsakh into New Djulfa(in Isfahan) approximately 300.000 Armenians and then settled lots of Kurds and Türks(North Azerbaijanis between them too)the territory still stayed Armenian populated mostly, as 1823 where Armenians werent resettled yet the population of nagorno karabakh was still majority Armenian, 90,8% the low land pastures were mostly populated by muslims by then tho, because of the deportations of Armenians out of the territory and deportations of Muslims into the territory! Even in 1918 where many of the lowland Azeris and other Turkic tribes residing in the lowlands traveled up into the moutainnous region the population still stayed 71,4% Armenian and even when Azerbaijan settled many Azerbaijanis into the territory to change its demographics it still stayed overwhelmingly Armenian! Armenia did ethnically cleanse lots of Azerbaijanis, but Azerbaijan did the same, it was from both sides!

​​​@@plsegott half of what you said made sense, unfortunately the other half not so much and short sighted Edit : I HADN'T READ YOUR PART ABOUT THE ZANGEZUR CORRIDOR. ARE YOU ****** INSANE THAT WOULD BE SUÏCIDE. btw there have been attempts for compromises and to give parts back to azerbaijan but was rejected

@@plsegott We should always go back to the root of the issue. Crimes which Armenians did in response to Azerbaijani crimes do not mean that Azerbaijan should continue occupying Armenian territory. The mass killing of Arabs by European immigrants who established a state in the East Mediterranean is an example of this, though the Arabs may not have been as brutal in their responses as the Armenians as far as I know.

Karabakh is a part of Azerbaijan. This fact has been recognized by international organizations. And not control, under OCCUPATİON of Armenia.

@@sudabeqafarova2650 How can a people indigenous to the land they have lived on for centuries be considered “occupiers”? The history of the Armenians living in Karabagh is longer and older than Azerbaijan as a country. This is a fact, even if the whole world took sides with Azerbaijan for political reasons and benefits.

Thank you very much! The topic is quite relevant currently and means a lot to a lot of people so I wanted to give it the attention it deserves.

@@AkravHistory You included many great points. One that Artsakh may have been briefly transferred to Caspian Albania, a heavily debated topic. I wonder if that's what Azeri scholars go off by claiming Artsakh "ancient Azeri" lands; as they inaccurately claim to be the Caspian Albanian heirs (similarly how Turkey claim today to be the Hittites)...

@@dhmn77 It is definitely one of the many theories I see thrown around here regarding "ancient Azeri lands", and in my opinion the one that holds most water. Which isn't much water if you ask me!

Interesting. Upon a quick search I could not find anything suggesting that he had any Armenian roots.

The name Bek signifies the Turkic title of Chieftain, the ottomans called their governors Bey, and turkmens and Uzbeks aswell as Kazakhs used this title, it’s origins are in old Turkic. So to answers your question, there is nothing that would indicate that the individual you mentioned may be of a turkified Armenian background, though such a group does exist.

Actually those are Iranic origins words

@@Supreme_fence_sitterThe bame Khosrov specifically is used by armenians although from iranic original

@@hayots_lernashkharh not really, many Azerbaijanis have the name Khosrov or Xosrov to be more specific, it doesn’t belong to one group or ethnicity, both Turkic and non Turkic people gave this name

Working on something along those lines!

@@AkravHistory the country I’m from supports Azerbaijan sadly, I’ve been studying world history for 4 years and not once throughout history has Artsakh ever been classified a Azerbaijani republic, Azerbaijan banned Armenians from Azerbaijan so if Artsakh was Azerbaijan then there would be armenians in Azerbaijan so Azerbaijan would have to take them all out because they’re banned in “they’re” country even though people from Artsakh are Armenian, Love To Armenia from Iraq 🇮🇶♥️🇦🇲

The alternative of being bullied into silence is far scarier for me.

@@AkravHistory quite understandable. I admire your dedication to documenting and sharing history, keep up the good work! I'd also like to ask my question now. When exactly did the first Azerbaijanis enter and begin living in the Artsakh region? Would it have been during one of the ancient Turkish/Ottoman invasions?

Thank you very much Alan! The simpler answer is they were most likely brought to the region by the Seljuk invasion in the 11th century. That said, from the time we started having population census, we see their presence in the Artsakh region was sparce as they hovered around 20%. In certain cities not ever reaching 10%, such as Hadrut, which they now occupy.

@@AkravHistory they werent brought by the seljuqs! They are mixture of Iranians and Turks, the firat azeris came to existence in the 14th century and first largely populating artsakh in 1747 when the Afshar Turkic leader Panah ali khan conquered the Meliktoms of Artsakh the first azeris started to immigrate there along with afshar and qajar turks!

@@nxp38_66 That's right - at least in the context of "Azeri identity".

As a Georgian I support Azerbaijan. I only will support armenia if they recognizes that russia is occupant country

@@noworldfortheweak I'm afraid they won't do that. Armenia is a vassal state of Russia, it's part of the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organisation) headed by Moscow. It has not even condemned the brutal and barbaric agression in Ukraine, let alone the dismemberment of this country or of Georgia in 2008. Armenia should follow international law and respect the territorial integrity of all, as should Azerbaijan. It's up to Armenia to unite with likeminded democracies or side and be accomplice the Moscow's genocidal war in Ukraine.

Cause red kurdistan was only a region and not a empire

@@nxp38_66 Despite that, it should have been mentioned because it is on the borders of Karabakh and was once a country, I mean that the video is not neutral when the historian cancels part of history, so how can I trust his information

@@gogo43236 It was never a country, rwd kurdistan wxisted only, cause the Armenian Meliktoms of Khagatan were exiled from Persian shah abbas into Isfahan while Kurds were settled there by the persians!

Red Kurdistan was only an autonomous Region in Between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh from 1923-1929. It was indeed not an "Independent State" or a "SSR" .But it would be worth mentioning it in the video!
