History of Nagorno Karabakh (2010x3)

Udgivelsesdato: Okt 09, 2010

In 1978 the Armenian Nagorno Karabakh Oblast erected a memorial dedicated to the 150 years of Armenian settlement in Karabagh. The settlement of Armenians took place after the adoption of the treaty of turkmenchay in 1828. The Armenians had arrived from a city in Iran, called Maragha, in fact a region of Karabagh was later renamed after Maragha. However the memorial only remained in this shape for only 10 years. By 1988 the inscription of the memorial was removed, this was done to manufacture a new history. A history that would be compatible with the territorial ambitions of Armenia.
