Armenia Was Sacrificed in 1921

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Moscow Treaty signed on March 16, 1921 was a logical continuation of the Brest peaceful agreement, when Bolshevist Russia wishing to quit World War I was ready for great territorial concessions, political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, the study of documents shows that Germany was indifferent to the fate of eastern Armenia and did not insist on its conveyance to Turkey. “It was Trotsky’s personal initiative most likely coordinated with Lenin. The Kars agreement in October 1921 strengthened the provisions if the Moscow one. As result, representatives of Turkey and Russia gathered in Moscow and cut off a considerable part of Armenia’s territory,” he noted.

The expert said the problem was that in March 1921 Armenia was not a Bolshevik republic. “Bolsheviks wished to make friends with Turkey and the conveyance of Armenian lands to Turkey proved their “sincerity”. Moscow knew Armenians won’t resign to the role of a lamb destined to sacrifice,” Melik-Shahnazaryan said. In his words, for this purpose almost the whole staff of the Armenian army was arrested and this caused the rebellion February 18, 1921.

“The February rebellion expelled Bolsheviks from the greater part of Armenia. Yerevan and all major towns were ruled by the leaders of the First Republic of Armenia. Blaming Armenians and saying “if it were not the rebellion there wouldn’t have been the conveyance of the lands” is incorrect from the historical viewpoint and immoral from the national viewpoint,” the Armenian expert underscored.
