The Nakhichevan protocol: A blueprint for the destruction of Artsakh 

I believe the 2020 44-day war, an invasion in reality, was a proxy war by terrorist Turkey on behalf of militarily incompetent Azerbaijan with direct and indirect help from half dozen other terrorist states and entities such as the Turkish-recruited fatherless Northern Syrian ISIS terrorist paid-mercenaries and the morally-bankrupt and hypocritical state of Israel to gain access to enemy-reoccupied Armenian liberated territories right next door to Israel’s arch-enemy Iran to be used as military launching pads for attacks on Iran to take out their nuclear facilities. They provided our enemy with long-range Israeli missiles and military grade kamikaze drones and, given Azerbaijan’s military incompetence, I’m convinced Israeli agents were on the ground operating these weapons against our forces. Turkey’s terrorist defense ministry was in full command and control of Azerbaijani forces and it led and directed the joint Turkish-Azerbaijani invasion. The last time, prior to 2020 joint invasion, that Azerbaijan tried any large-scale attack on its own was a few years prior in 2016 and it only lasted 4 days after a decade of full militarization and the whole thing was over within a week!

The first ever Azerbaijan republic (1918-1920) artificially invented at the end of WW1 in 1918 for the former homeless Caucasian Muslim Tatars, present day Azerbaijanis, never existed during the entire long history of Artsakh. Its founder, Mohammad Amin Rasulzade (Rasul=prophet; zade=birth; or the descendant of the prophet – son of a messenger), was a Nazi sympathizer who provided WW2 Nazi Germany with a 70,000 Azerbaijani legion to fight against the Soviets. Its first leader, the prime minister, was Fatali Khan Khoyski who arranged the 1918 Baku Armenian massacres. He was assassinated in Tiflis Georgia by the Armenian patriot Aram Yerganian as part of the 1920s Operation Nemesis. Neither Artsakh nor Nakhichevan was part of this newly-invented Azerbaijani republic, a Turkish outpost in South Caucasus, in its two-year existence. They were illegally taken from Armenia-SSR and annexed to Azerbaijan-SSR after the two were absorbed into the USSR. Interestingly enough, when USSR dissolved and came to an end in 1991, independent Azerbaijan republic declared itself as successor state to that of the first non-Soviet Azerbaijan republic where both Artsakh and Nakhichevan stood outside of its boundaries.

I think the uprooting of native Armenians from Nakhichevan at the turn of the 17th century, 1603-1604, was both planned and deliberate as well as a consequence of a war between the Safavid Shia Persian and Ottoman Sunni Turkish empires, respectively. It was meant to change the region’s population demographic in favor of our enemy. The vacuum created by the uprooting of the Armenians from their homeland was filled with Turkic, Kurdish and Muslim nomads from the Persian highlands. Over 300,000 Armenians were forced out of their homeland across the Aras River, many drowned crossing the river, and settled in ancient Persian capital of Isfahan where they established their New-Julfa Armenian community. The Armenian population there was mostly used for their advanced industrial and trading skills. A small percentage of this population returned home and settled in Iran-Armenia border region which our lying and manipulative enemy refers to as settlers or migrants when in reality the act of a people displaced and uprooted from their homeland returning to their place of origin is called repatriation and not what they claim. The existence of a 1,300-year old Armenian cemetery desecrated and destroyed in Nakhichevan by sadistic enemy in 2005 and building a military training camp in its place, as a means to erase any and all evidence of Armenian existence there, is a further proof that the Armenians have been indigenous to the region since time immemorial!

Artsakh and Nakhichevan are as Armenian as apple pie is American as Americans would say. In Armenian, Nakhichevan (Նախիջեվան) Nakh-iche-van (Նախ-իջե-վան) where Nakh (Նախ)=first, primary or original; iche (իջե) from the verb ichel (իջել) = To descend, to come to rest; van (վան) = a suffix meaning a region or a settlement. For example, Charentsavan (Charents-a-van) means a settlement or a town named after (in honor of) the Armenian poet, writer and activist Yeghishe Charents (1897-1937). Similarly, Nakhichevan=The Original Resting Place of Noah’s Ark on the Sacred Biblical Mount Ararat. The name Ararat itself, the epicenter of the Armenian homeland and the national symbol of the Armenian nation, means The Land of the Armenians. When our Turkish enemy today claims Ararat is in Turkey that effectively means Armenia is in Turkey!
