Deportations of Azerbaijanis From West Azerbaıjan and the Concept of Return

Abstract

Throughout history, people around the world have encountered a variety of challenges, including tragedies and natural disasters that have affected multiple generations. One of them is the deportation of some individuals. For nearly two centuries, Azerbaijanis were first incorporated in Russia, then exiled as part of the Soviet empire.The worst part is that it is illegal to discuss it until Azerbaijan regains its independence. For the interest of justice, we should emphasize that several study works on those who were oppressed during the Soviet era have recently been published in Russia. However, the realities of Azerbaijani deportation from Armenia are not mentioned in the works of Russian researchers. This indicates that we have not been able to fully communicate such truths to the international community.First, Azerbaijanis were gradually evicted and deported from the land of modern-day Armenia in the years 1905-1906, 1918-1920, 1948-1953, and 1988-1991. At the same time, several of them, particularly the elderly and children, died as a result of the severe conditions of relocation, unexpected temperature change, bodily shocks, and spiritual agony. As a result, Armenian nationalists conducted a systematic and deliberate genocide and expulsion of Azerbaijanis who were densely inhabited in the territories.
