Abstract
The paper focuses on the basic turning points in the fate of Nakhidjevan Province, which was made part of the Armenian Oblast in 1828. The article, using new archival materials from the US State Department, particularly highlights the battles which led to the destruction of the Armenian villages of the province and the killing of thousands of Armenians as the province changed hands between the Armenians and local Muslims, who outnumbered the native Armenians.
The paper details the involvement of British, Soviet and Turkish forces in the area, the Republic of Armenia, and both the local Muslims and the native Armenians, all trying to grab this strategic piece of land.
Eventually, between 12 and 15 July 1920 the Armenian army moved forth, and the Muslims recognized Sharur-Nakhidjevan as part of the Armenian Republic. However, the entrance of the Red Army into the region on July 28, the unsuccessful Soviet Armenian negotiations in Moscow and the war launched by Mustafa Kemal against the Republic of Armenia on September 20 blocked the accession of Nakhijecvan to Armenia.
