This study aims to correlate the historical facts between 1921-71 in relation to the occupied western Armenian territories now in Turkey, mainly in relation to the districts of Kars and Ardahan. At the same time the policies of the concerned nations, Turkey, U.S.S.R. and U.S.A are presented. Before the discussion of the main topic, a bird’s eye view id given of the 1045-1918 period in relation to the territorial occupation of western Armenia successively by Seljuk.

Then comparatively a larger space is devoted to the discussion of the facts and policies affecting the Western Armenian territories and in particular the districts of Kars and Ardahan, during 1918-1921.
