Artsakh (Karabakh) is an integral part of historic Armenia. During the Urartian era (9-6th cc. B.C.) Artsakh was known as Urtekhe-Urtekhini. As a part of Armenia Artsakh is mentioned in the works of Strabo, Pliny the Elder, Claudius Ptolemy, Plutarch, Dio Cassius, and other ancient authors. (copypasta)

@@sohrabasgerli1432 the difference is an expansionist and pretty short lived empire and a land that has been in Armenia since ancient times and has always been almost completely populated by Armenians. By your logic is Azerbaijan a part of Persia?

Thank you again Akrav for another great and insightful video, the corridor part was always confusing for me so you clearing it up helped a lot. The human rights or whatever index has to be the funniest part.. lower than Taliban controlled Afghanistan.. HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN lol. I hope at some point you can make a whole video about Nakhchivan and what happened as there's so much to talk about, still glad you were able to bring some of it up.

[@armennazarian7097]

As a Parskahay with roots in Nakhchivan I would love to see a video on Armenian history in that region

[@AkravHistory]

I have no idea how they can get a lower score than TALIBAN CONTROLLED AFGHANISTAN!

[@ashotbyerkat]

Well, first of all - it's not "Nakhchivan". It's "Nakhijevan" (Նախիջեւան) or "Nakhtchawan" (Նախճաւան), both of which are Armenian names. The reason this region is under Azerbaijani occupation is because the Soviet Russians wanted to appease Turkey, which wanted land access to the mainland - although newly created - Azerbaijan. They basically handed it over to AzSSR authorities, and determined that Artsakh (Mountainous Karabagh) was to be included in the AzSSR as well. Once Nakhijevan/Nakhtchawan was handed over....cue extermination of Armenians, forced deportations and destruction of cultural heritage, including the Jugha cemetery with cross-stones (khachqar, խաչքար) dating back to the 9th century. The Azerbaijanis tried to do the same thing in Artsakh (Mountainous Karabagh), but this time the Armenians mobilized and violently resisted, expelling all Azerbaijanis from the region and its' 7 adjacent districts (these are internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, unlike Artsakh).

[@larsfrisk6658]

I definitely think it comes out of a desire to portray a conflict as being "complicated" or “nuanced” in the sense that neither side is clearly right or wrong. But this kind of attempt at objectivity can be just as misleading IMO.

[@موسى_7]

What I disliked about every video on the Nagorno-Karabagh conflict was the fact they never covered why the conflict was being fought for that land, and why the countries hate each other. I read about Azeris oppressing Armenians after the Armenian genocide, but I couldn't find enough information about it; the Ottoman Empire fell, so what motivated Azeris to continue the oppression for a century? I hope to learn from this channel.

[@AkravHistory]

Hello, thanks for reaching out. As you probably already know, the Turkic tribes were first introduced to the region around the 11th century and assimilated many local populations, often violently. I would say the animosity dates back to that introduction of the Turkic tribes into anatolia. If you do a DNA test on Azerbaijanis, most would show closer proximity to Persians than those central asian Turkic tribes. Similarly, people in Turkey would be closer to Greeks, Armenians and Kurds. Historically when things aren't going well in a country, they often blame minorities, as they did in the Ottoman empire, starting with the Armenians. It was just too advantageous for them to fan the flames of this animosity, even when it resulted in genocide. After the Armenians were erased, they blamed the Kurds. The animosity was further exacerbated by the Russians as they divided borders along arbitrary lines, such as including Artsakh into Azerbaijan SSR, effectively making themselves the guarantor of peace and stability in the region. Azerbaijan today is an oil-rich dictatorship but most of its population lives in poor conditions because their wealth overwhelmingly concentrated at the top. In order to maintain this status, it's still advantageous for the ruling Aliyev regime to keep fanning the flames of the animosity. I have videos going through Azerbaijani history books that claim Azerbaijani Turks had been living in Azerbaijan since the dawn of mankind whereas Armenians were moved there by the Russians. This of course has zero academic support, but it keeps people looking outwardly at Armenians as the enemy.

[@sjoerdglaser2794]

I searched for 'reallifelore response' on youtube, because I had an inkling his videos were simplistic. The story it too smooth: he shows little evidence and NEVER any counter evidence to what he states. And he makes at least one highly produced video every week on a completely different topic. As someone who taught at universities, that's almost impossible unless you are already an expert.

[@AkravHistory]

There you go. Glad you ended up here, thanks for dropping a comment!

[@موسى_7]

Hello, I'm an Iraqi Shia Muslim. Azeris are also Shia, but Azerbaijan is an evil country for a few reasons, but they are not ranked in order of importance, just what comes to mind first: 1: Kemalist anti-religion government. They have restrictions on hijab. It's like Mustafa Kemal Ataturk all over again. 2: Ally of a certain state on the east coast of the Mediterranean with a blue-and-white flag, enemy of the leader of the resistance against that country, which is a Shia country with an Islamic government, with a red-green-white flag which says 'there is no god but God' 3: Just like their Mediterranean ally, they are a genocidal state, continuing the Armenian genocide into the 21st century. The oppression of the Armenians continued after the fall of the Ottomans in the Soviet Union in Nagorno Karabagh. My mother once told me that we, the Shia of Iraq, during the Armenian genocide hid and protected Armenians in our houses thanks to the fatwas of our leaders in Najaf. I don't know where to find a historical source for that, because I am not that proficient in reading Arabic, and Shia history is more obscure than the history of the ruling class in Iraq (the kings, the Ba'athists, the Ottomans), especially in the Ottoman Era when most people were illiterate. Armenians in 1915 were suffering just as the Arab victims of the Mediterranean state are suffering. What a coincidence. The similarities between the Ottoman army and the Kurds to the Mediterranean state are absolutely shocking.

[@semaseferli266]

As an Azerbaijani I respected you for speaking with evidences. I really appreciate that. But also im genuinely curious about Khojaly genocide which happened in 1992 by Armenians. I want to know the truth about it. I would be very happy if you could explain it in your another video 🙏🏻

[@AkravHistory]

I appreciate your comment, but I don't think you understand what the word "genocide" means. Genocide does not mean that a few hundred people died or a few thousand. It means that there was an INTENT to destroy a group of people. I don't want to minimize the massacre of civilians no matter where it happens, it should be condemned every time. But you can not compare that to over a century of planned, coordinated and intentional operations to finish off Armenians from the region. 60% of all Armenians died in the Ottoman Empire. 100% of Armenians have been removed from Artsakh now. I get comments on my videos from Turks many times a day celebrating these events often referring to "finishing the job". I don't see that on the Armenian side, nowhere near it. And finally, it's not up to me. Genocide is a legal term and historians and legal experts at large agree about what the Ottomans did constituted Genocide. Nobody other than Turkey and Azerbaijan calls Khojaly a "genocide" and they do it for political gain: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khojaly_massacre#Politicization

[@semaseferli266]

@@AkravHistory alright I got it. But now it’s not like 100% Armenians have been killed or smth in Artsakh a.k.a Karabakh. It’s just Azerbaijan occupied this territory, so that’s why Armenians had to be removed from there bc obviously this two nations couldn’t live jointly get along well with each other. I don’t see anything wrong here. Besides I just want to hear your point of view about Khojaly genocide and also Armenian massacre in Ottoman Empire. It’s just intriguing to explore and be cognizant of new facts regarding this issue. Thanks in advance. And again don’t get me wrong pls if I said something offensive or wrong 🙏🏻

@@AkravHistory There is a new corridor through a border village in Armenia that is currently acting as a road (it's a dirt road right now) leading to Stepanakert and there was newly constructed roads on the Azerbaijan side for Russian peacekeepers to move there. It's a dangerous political game at the moment.

[@fahik]

​@@AkravHistory Serj wanted to make an approach to Europe yes.. but eventually broke off the negotiations as you say, because Russia was already pressuring and threatening him, just like Pashinyan, who started his campaigns being a solid anti-russian to nowdays succumb into Kremlin influence and trying shynessly to split from Russia. It was not the only threat from Kremlin to Serj administration, there were also several cases, such Defense Minister Vigen Sargsyan in 2016/18 traveling to China in order to buy weapons and getting warned by Russia, Lukashenko conversations with Serj, and etc etc. Dont misunderstand me, im not protecting Serj nor attacking him, he was a corrupt, he was running a network of mafia inside the country and ruined economically the country, but one cant argue that he was a very patriotic man (in his manner) and held Armenia high outside the country. This and many moves of Serj pissed off Kremlin, thats why the Velvet revolution consipracies exist such as Serj or Russians allowing Nikol to come to power, although i have no opinion about this, they are just mere hypotesis

It's hard to say definitively. On one hand, Armenia is developing so fast economically and on civil liberty metrics that the future looks very promising, barring outside interference. On the other hand, outside interference is a very real threat in the form of Turkey, Azerbaijan, and not least, Russia. Personally, I'm optimistic with the increasing Western engagement in the region. The new EU border monitoring mission in Armenia has the dictators from Azerbaijan and Russia complaining every chance they get, so Armenia must be doing something right to finally gain her full independence, so to speak.

If Sweden does join NATO three at least some chance Armenia can as well. Of course a smooth transition would be Turkey being kicked out. The CSTO is absolutely worthless, aside from Belarus, I think Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan are also refusing to help.

[@AkravHistory]

@@andrewrogers3067 Oh yes, the channel is basically me rediscovering my roots and documenting the process, usually in a lighter mood. I just don't see Turkey being kicked out of NATO or them ever accepting Armenia in, unfortunately. But I appreciate your optimism! Regarding the CSTO, not many in Armenia were surprised or were expecting much from it. For some reason the headlines in the news all seem to suggest that Armenia is so shocked that Russia didn't come to help. Armenians in general have known for quite a while.

"and just because armenia is smaller and a little further away..." to be fair, the distance between Washington DC and Yerevan is almost exactly the same as between washington DC and Damascus lol (let alone north africa)

[@QWE2623]

Still really good video though, and I actually learned a lot of things I didn't know about the conflict (notably the sheer degree of western involvement in the new ceasefire and the legality of artsakh's independence referendum)

[@AkravHistory]

It's not like they treat Syria with care and attention either. Feels more like "there's war there and we can't do anything about it".

[@anin6857]

Correct, people are not well informed

Thanks for this great video. The truth came to the light Finally. I feel sorry for the Azerbaijan people which they have to live under the dictatorship of this criminal regem. Hopefully in the near future Azerbaijani people can get Read of this criminal and blood trusty regime and become democratic country like Armenia. Thanks again. And god bless you.

[@AkravHistory]

Thank you for your kind words. Indeed, it's a tragic for the everyday Azerbaijani. I share the hope for a future where our neighbors can experience freedom and democracy, akin to Armenia. Blessings to you as well.

I really hope real life lore sees this. And more than that i hope the mistakes in his video were just that, mistakes and nothing malicious

[@AkravHistory]

Thanks so much! That's right, I think they were mistakes or just trying hard to be "balanced". I don't think it was malicious intent, but one could make an argument against maintaining neutrality in the face of a regime like Azerbaijan's.

[@AnttiT]

Thanks for this informative video. I must say, I feel the title "Everything WRONG..." is a bit misleading... Honestly, not knowing your channel beforehand, by the title I thought this video would be something like "This is all lies and propaganda, Azerbaijan never attacked" etc. I still feel the Reallifelore video makes a good, yet overly simplified overall picture of conflict, and your video gives valuable extra insight. Thanks for your work.

[@AkravHistory]

Thank you for watching - sorry for the confusion. The title isn't implying that everything is wrong in RLL's video, but that my video will talk about everything that is wrong in RLL's video. Hope that's clearer. Thanks for the input!

It says enough about how true it is that 'Russia is Armenia's biggest protector', now that the US is now doing military trainings with Armenia🤷‍♂️

[@cip744]

both of u use western sites wich filled with propoganda ..its not the right thing to learn history from video

[@hayots_lernashkharh]

id rather have armenia be closer to russia politically than the west. where has the west gotten us? our benefits from the west are minimal. Also, for the record i am not diehard pro-russia, but it seems more logical to me

[@AkravHistory]

Sure. The West stopped the last invasion, followed by a border monitoring mission that looks like had a much greater effect than the CSTO ever did, and 2.6 billion euro investment not that long ago. What has Russia done for Armenia?

[@samveldzhulfayan1574]

[@gabrielgaudry689]

You can't Say neither that armenia is a democracy

[@AkravHistory]

According to the Democracy Index, Armenia ranks 89th in the world and Azerbaijan ranks 141. Let's not put them on the same level. And perhaps more importantly than that, the trend for Armenia has been going up year after year, whereas Azerbaijan has stayed the same (it can't go much lower). Some infographics for you: imgur.com/a/3DLrf1q

[@az7411]

When will you people understand that "Lachin Corridor" is just the given name to a state of fact that has been going on for decades. The term has no legal implications whatsoever. Also, Azerbaijan has had control over Lachin corridor for a few months now. And finaly, the "soviet law" you are mentioning to justify Karabagh's independance stipulates crystal clear "independance from the UNION" not from de SSR.

[@AkravHistory]

So "Lachin Corridor" is a "state of fact", but "Republic of Artsakh" isn't?

[@az7411]

@@AkravHistory It was. It no longer exist though. I am just tired of people making a fuss over "corridor" terminology.

[@armennazarian7097]

@@az7411 "It was" lmao. Artsakh de facto exists. Who do you think is running Stepanakert? Certainly not the Russians.

[@voyagein2thecoreofthenight700]

1: "withdraw from Armenia", yes the US and EU asked for the removal of Azeri troop from Armenia, and i think nobody is occupying Armenia, they all retreated after the events, but i guess when you say Armenia you say "Armenia plus Artsak" and yea... Azerbaidjan won't let go that region... that's for sure... 2: yes there is no coridor, and nobody even the russians are in control of that road, but it's closed. 3: Armenia good, Azerbaidjan bad... keep going with that it's going to solve everything... 4: Armenia is vastly pro Russian, if you think the opposite my bet is that you haven't been there much... before or after the "velvet" "revolution"... i won't even start to explain why Armenia is pro russian... you are lost man... just an american with armenian root whot thinks he is armenian.. 5: get over it, it's not because an old USSR referumdum says Artsak is indepedant that Artsak is independant... the UN in wich Armenia entered freely says it's an azerbaidjan region... they voted, iit's democracie. Feel free to leave the UN. instead of all those bickering why don't you try to find a solution... you can do like the Europeans, when they had dispute, they exchanged territories... they took a map and look what was the most pragmatic, when i see a map i see both armenia and azerbaidjan have enclaves outside their main territorrie... jsut exchange them... deal... and yes it's possible, yes it has been done before... but of course Armenians and azeri prefer centuries of drama.
