Abstract:

The purpose of the article, concerning the research of scholars from different countries and archival documents of Tsarist Russia, is to show that the Armenians are not the aboriginal population of the South Caucasus. They were moved to the region by various powers to secure their geopolitical interests. The resettlement of Armenians to the South Caucasus took place gradually over the centuries. In the 20-the 30s of the XIX century alone, the Russian Empire, after the well-known events, resettled more than 200 thousand Armenians to the South Caucasus. As a result of the Crimean War and subsequent events, 10 thousand Armenians fled to the specified region. During the 1st Russian Revolution, Armenian terrorist organizations, with the support of the Russians, settled numerous Armenian emigrants in the region. As seen from the title of the article, it turns out that comparative-historical, data analysis, historical-descriptive methods have been used here to reveal the essence of the study. The Historical-comparative method is the leading one in the formation of this article, as it is inevitable.
