Türkiye’nin kuzeydoğusunda bir serhad vilayeti olan Ardahan, Kafkasların Karadeniz’e açılan kapısı durumundadır. Bu jeopolitik öneminden dolayı tarih boyunca farklı medeniyetlerin hâkimiyeti altında bulunan Ardahan’da yaklaşık 4 bin yıllık Türk varlığı söz konusudur. Bu tarihi hakikat Ermeni ve Gürcü tarihçiler açısından tarihi gerçeklere aykırı olarak ele alınmaktadır. Ardahan’ın yüzyıllarca Türk hâkimiyetinde bulunması onlar tarafından göz ardı edilmekte ve buranın aidiyetinin kendilerinde olması gerektiği iddia edilmektedir. Özellikle 1877-1878 Osmanlı-Rus Savaşı’ndan sonra şehre yoğun miktarda Ermeni nüfus yerleştirilerek bölge Ermenileştirilmeye çalışılmış, bu da Türk-İslam halk üzerinde olumsuz neticeler doğurmuştur. Rusların 1917 ihtilalinden sonra Ardahan’dan çekilmeye başlaması, burada yaşayan Ermeni ve Gürcülerin kendi silahlı kuvvetlerini oluşturmasına neden olmuş ve tarihi emellerini hayata geçirmek için yeni fırsatlar sunmuştu. Gürcü ve Ermenilerin paylaşamadığı bir yer olan Ardahan, nüfuz çatışma alanı olmuş ve bundan en fazla zararı Türk-İslam ahali görmüştür. Milli Mücadele Dönemi’nde, Türk kuvvetleri ileri harekâta başlayarak 23 Şubat 1921’de Ardahan'a girmişlerdir. 1921’in Mart ve Ekim aylarında imzalanan Moskova ve Kars antlaşmalarına göre, Ardahan bugün Türkiye'nin bir parçasıdır. Söz konusu çalışmada, konu ile ilgili Gürcistan ve Ermenistan’da yapılan çalışmalar da incelenerek, Ardahan’ın Türk, Ermeni ve Gürcü mücadelelerindeki önemi ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.
Ardahan, a serhad province in the northeastern part of Turkey, is the door of the Caucasus to the Black Sea. Because of this geopolitical importance, there is about 4 thousand years of Turkish existence in Ardahan, which is under the rule of different civilizations throughout history. This historical fact is treated as contrary to historical facts from the point of view of Armenian and Georgian historians. The existence of Ardahan in the Turkish rule for centuries has been neglected by them and it is claimed that the belonging to this place should be in them. Especially after the 1877-1878 Ottoman-Russian War, a large amount of Armenian population was placed in the city and the area was attempted to be Armenianized, which resulted in negative consequences on the Turkish-Islamic people. The retreat of the Russians from Ardahan after the 1917 conflict led to the Armenians and Georgians who lived here to form their own armed forces and offered new opportunities to bring their historical emiles into life. Ardahan, a place where the Georgians and Armenians cannot share, has become an area of influence conflict and has seen the damage to the Turkish-Islamic allies. During the National Struggle Period, the Turkish forces began advancing movement and entered Ardahan on 23 February 1921. According to the Moscow and Kars treaties signed in March and October 1921, Ardahan is now part of Turkey. In this study, the studies on the subject were also studied in Georgia and Armenia, trying to reveal the importance of Ardahan in the Turkish, Armenian and Georgian struggles.
