Nakhchivan in the Diplomacy of Azerbaijan, Russia and Turkey
Abstract
In spite of tense international situation in 1920-1921s OttomanTurkey did not remain indifferent to the historical fortune of Azerbaijan especially of Nakhchivan. After the World War I the Allies tried to capture Nakhchivan and surroundings by the Armenians in order to subject all Transcaucasian nations‘ resistance attempts for liberty to their political will and to deprive Turkey, the most reliable partner of Turkish-Muslims from the most favourable way to Southern Caucasus, Central Asia and generally Turkic world. It would be naveity to believe that Russia and Iran would compromise with Azerbaijan in this political turbulence. It must be noted that Iran also intended to capture Nakhchivan. In such a delicate situation Iranian agents tried to direct the people who were in serious psychological situation to Iran. In this situation Nakhchivan became the point of knot in the frame of diplomatic relations of super states with Azerbaijan and Turkey. In the early 20s Nakhchivan passed to the plane of Turkey-Soviet relations.
