Армяне в Азербайджане

Армяне в Азербайджане ( армянский : րայերն Ադրբեջանում , латинизированный :  Hayern Adrbejanum ; азербайджанский : Azərbaycan erməniləri ) — армяне , которые жили в больших количествах в современном государстве Азербайджан и его предшественнике, Советском Азербайджане. По статистике, до начала Первой Нагорно-Карабахской войны в 1988 году в Советском Азербайджане проживало около 500 000 армян. [1] [2] Большинству армян в Азербайджане пришлось бежать из республики, как и азербайджанцам в Армении , в события, приведшие к Первой Нагорно-Карабахской войне , ставшей результатом продолжающегося армяно-азербайджанского конфликта. Зверства, направленные против армянского населения, имели место в Сумгаите (февраль 1988 г.), Гяндже (Кировабад, ноябрь 1988 г.) и Баку (январь 1990 г.). Армяне продолжали жить в большом количестве в регионе Нагорного Карабаха , который контролировался прорывом -государство, известное как Нагорно-Карабахская Республика [3] [4] с 1991 года до тех пор, пока регион не был насильственно возвращен Азербайджаном в 2023 году. После захвата Азербайджаном почти все армяне, проживавшие в Нагорном Карабахе, покинули регион.

Неофициальные источники оценивают, что число армян, проживающих на территории Азербайджана за пределами Нагорного Карабаха, составляет около 2000–3000 человек, и почти исключительно это лица, состоящие в браке с азербайджанцами или имеющие смешанное армяно-азербайджанское происхождение. [5] Число армян, которые, вероятно, не состоят в браке с азербайджанцами и не имеют смешанного армяно-азербайджанского происхождения, оценивается в 645 человек (36 мужчин и 609 женщин), и более половины (378 или 59 процентов армян в Азербайджане за пределами Нагорного Карабаха) проживают в Баку, а остальные — в сельской местности. Скорее всего, это пожилые и больные люди, и, вероятно, у них нет других членов семьи. [5] [6] [7] Армяне в Азербайджане подвергаются большому риску, пока нагорно-карабахский конфликт остается неурегулированным. [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] В Азербайджане статус армян является шатким. [13] Армянские церкви остаются закрытыми из-за большой эмиграции армян и страха перед нападениями со стороны Азербайджана. [14]

История

Армяне в Баку

Армяне в Нагорном Карабахе

Карта непризнанной Нагорно-Карабахской Республики.
После прекращения огня 1994 года армянские силы Нагорного Карабаха контролировали почти 9% территории Азербайджана за пределами бывшей Нагорно-Карабахской автономной области, а азербайджанские силы контролировали Шаумян и восточные части Мартакерта и Мартуни .

Армяне жили в Карабахском регионе с периода античности. [15] [16] В начале II века до н. э. Карабах стал частью Армянского царства как провинция Арцах . В XIV веке возникло местное армянское руководство, состоящее из пяти знатных династий во главе с князьями, которые носили титулы меликов и назывались Хамса (пять по-арабски). Армянские мелики сохраняли контроль над регионом до XVIII века. В начале XVI века контроль над регионом перешел к династии Сефевидов , которая создала провинцию Гянджа-Карабах ( бейлербейство , bəylərbəylik). Несмотря на эти завоевания, население Верхнего Карабаха оставалось в основном армянским. [17]

Карабах перешел к Российской империи по Кюрекчайскому договору, подписанному между ханом Карабаха и царем Александром I в 1805 году, и позднее дополнительно оформленному русско-персидским Гюлистанским договором в 1813 году, прежде чем остальная часть Закавказья была включена в состав Империи в 1828 году по Туркменчайскому договору . В 1822 году Карабахское ханство было упразднено, и территория стала частью Елизаветпольской губернии в составе Российской империи .

После русской революции 1917 года Карабах стал частью Закавказской Демократической Федеративной Республики , но вскоре она распалась на отдельные Армянское , Азербайджанское и Грузинское государства. В течение следующих двух лет (1918–1920) между Арменией и Азербайджаном произошла серия коротких войн из-за нескольких регионов, включая Карабах. В июле 1918 года Первая Армянская Ассамблея Нагорного Карабаха объявила регион самоуправляемым и создала Национальный совет и правительство. [18] В сентябре 1918 года азербайджано-османские войска захватили город Шушу, столицу Карабахского совета , однако не смогли проникнуть в сельскую местность из-за усилий местных армян. [19] После Мудросского перемирия 30 октября 1918 года османские войска были обязаны уйти с Южного Кавказа , включая Шушу, после чего их гарнизон был дополнен британцами. 15 января 1919 года британский губернатор Баку генерал Томсон назначил Хосров-бека Султанова «генерал-губернатором Карабаха и Зангезура » в пределах Азербайджана, несмотря на то, что ни один из регионов не находился под полным контролем Азербайджана. 5 июня 1919 года из-за отказа Карабахской ассамблеи подчиниться азербайджанской власти, как предписано британским командованием, 2000 конных курдских нерегулярных отрядов во главе с Султан-беком Султановым — братом Хосрова — разграбили несколько армянских деревень в окрестностях Шуши, включая Хайбалыкенд , Кркеджан , Пахлиул, Джамиллу и несколько отдаленных деревень, что привело к гибели около 600 армян. В результате кровопролития Карабахский совет был вынужден подписать временное соглашение с азербайджанским правительством 22 августа 1919 года, подчиняясь их правлению в ожидании их окончательного статуса, определенного на Парижской мирной конференции . [20]

Поскольку Парижская мирная конференция не дала окончательного решения по вопросу территориальных споров на Южном Кавказе, 19 февраля 1920 года Хосров бек Султанов выдвинул ультиматум Карабахскому совету, чтобы дать согласие на постоянное включение региона в состав Азербайджана. Во время заседаний Восьмого съезда армян Карабаха с 28 февраля по 4 марта делегаты выразили недовольство азербайджанской администрацией и предупредили, что прибегнут к контрмерам, если их существованию будет угрожать опасность. [21] В последовавшем за этим восстании из-за безуспешной попытки местных армянских сил разоружить азербайджанские гарнизоны в Шуше и Ханкенде, в Шуше и Ханкенде произошел погром, в результате которого армянская половина города была разграблена и разрушена, армянское население выселено, а 500–20 000 убито. [22] [23] [24] [25] [26]

В апреле 1920 года, когда азербайджанская армия была заперта в Карабахе, сражаясь с местными армянскими силами, Азербайджан был захвачен большевиками . [17] Впоследствии спорные территории Нагорного Карабаха, Зангезура и Нахичевани перешли под контроль Армении. Однако в июле и августе 1920 года Красная Армия оккупировала горный Карабах, Зангезур и часть Нахичевани. Позже, по политическим причинам, Советский Союз согласился на раздел, согласно которому Зангезур перешел под контроль Армении, а Карабах и Нахичевань — под контроль Азербайджана. Кроме того, горной части Карабаха, которая стала называться Нагорным Карабахом, был предоставлен автономный статус Нагорно -Карабахской автономной области , что дало армянам больше прав, чем было предоставлено азербайджанцам в Армении [27], и позволило армянам назначаться на ключевые должности и посещать школы на своем родном языке.

С прочным контролем Советского Союза над регионом конфликт в регионе утих на несколько десятилетий. Армяне в Карабахе не подвергались существенным репрессиям. [27] Местные школы предлагали образование на армянском языке, но преподавали историю Азербайджана, а не историю армянского народа; население имело доступ к армяноязычному телевидению, транслировавшемуся каналом из Степанакерта, контролируемым из Баку, а позже и напрямую из Армении, хотя и неблагоприятным образом. [28] В отличие от Баку, случаи смешанных армяно-азербайджанских браков в Нагорном Карабахе были очень редки. [29] Автономия Нагорного Карабаха привела к росту армянского национализма и решимости армян требовать независимости. С началом распада Советского Союза в конце 1980-х и начале 1990-х годов вопрос о Нагорном Карабахе вновь возник.

Armenians in Ganja

The 69,000 Armenians of the Elizavetpol uezd (modern-day Dashkasan, Gadabay, Goranboy, and Shamkir districts) had in 1918 recognised Azerbaijani authority due to their geographically isolated position as a result of which Armenia was unable to incorporate them. As they had cooperated with Nuri Pasha's ultimatum to disarm and submit, the Armenians of Elizavetpol were not massacred, however, they experienced difficulties in tending to their fields (100 of whom were killed whilst doing so) and traversing roads where they were attacked by "disgruntled refugees" and "lawless bands" who were also raiding the properties of local khans and beys ("chiefs"; "lords").[30] On 9 April 1920, at the height of the Armenian–Azerbaijani war and the clashes in the Kazakh uezd, Azerbaijani soldiers burned the Armenian villages of Badakend (Balakend) and Chardakhly (Çardaqlı) in the district.[31]

According to Human Rights Watch, In 1991 Azerbaijani OMON and Soviet military forces jointly started "a campaign of violence to disperse Armenian villagers from areas north and south of Nagorno-Karabakh, a territorial enclave in Azerbaijan where Armenian communities have lived for centuries".[32]

"However, the unstated goal was to "convince" the villagers half are pensioners to relocate permanently in Armenia."[32] This military action was officially called "Operation Ring", because its basic strategy consists of surrounding villages (included Martunashen and Chaykand) with tanks and armored personnel carriers and shelling them. Azerbaijani villagers were allowed to come and loot the empty Armenian villages—by the end of the operation, more than ten thousand Armenian villagers were forced to leave Azerbaijan.[32]

The majority Armenian population started a movement that culminated in the unilateral declaration of independence.[clarification needed]

Armenians in Nakhchivan

Armenians had a historic presence in Nakhchivan (In Armenian Նախիջևան, Nakhijevan). According to an Armenian tradition, Nakhchivan was founded by Noah, of the Abrahamic religions. It became part of the Satrapy of Armenia under Achaemenid Persia c. 521 BC. In 189 BC, Nakhchivan was part of the new Kingdom of Armenia established by Artaxias I.[15] In 428, the Armenian Arshakuni monarchy was abolished and Nakhchivan was annexed by Sassanid Persia. In 623 AD, possession of the region passed to the Byzantine Empire. Nakhchivan itself became part of the autonomous Principality of Armenia under Arab control. After the fall of the Arab rule in the 9th century, the area became the domain of several Muslim emirates of Arran and Azerbaijan. Nakhchivan became part of the Seljuk Empire in the 11th century, followed by becoming the capital of the Atabegs of Azerbaijan in the 12th century. In the 1220s it was plundered by Khwarezmians and Mongols. In the 15th century, the weakening Mongol rule in Nakhchivan was forced out by the Turcoman dynasties of Kara Koyunlu and Ak Koyunlu.[15]

In the 16th century, control of Nakhchivan passed to the Safavid dynasty of Persia. In 1604, Shah Abbas I Safavi, concerned that the lands of Nakhchivan and the surrounding areas would pass into Ottoman hands, decided to institute a scorched earth policy. He forced the entire local population, Armenians, Jews and Muslims alike, to leave their homes and move to the Persian provinces south of the Aras River. Many of the deportees were settled in the neighborhood of Isfahan that was named New Julfa since most of the residents were from the original Julfa (a predominantly Armenian town).[15]

After the last Russo-Persian War and the Treaty of Turkmenchay, the Nakhchivan khanate passed into Russian possession in 1828. The Nakhchivan khanate was dissolved, and its territory was merged with the territory of the Erivan khanate and the area became the Nakhichevan uezd of the new Armenian Oblast, which was reformed into the Erivan Governorate in 1849. A resettlement policy implemented by the Russian authorities encouraged massive Armenian immigration to Nakhchivan from various parts of the Ottoman Empire and Persia. According to official statistics of the Russian Empire, by the turn of the 20th century Azerbaijanis made up 57% of the uezd's population, while Armenians constituted 42%.[citation needed]

During the Russian Revolution of 1905, conflict erupted between the Armenians and the Azerbaijanis, culminating in the Armenian-Tatar massacres. In the final year of World War I, Nakhchivan was the scene of more bloodshed between Armenians and Azerbaijanis, who both laid claim to the area. By 1914, the Armenian population was at 40% while the Azerbaijani population increased to roughly 60%. After the February Revolution, the region was under the authority of the Special Transcaucasian Committee of the Russian Provisional Government and subsequently of the short-lived Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic. When the TDFR was dissolved in May 1918, Nakhchivan, Nagorno-Karabakh, Zangezur (today the Armenian province of Syunik and part of Vayots Dzor), and Qazakh were heavily contested between the newly formed and short-lived states of the Democratic Republic of Armenia (DRA) and the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR). In June 1918, the region came under Ottoman occupation. Under the terms of the Armistice of Mudros, the Ottomans agreed to pull their troops out of the Transcaucasus to make way for the forthcoming British military presence.[33]

After a brief British occupation and the fragile peace they tried to impose, in December 1918, with the support of Azerbaijan's Musavat Party, Jafargulu Khan Nakhchivanski declared the Republic of Aras in the Nakhichevan uezd of the former Yerevan Governorate assigned to Armenia by Wardrop. The Armenian government did not recognize the new state and sent its troops into the region to take control of it. The conflict soon erupted into the violent Aras War. By mid-June 1919, however, Armenia succeeded in establishing control over Nakhchivan and the whole territory of the self-proclaimed republic. The fall of the Aras republic triggered an invasion by the regular Azerbaijani army and by the end of July, Armenian troops were forced to leave Nakhchivan City to the Azerbaijanis. In mid-March 1920, Armenian forces launched an offensive on all of the disputed territories, and by the end of the month both the Nakhchivan and Zangezur regions came under stable but temporary Armenian control. In July 1920, the 11th Soviet Red Army invaded and occupied the region and on July 28, declared the Nakhchivan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic with "close ties" to the Azerbaijan SSR. A referendum was called for the people of Nakhchivan to be consulted. According to the formal figures of this referendum,[citation needed] held at the beginning of 1921, 90% of Nakhchivan's population wanted to be included in the Azerbaijan SSR "with the rights of an autonomous republic." The decision to make Nakhchivan a part of modern-day Azerbaijan was cemented March 16, 1921, in the Treaty of Moscow between Bolshevist Russia and Turkey. The agreement between the Soviet Russia and Turkey also called for attachment of the former Sharur-Daralayaz uezd (which had a solid Azerbaijani majority) to Nakhchivan, thus allowing Turkey to share a border with the Azerbaijan SSR. This deal was reaffirmed on 23 October 1921 by the Treaty of Kars.

In the years following the establishment of Soviet rule, Nakhchivan saw a significant demographic shift. Its Armenian population gradually decreased as many emigrated. According to statistics published by the Imperial Russian government in 1916, Armenians made up 40% of the population of the Nakhchivan uezd.[34] The borders of the uezd were redrawn and in the 1926 all-Soviet census 11% of region's population was Armenian,.[35] By 1979 this number had shrunk to 1.4%. The Azerbaijani population, meanwhile increased substantially with both a higher birth rate and immigration (growing from 85% in 1926 to 96% by 1979). The Armenian population saw a great reduction in their numbers throughout the years repatriating to Armenia and elsewhere.

Some Armenian political groupings of the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian diaspora, among them most notably the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) claim that Nakhchivan should belong to Armenia. However, Nakhchivan is not officially claimed by the government of Armenia. But huge Armenian religious and cultural remnants are witness of the historic presence of Armenians in the Nakhchivan region. Recently the Medieval Armenian cemetery of Jugha (Julfa) in Nakhchivan, regarded by Armenians as the biggest and most precious repository of medieval headstones marked with Christian crosses – khachkars (of which more than 2,000 were still there in the late 1980s), has completely been destroyed by Azerbaijani soldiers in 2006.

Armenians in the Greater Caucasus slopes

A year prior to the Russian Revolution, there were 80 thousand Armenians,[36] whose ancestors migrated there in 15th–19th centuries,[citation needed] in the districts on the foothills of the Greater Caucasus Mountains (in the districts of Aresh, Geokchay, Nukha, Shemakha, and Zakatal),[36] the territory of all was inherited by Azerbaijan.[37] Most of the Armenian towns and villages in these districts were destroyed by the Azerbaijani–Ottoman advance against the Baku Commune in late 1918.[38] By 1919, 23 Armenian parochial schools in Shemakha had been closed, and slightly more than 10% of the district's pre-revolution Armenian population survived as evidenced by the 33 wagonloads of their bones. In the Aresh and Nukha districts of the Elizavetpol Governorate, only 3 of 51 Armenian and Udi villages remained, indicating the massacre of 25,000 and the kidnappings of thousands of Armenian girls and women by Azerbaijani and Turkish officers.[31] 48 Armenian villages were destroyed and the female population kidnapped and raped.[39] By 1919, only half of the two districts' Armenian population had survived, forced into the remaining three villages of Nidzh (Nij), Vardashen (Oğuz), and Jalut (Calut). The remaining villages were later destroyed in March 1920 in retaliation for the uprising in Nagorno-Karabakh—causing the survivors to flee up into the Greater Caucasus Mountains or to Georgia. Many of these Armenians were forced into labor by beys, and were often unable to reclaim their stolen possessions. One of the Armenian deputies in Azerbaijan's parliament denounced the treatment of the Armenians in the Greater Caucasus slopes, but their appeals were ignored by the government of Azerbaijan. 1,500 Armenians from this region were later resettle in the Etchmiadzin and Surmalu uezds ("counties") of Armenia.[31]

Conditions today

The Armenians still remaining in Azerbaijan practically live in virtual hiding, and have also changed their Armenian names and surnames to Azerbaijani names because they have to maintain an extremely low profile to avoid harassment and physical attacks. They have continued to complain (in private due to fear of attacks) that they remain subject to harassment and human rights violations and therefore have to hide their identity.[40] According to a 1993 United States Immigration and naturalization service report:[41]

It is clear that Armenians are the target of violence from societal forces and that the Azerbaijani government is unable or in some instances unwilling to control the violence or acts of discrimination and harassment. Some sectors of the government, such as the Department of Visas and Registrations mentioned above, appear unwilling to enforce the governments stated policy on minorities. As long as the Armenian-Azeri conflict over the fate of Karabakh continues, and possibly long after a settlement is reached, Armenian inhabitants of Azerbaijan will have no guarantees of physical safety.

A report by the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) released in May 2011 found that their conditions had barely improved. It found that:

...people of Armenian origin are at risk of being discriminated against in their daily lives. Certain people born of mixed Armenian-Azerbaijani marriages choose to use the name of their Azerbaijani parent so as to avoid problems in their contacts with officialdom; others who did not immediately apply for Azerbaijani identity documents when the former Soviet passports were done away with today encounter difficulties in obtaining identity papers.[42]

It further expressed concern over the "fact that the constant negative official and media discourse concerning the Republic of Armenia helps to sustain a negative climate of opinion regarding people of Armenian origin coming under the Azerbaijani authorities' jurisdiction."[42] It recommended that the government "work actively to improve the climate of opinion concerning Armenians coming under Azerbaijan’s jurisdiction."[42]

During the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War large parts of the Armenian-controlled Republic of Artsakh were captured by Azerbaijan.[43] While most of the Armenian residents fled in advance of the Azerbaijani army, with Armenian cities such as Hadrut being entirely depopulated, the few who remained behind were mistreated or even killed by Azerbaijani soldiers.[44] There have also been numerous reports that Armenian prisoners of war were tortured and nineteen were executed in captivity.[45][46] Armenian soldiers were also brutally mistreated, including multiple instances of beheadings recorded on video.[47]
