44 days that changed Azerbaijan

On the fifth anniversary of the start of the Patriotic War of 2020, which is today, I would like to begin the inglorious obituary of the Armenian "miatsum" by refreshing some key dates related to Karabakh separatism specifically during the Soviet period.

This is stated in a new segment of the analytical YouTube project Caliber.

The first date is July 5, 1921, when the "Caucasian Bureau," so to speak, "decided" to end the claims of Soviet Armenia on Karabakh, leaving the region as part of Azerbaijan.

The second date is July 18, 1988, when the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, having considered the appeal of the Supreme Soviet of the Armenian SSR from June 15 of that year and the decision of the Supreme Soviet of the Azerbaijan SSR on the unacceptability of transferring the NKAO to the Armenian SSR from June 17, resolved to be guided by Article 78 of the USSR Constitution and not change the borders of a union republic without its consent.

The third date is December 1, 1989, when a session of the Supreme Soviet of the Armenian SSR, ignoring the mentioned decision of the higher union body, unilaterally decided to include the NKAO in the republic.

Then on September 2, 1991, a session of the regional council of the NKAO, still unilaterally and in violation of both union and republican legislation, proclaimed a certain republic, announcing its withdrawal from... "for some reason" Azerbaijan (we deliberately say "for some reason," because by that time the separatists had obviously forgotten that a year and a half earlier they had already "reunified with Armenia"; that is, logically, they should now actually be withdrawing from Armenia, if we are to believe their previous announcements).
