First of all, this is related to the position of Azerbaijan in the modern system of international relations. Its integration into Western countries and international organizations and other factors make it necessary to re-examine the Zangezur issue in Azerbaijan-Armenia relations between the end of 1919 and 1920. During the Russian occupation, the Azerbaijani people, who were a source of danger for the statehood of Azerbaijan, were subject to ethnic cleansing and territorial loss. Therefore, the history of Azerbaijan in the 19th (...) and 20th centuries was remembered with threats against the ethnic unity, territorial integrity and statehood tradition of our people. According to the historical circumstances, the deportations and violent territorial cleansing directed against the Azerbaijani people by the political leadership of Russia were different in form and the same in content. Studying the topic in Azerbaijani historiography is one of the important issues. Historical literature involved in the study of the topic can be divided into 5 groups: 1. Scientific works published during the Republic of Azerbaijan; 2. Historical works related to the historiography of Soviet Azerbaijan; 3. Works published in foreign and immigration historiography; 4. Works published in Azerbaijani historiography from the restoration of independence to the present day; 5. Journalistic articles and Internet resources. The Zangezur issue in the Azerbaijan-Armenian conflict during the republic period was mainly given in official documents, reports, works, journalistic writings, and memoirs of the founders of the Republic, including Armenian historiography that falsified the relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia in 1919-1920.
