The Manufactured Geography of Azerbaijan

 

A summary prepared by the author Ara Khachig Manoogian

On October 22, 2026, the Jerusalem Post told its readers that Russian advances in the South Caucasus “split Azerbaijan in two,” and called for a grand alliance of Greece, Cyprus, Israel, Kurdistan, and “a united Azerbaijan.” This paper tests that story against the record: the treaties, the founding declaration, the League of Nations file, the Soviet protocols, and the orders of the International Court of Justice.

Neither the Treaty of Gulistan of 1813 nor the Treaty of Turkmenchay of 1828 calls the lands ceded to Russia “Azerbaijan.” The one time the name appears in either treaty, it refers to the Iranian province south of the Aras. The republic that took the name was proclaimed in Tiflis on May 28, 1918, and Iran objected: the new government used the term “Caucasian Azerbaijan” abroad to calm Iranian concern, and in 1920 Tabriz renamed its own province to separate it from the new state. In December 1920 the League of Nations found that Azerbaijan’s frontiers could not be defined and declined to admit it. The paper carries the same test into the present: Israel’s 69 percent share of Azerbaijan’s major arms imports in 2016–2020, the Silk Way cargo flights into Israel’s Ovda airbase in the days before the September 2023 assault on Artsakh, the disclosure record of Brenda Shaffer, and President Aliyev’s declaration that “present-day Armenia is our land.” A historical name is not a deed to another nation’s territory. Read the paper, and know the record before the next map is drawn.

Pashinyan, The Mossad, And IDF’s Unit 8200

Image
  This is not my first article from this forum conveying the clear characteristics of the existing collusion, between Israel-more specifically unit 8200 of the IDF, and the “Collaborationist Enemy Appeasing Regime” of the Pashinyan government, from 2018 to the present. In February 2022, I published an article titled “ Why Did PM Pashinyan Purchase an Israeli Pegasus Spyware?” and pointed out that by purchasing the spyware known as “Pegasus,” Armenia’s Prime Minister placed under the control of the Mossad and Unit 8200, the entire cellular network of Armenia. For Pashinyan, “Pegasus” was the ideal opportunity to monitor surreptitiously the general political discourse in the country, and collect sensitive details about any opposition figure, journalist, clergy of The Armenian Apostolic Church , determined to hold the Prime Minister accountable for the disastrous outcome of the 44-Day War that claimed the lives of 5,000 brave Armenian soldiers. For Israel, a countr...

Monte Melkonian And The Controversial Claims About His Death

Image
  Monte Melkonian, was a legendary military commander who earned his rightful place in the pantheon of Armenian heroes who fought in the First Artsakh War (1989-1994). Monte the revolutionary joined Artsakh’s Self-Defense Forces as a volunteer in October 1990. By the time he died in June 1993 he had reached the rank of Lt. Colonel. According to the records of The Ministry of Defence of The Republic of Armenia Monte was awarded “...the NKR Battle Cross Order of 1st degree (posthumous, 23.11.1993). National Hero of Armenia (posthumous, 20.09.1996). He was awarded the highest Order of the Republic of Armenia. Hero of Artsakh (21.09.1999). Awarded with Golden Eagle Order.” Monte “The Legend”, displayed exceptional leadership qualities that embodied bravery, resilience, brilliance in turning tactical successes into strategic victories, and a charisma that set him apart from the 4,000 soldiers he commanded in the Shahumian and Aghdam regions. Monte “The Intellectual” “... was like ...

Should we know why we lost the 44-Day War? Or should we allow critical findings to be buried in the “SECRET” archives of Armenia’s National Assembly?

Image
  During a speech to the British parliament in 1948, Sir Winston Churchill paraphrased a statement made by Spanish philosopher George Santayana, and emphasized to his audience the fact that "Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." It seems that Civil Contract Party MPs, study history not to understand and avoid critical mistakes that claimed the lives of 5,000 brave Armenian soldiers in 2020, but to absolve the architect of the “Engineered Defeat”- Nikol Pashinyan from any responsibility by burying secret documents in the archives of Armenia’s National Assembly (NA). Armenia’s parliamentarians do not feel the need to learn anything from history, and honestly do not give a hoot if the political leadership of Armenia repeats the same mistakes of 2020, and another 10,000 lives are lost in the future upheavals that will shake the South Caucasus if Iran emerges triumphant from the “War of Choice” launched by Israel and America in February 2026.

Why Did PM Pashinyan Purchase an Israeli Pegasus Spyware?

Image
  In September-November 2021, multiple media outlets in Armenia published articles informing the public at large about a badly miscalculated decision made by PM Pashinyan to purchase from Israel a spyware (Pegasus), designed to eavesdrop on unsuspecting Armenian smart phone users who are not involved in any criminal activity, nor by any stretch of imagination represent a threat to the national security of Armenia. “ Yerevan Today” published an article titled “ Eavesdropping is carried out by the Pegasus spy program in Armenia, Pashinyan had purchased a $ 7 million Pegasus system" , to highlight the fact that “It is officially confirmed that Armenia has acquired a Pegasus spy program, which carries out illegal wiretapping... at least two people in Armenia received a warning letter from Apple that Pegasus spyware was installed on their phones.” “ Hrabarag” released a similar warning to Armenians to emphasize the fact that “ Nikol Pashinyan has spent $7 million to bu...

PM Pashinyan & The Israeli PARAGON Spyware

Image
  Meta's WhatsApp says Israeli spyware company Paragon targeted users By Raphael Satter January 31, 2025 Reuters In February 2022 I wrote an article emphasizing the fact that PM Pashinyan purchased from Israel the “Pegasus Spyware” , not to thwart threats emanating from terrorist or Turkish and Azeri agents roaming the streets of Yerevan, but simply to monitor the activities of opposition members, academics, and journalists who do not parrot his grandiose views of his achievements. for more details use the following link https://artsakhtheinadequateresponse.blogspot.com/2022/02/why-did-pm-pashinyan-purchase-israeli.html In January 2023, one more time I wrote about Pashinyan’s successful attempt to expand his surveillance network, by purchasing from Israel again the “Cognyte Spyware" .

Pashinyan, The Normalcy Bias, And The Boiling Frog

Image
  It all started with an interesting Facebook article published by Hovik Manucharyan on 18 Jan 2026. here is the unedited full text: Normalcy Bias ! It is the belief that because things look “normal” today, they will remain so tomorrow, even when all the warning signs point to the opposite. History provides several examples of this phenomenon: - Kodak celebrated quarterly profits while digital photography quietly rendered its core business obsolete. - Nokia dominated the global mobile phone market but failed to recognize the strategic shift that ultimately erased its dominance. - Blockbuster focused on optimizing store performance while its entire business model was being replaced. The same pattern appears in states and societies. Yes, life is busy. Careers must be built. Families must be supported. Wine festivals must be attended. Geopolitics feels “above our pay grade.” Someone else will handle it. And this folks, is how slow-motion disasters happen. Wh...

Armenia is a “Democracy”. Why does PM Pashinyan need so many Spywares?

  In an article titled “ Why Did PM Pashinyan Purchase an Israeli Pegasus Spyware?” published back in February 19, 2022 https://artsakhtheinadequateresponse.blogspot.com/2022/02/why-did-pm-pashinyan-purchase-israeli.html I did warn all Armenians who do not parrot the good views expressed by PM Pashinoglu about his disastrous achievements, that their smartphone can become the target of a close surveillance by The National Security Service (NSS) of Armenia, even if they are not involved in any criminal activities. Pashinoglu purchased the “Pegasus Spyware” from Israel not to ward off threats targeting the national security of Armenia, but to silence any opposition that seriously hampers his obsession with consolidating power in The Office of The Prime Minister of Armenia, and allow his “Collaborationist” government to engage in disinformation campaigns designed to promote to the ignorant masses the following points: a) Artsakh is a heavy burden on Armenia. It must be returned ...

Can A Bad Tree Like Pashinyan Give Armenia Good Fruits?

Image
  “ For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit.  Each tree is known by its own fruit, for figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush.  The good man out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure produces evil; for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:43-45 )   If we apply the words of The Lord “ Each tree is known by its own fruit...” to Nikol Pashinyan, what are the bitter fruits that he shoved down the throat of the Armenian nation? Pashinyan masterminded and implemented the “Engineered Defeat” of the 44-Day War. The bitter fruit served to the Armenian nation; 5,000 brave Armenian soldiers lost their lives simply because Pashinyan refused to stop the war in early October 2020.
