Book by Uzbek Historian "Dashnaks from Ferghana to Karabakh" Published in Baku

Baku / 18.11.19 / Turan: A study by an Uzbek publicist and historian Shukhrat Barlas (Salamov) was published in Baku, titled Dashnaks from Ferghana to Karabakh. The book highlights the crimes of the Dashnaks in the territories of the Turkic peoples.

The author began to collect facts about Dashnak crimes since 1992. The events in the book described in Central Asia took place against the backdrop of Russian colonization of Turkestan. The biggest wave of violence began with the arrival of Armenian armed forces in the region along with the Bolsheviks.

From 1917 to 1918 there was Turkestan Autonomy destroyed by terrorists from Dashnaktsutyun with the assistance of the Bolsheviks, the author writes. Barbarian methods were used to destroy the carriers of the idea of ​​Turkestan. The massacre organized by the Dashnaks in the Ferghana Valley in 1918 is well known in history.

In those same years, the Dashnaks actively promoted the idea of ​​tearing away Azerbaijani lands, which led to the complete destruction of the population of more than 30 Azerbaijani villages in Zangezur. The organizer of this genocide, Garegin Nzhdeh, is now immortalized in Armenia.

In the second half of the XIX - early XX centuries, Armenians were actively settled in Turkestan. The Armenian question on the eve of the First World War was of central importance for Russia. Nevertheless, Russian officers in numerous documents recorded the crimes of Armenians against the peaceful Muslim population. So, in Kokand, after the arrival of the Dashnaks, all the shops were destroyed and massacres took place. "In Andijan, the search continued for a whole week, accompanied by robbery, murder and rape." The population of Kokand from 120 thousand people in 1897 was reduced to 69,300 by 1926. The city was destroyed and burned. Dashnaks burned the hospital along with the patients and the staff. 50 workers of the Kokand cotton factory were killed with their families.   -0-
