because they were Turkish-speaking Muslims.
Access to the Black Sea, as far as I can assume, and possibly beyond.
Batumi was sitting comfortably on a Turkish majority back then.
Any place that had turkish/turkic majority but wasn’t controlled by Turks, , at that moment including former Ottoman territories, was claimed by Azerbaijan
Look up Wiki articles: Azerbaijanis of Turkey, Meskhetian Turks and Azerbaijanis of Georgia.
Meshketian Turks. Stalin made sure we never heard from them again
Because of Muslim populations not necessarily ethnicity or language, at least with respect to Adjaran areas.
Its part of negotiating. Start with the maximalist territorial demands, then „concede“ some of the lands you never actually intended to aquire as part of a „compromise“ as the negotiations continue.
Meshketian Turks and Adjarians
Yea well everyone had maximalist claims. They later refined and conceded. Especially with Georgia and the Ottomans. Set to happen with Armenians too but their republic is basically conglomeration of warlords with extemely clashing ideals like Andranik absolutely axed the entire infinitive. Agreement was something along the lines of leaving Goycha, conceding Goycha, Erivan and later carving up Karabakh. Shit went to drain the moment Andranik forces ethnically cleansed Zangazur and made incursions to both Nakhchivan and Karabakh. Which prompted immediate response from Khosrov Bey who crushed their forces in Karabakh.
Because Azerbaijan is a fake country controlled by the corrupt Aliyev family which is an Israeli puppet. Azerbaijan was separated from Iran in 1813 and will be rejoined soon to its motherland.
