Die Daten zeigen die Absurdität ihres Standpunkts. Selbst wenn wir das gesamte Gebiet berücksichtigen, waren die Armenier immer noch die größte Bevölkerungsgruppe. Und Aserbaidschaner vergessen oft, dass das alte Zangezur nicht nur die heutige Provinz Syunik, sondern auch Teile des heutigen Aserbaidschans umfasste. Wenn man nur den Teil berücksichtigt, der nach Armenien gelangte, besteht kein Zweifel daran, dass die Armenier die absolute Mehrheit waren, die in der Region beheimatet waren und dort seit jeher lebten.

The thing I often like to point out is that even before Russia got ahold of the region back in 1813, Syunik and especially the parts that are in the modern republic still had an Armenian majority. Also, it wouldn’t surprise me if Azerbaijan tries to include Kurds into their statistics to make it seem like Azerbaijanis made up the majority at the time. Just as a side note but I never really realized just how built up Kapan was during Soviet times. Part of me wishes that Goris was made the capital of Syunik province again as Goris isn’t as close to the border.
The thing about using these kinds of maps at all to decide who should get one is that they are inherently unfair to Armenians, because across the entire massive region (Caucasus, the Armenian Highlands, Cilicia, Anatolia, northern Persia and Mesopotamia) we tended to be minorities. Sure we had some areas where we were the majority, but moreso we were minorities spread more thinly and widely than the Azeris, Georgians, etc. So if you simply split the Caucasus based on where we were a majority, we’d get almost nothing. Look at this map of the ethnic groups of the Caucasus in 1887 for example: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/58/Komaroff._Carte_ethnologique_du_Caucase%2C_dress%C3%A9e._1887.jpg
We’re spread into pockets ALL OVER. In the Caucasus mountains of Eastern Azerbaijan, in Abkhazia, in wine country of Georgia, around Tbilisi, in a pocket south of Batumi, and even well up the coast and inland parts of Russia, there are pockets of Armenians.
So when finally you start to slice up regions „by ethnic group“, we get fucked, which we did, again and again. Punishment for not all bunching up in one area, as if that is a crime. Then Azeris will post maps trying to show that they are the ones who got screwed by focusing on smaller parts of Armenia, but totally leaving out the context and the big picture. I don’t even think most of them are trying to spin what happened, I think they’re just ignorant and it’s easy not to understand what was happening beyond the national borders people are used to today.
