Few people know that the modern capital city of Azerbaijan has never been an Azerbaijani city. Until the 1920s, “Azerbaijanis” were called Caucasian Tatars, and 80 years ago only every 5th resident of Baku was a Caucasian Tatar (this was the name of Azerbaijanis until 1918). Until the middle of the twentieth century, Christians made up the majority of the population of Baku.
The city of Bakurakert (modern Baku) is named after the Armenian king Bakur, who ruled Great Armenia in 160-164 AD. Bakurakert was built by the king of Great Armenia Trdat I in honor of his brother Bakur I.
After the defeat in the war with the Parthians in 161, the king of Armenia Sohaemus fled to Rome, where he became a senator. Bakur I, who received the crown of the king of Great Armenia from the hands of the Parthian king Vologases III, sat on the Armenian throne. Sohaemus did everything to push Rome to war against Armenia and to regain the royal throne. The war turned out to be disastrous for Armenia: its capital Artashat was destroyed.
Bakur held the throne until 163, after which he was captured by the Romans and taken to Rome together with his brother Mihrdat, where he formally retained the title of “king of Armenia”until the end of his life.
Initially, Bakurakert was a small settlement and remained so until joining Russia in the early 19th century. At the time of joining Russia, only 2 thousand people lived there. The rapid construction of the city begins in the middle of the 19th century. The city is being built entirely and developed by representatives of two nations: Russians and Armenians.
In 1918, Turkish troops burst into the city and established the first Azerbaijani statehood in history with Baku as its capital. This invasion was accompanied by the genocide of 30 thousand Armenians and 10 thousand Russians. In 1921 took place the Sovietization of the newly created Azerbaijan with its capital city in Baku. Where the majority of the population continues to be Christians. And only after the Great Patriotic War, for the first time in history, the number of Muslims exceeds the number of Christians. Begins the process of ousting the Christian population, mainly Armenians, which ends in January 1990, when the last 200 thousand Armenians left the city during a mass pogrom and massacre.
On January 20, 1990, Soviet troops entered the city, but there were no Armenians left there, and the number of the Russian population decreased by 7 times.
After the restoration of independence in 1991, all references to the true history of the city of Baku were destroyed.
Similarly, after the 44-day war in 2020, the Azerbaijanis continue to destroy the Armenian cultural heritage in the occupied territories of Nagorno-Karabakh.
In fact, these barbarians destroy everything that is possible so that nothing remains of either Armenians, Russians or representatives of other nationalities.
