Summary/Abstract: Russian advance in Caucasia culminated badly for Karabakh Khanate and for the other khantes which were located in Caucasia. According to Kürekçay Treaty (1805), after having Karabakh Khanate dependent on itself, Russia systematically and permanently stepped into Caucasia and led up to invade. After signing the Türkmençay Treaty (1828) due to immigration term, Russians located Armenians in Caucasia. Armenians started to occupy lands and showed aggression towards Turkish people. Russia turned a blind eye to Armenians’ actions, furthermore encouraged them by cooperating with them. In order to achieve their goals, Armenians started attacking and slaughtering people. Azerbaijan Turks, who suffered from these actions, assembled for defending themselves, however due to lack of organization comparing to Armenians, their struggles remained insufficient. Thousands of Azerbaijan Turks were forced to leave their homelands and women and children were killed by Armenian mobs. The unsolvable Karabakh question has started since then and grew till today. In this article, Russian advance in Caucasia, Armenian immigration to Caucasia, onwards the aggressive politics of Armenians and Nagorno-Karabakh question have been examined in detail.
