Abstract

After the bourgeois-democratic revolution of February 1917, the Russian Empire disintegrated. The three republics of the Caucasus were united into a single Transcaucasian Federal-Democratic Republic. But its existence was short-lived. Soon the Federal Republic disintegrated and on its ruins, three states emerged almost simultaneously. The need for demarcation of borders arose with the emergence of independent states, but the Dashnak authorities' baseless territorial claims and attempts to forcibly annex Georgian lands led to a conflict known in history as the Armenian-Georgian War.The aim of this paper is to present the groundlessness of the territorial claims of the Armenian authorities on the basis of historical sources, scientific and literary data, the tendentious nature of the works of Armenian authors published on this topic and an attempt to present history through a prism.
