Re Qazakh
Dear Khoikhoi, thanks for your mediation effort on this one. I agree to the general spirit of text you posted. But I would like to hightlight some corrections/additions, which I highlighted in bold below:
1. Under the Russian Empire, the rayon was an north-eastern part of the Kazakh uyezd of the Elisavetpol guberniya.
2. User:Aivazovsky needs to cite the references where he got the figures 39% Armenians and 57% Azerbaijanis from.
3. This sentence does not reflect the historical reality:
"After the British left and more fighting between Armenians and Azeris ensued, Bolshevik forces gained control of the region and annexed it to the Soviet Union"
Britons have left Caucasus in 1919, while Bolsheviks took over Azerbaijan (first in Caucasus) on April 28, 1920, Armenia was taken by Bolsheviks in November 1920. Soviet Union was created in 1922. So obviously Bosheviks could not have annexed it to the Soviet Union. Kazakh uyezd was part of Azerbaijan (Elisavetpol governorate was designated so by Britons), which under Bolshevik rule was divided between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
4. "Neither country has disputed this boundary since" quote is not true. Armenia occupied one of the exclaves of Kazakh rayon, called Yuxari Askipara during 1991-1994 active phase of war.
