From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Treaty of Batum, June 4, 1918, a treaty between Democratic Republic of Armenia and Ottoman Empire. Consisting of 14 articles. It is the first treaty of Armenia. The treaty was signed while Army of Islam held positions 7 kilometers from Yerevan and only 10 kilometers from Etchmiadzin.
Fifteen days after the treaty delegates from Armenia were asked to come to Constantinople. The treaty needed to be examined and confirmed with the Central Powers. The treaty was in diffuse as General Andranik was fighting against the Ottoman Empire with his army and declared Republic of Mountainous Armenia. General Andranik refused to accept the borders stated by the treaty.
In 1918, his activities were concentrated at the Karabakh-Zanghezur. It was the link between Ottoman Empire and Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. (see also: History_of_Nagorno-Karabakh#1918)
