History

With the dissolution of the Transcaucasian Federation, the new-born Republic of Armenia was forced to stand alone against the Turkish might. Eventually the Republic of Armenia was able to secure peace through the Treaty of Batumi, but only after making some painful territorial concessions to the Ottoman Empire. This short-lived peace only lasted for 8 years when the Turkish Army invaded and occupied whole of Armenia in 1926. The Ottomans' original intention of the war was to erase the First Republic of Armenia from the map completely, but after occupying the country for two years, with mounting internal tensions within the Empire, the Sublime Porte decided to accept the existence of the Armenian State, albeit as a puppet of the Empire. In June 1928, the Second Armenian Republic, headed by General Drastamat Kanayan, signed a formal peace treaty with the Ottoman Empire. By 1936, the Second Republic achieved economic and political stability, but under the surface the country remains something of a 'powder-keg' for it’s Ottoman masters.
