Black Garden: Armenia and Azerbaijan through Peace and War ( PDFDrive )


Party official, made an outspokenly anti-Moscow speech in Baku on 8 January, 
as the trouble was beginning. This was the cue for several members of the 
Popular Front to propose that he should replace Vezirov—perhaps at Aliev’s 
instigation, if this supposition is correct. In the event, Hasanov was defeated in 
a straight vote against Mutalibov, although he later became Aliev’s foreign 
minister. After the bloodshed, Aliev also welcomed Etibar Mamedov at the 
Azerbaijani representative’s office in Moscow, shortly before Mamedov was 
arrested. For some who have plotted Aliev and Mamedov’s strange history of 
opposition and collaboration, this marked the beginning of an alliance be-
tween them.

17.  According to Major General A. Zaitsev, commander of Soviet Internal 
Forces in Nagorny Karabakh, 
It became clear that the Internal Forces would not retreat one step from 
the law and a firm barrier would be placed against the looting carried 
out by the OMONites. Then the 23rd Motorized Division of the Soviet 
Ministry of Defense, consisting 80 percent of Azerbajianis, was called

in to carry out acts of forced deportation of Armenians. After that the 
situation radically changed: the Azerbaijani leadership resorted to a 
new tactic. Before the beginning of a deportation the state of emer­
gency was canceled in the given region. We were forced to withdraw 
our units, after which the Azerbaijani side carried out ‘special opera­
tions’ about which we were not even informed.

4.  Thomson has been rather demonized by Armenian historians for im­
posing a de facto Azerbaijani rule over Karabakh, which then carried over into 
the Communist era. The archives suggest that he was acting more out of an in­
stinct for stability than any Armenophobia: while believing that it was best to 
keep Azerbaijan’s control over Karabakh, Thomson also cabled London, argu­
ing that the Armenians should be given territory in eastern Turkey.
