The fall of the autocracy in Russia in February 1917 was the reason for significant military and political, social and economic changes in Persia and changes in the life of the Persian Armenians. In the context of the ongoing World War in Persia, the status of military and political, economic and financial control of Russia, England, Germany and the Ottoman Empire continued to dominate, and the threat of loss of the country's sovereignty was obvious. All these processes influenced all sectors of the life of Persian Armenians, in particular, social-economic and social-political.

Along with the imposition of the marzpan system (administrative unit) on the regional countries, the Persian royal court, from the middle of the 5th century, made an attempt to eradicate Christianity and establish Zoroastrianism in Armenia, Caucasian Albania and Virk. But, as expected, this caused a confrontation between the above mentioned countries, which culminated in an uprising. Trying to force them to submit to their will, the Persian army led by Sebukht captured Caucasian Albania in the early autumn of 450, but in October of the same year, Armenian army under the command of sparapet (supreme commander of the armed forces) Vardan Mamikonyan dealt a crushing blow to the numerically superior Persian army and liberated Caucasian Albania.

The census is an important source of accurate information about the population of a state. The first All-Union census in the USSR was held in 1926. This census differed from both previous and subsequent censuses in the principles used to determine the national composition of the population guided solely by the principle of self-determination. As a result, 191 nationalities were registered throughout the USSR. However, difficulties have also arisen in registering some ethnic groups.

The Karabakh dialect is one of the most distinctive Armenian dialects. Alongside original Armenian words, it contains a substantial number of borrowings from Persian, which have Iranian origin as well as Arabic and Turkic. This is quite natural, given the geographical proximity of Artsakh to the northern regions of Iran and intensive contacts with Iranian state and administrative structures during the period of melikdoms.
