At present, the Armenian-Turkish state border is regulated by the Russian-Turkish “Treaty of friendship and brotherhood” signed on March 16, 1921 in Moscow. If in the Soviet Armenian historical science it was evaluated from the perspective of the political and ideological interests of the Soviet state, then the conclusions of the scientists of the Armenian Diaspora were and remain based on the national and state interests of the Armenians.

In Autumn 1920, the Armenian army was severely defeated by Kemalist troops. On November 17. 1920, the Turkish army entered the city of Alexandropol and organized the Revolutionary Committee consisting of local Communists, which in fact became an appendage of the invaders. The residents of the city and the province were subjected to daily illegal actions by the enemy: arrests, confiscations of property, murders. All diplomatic notes or statements of the leadership of Soviet Armenia remained unanswered.
