The use of Armenian nationalism by Iran started with the first Shah of the Pahlavi dynasty, but the Islamic Republic of Iran developed and intensified those ties. Building on the success of Azerbaijan in the April conflict of 2016, the liberation of its previously occupied territories in 2020, the full reconstitution of the Türkiye–Azerbaijan–Israel triangle, and the weakening of Russia since 2022, this article explains the reinforcement of the ties between the partners and the unprecedented rise of Iranian aggressiveness against Azerbaijan.

Fransız, Amerikan ile İngiliz arşivleri ve Türk ile İtalyan yayınlanmış kaynaklar vasıtasıyla yapılmış bir araştırmayı temel alan bu yazı farklı tezleri değerlendirmekte ve yangın için evrensel bir açıklamayı savunmaktadır ve araştırma kapsamını kronolojik ve coğrafi açıdan genişletme ihtiyacını savunmaktadır. Yangın Yunan ordusunun 1921De ortaya çıkan ve 1922 yazında geniş ölçüde uygulanan arazi yakma politikasının sonucudur. Ancak, diğer yıkımların aksine, iş şehrin Ermeni ihtilalci milliyetçilerine bırakılmıştı.

It finished a 23-years cycle that had begun with the court cases against Bernard Lewis in 1994-1995: The Anglo-Saxon historian was acquitted in four of them, sentenced for one civil case, in the name of a case law canceled in 2005. Even before Prof. Lewis was sentenced, bills were introduced in the Parliament, in vain until 2011. The Boyer bill was adopted, unlike the previous ones, in 2011-2012, but was immediately censored by the Constitutional Council, which maintained its position in a preliminary ruling on the issue of constitutionality (regarding Holocaust denial) in 2016. Correspondingly, the European Court of Human Rights found the conviction of Doğu Perinçek unjustified, and 1915 to be a matter of debates. The decision of 2017 is the culmination of this national and international case law, the ultimate confirmation of the freedom for historical research.
