When the Armenian historical falsifiers and “storytellers” told representatives of other nations (including Georgians) the “history of Armenia”, which does not mention either Caucasian Albania or the Azerbaijani states at all, many in Georgia believed that this would not affect them. Well, the historians of the "ancient people" are obsessed with their "antiquity" and "greatness." But Georgians had their own history and their own state. It seemed so simple to “cross out” it would not work.

But nothing is impossible for Armenian falsifiers. Especially in relation to those lands that they consider to be “Armenian” and in relation to which they do not even hide their plans for separatist rebellions and annexation to “Great Armenia”.

And now, on social networks, the so-called “JAVAHK HISTORY” is spreading among Armenian nationalists and separatists from Georgian Samtskhe-Javakheti with the appeal “Armenians from Javakhk show an asset”. We give fully this so-called "short course of the separatist":

“Javakhk is a historically Armenian region in the southern part of Georgia, which has remained forgotten in our current desire to help our country grow and prosper.

The earliest mention of Javakhk can be found in Urartian sources, in the records of the Armenian king Argishti I in 785 BC, under his former name Zabakh.

In antiquity, Javakhk remained under the control of the kingdoms of the Artashes and Arshakids and was at that time part of the province of Gugark of Greater Armenia until 428. Gugark was the 13th of the 15 provinces of Great Armenia.

After the fall of the kingdom of Arshakids, the Georgian state annexed the territory of the Gugark, including Javakhk. Despite foreign dominion, the Armenian Church retained its influence in Georgia.

Over the next couple of hundred years, Javakhk fell under the invasion of the Arabs, but was eventually liberated by the Armenian Bagratids. In the Middle Ages, Javakhk faced the invasions of the Seljuks, Mongols, Ottomans, and Persians.

Between 1828 and 1829, during the war between the Ottoman and Russian empires, the conquest of the provinces of Javakhk, Akhalkalak, and Akhaltsikh was of great importance on the military agenda of both parties.

As a result of the war, Russia took possession of both areas. The Russian occupation turned out to be beneficial for those who had previously left these areas since they had the opportunity to return to their villages and restore them.

The Armenians benefited from the Russian occupation, and in 1829, 58,000 Armenians from the provinces of Ardagan, Erzurum, and Basen left their homes under the leadership of Archbishop Karapet Bagratuni and settled in the provinces of Akhaltsikh and Akhalkalak. The arrival of the Armenians of Western Armenia significantly increased the number of Armenians in Javakhk.
Although historically Armenians have always lived here, the Armenian population has increased dramatically in the 1830s. The Armenians of Western Armenia imposed their dialect, culture, and traditions on the locals, which eventually led to a mixed culture.

In addition to the already existing Armenian villages, the Armenians of Erzurum together with the locals founded more than 50 new villages in Javakhk. This influx of Armenians, who were especially concentrated in Akhalkalak and Akhaltsikh, marked a turning point in the Transcaucasian region.

By the 1880s, Armenians made up the vast majority in historical Javakhk, especially in the regions of Akhalkalak, Akhaltsikh, and Borchali. The number of Armenian churches in Javakhk during this period also exceeded 100.
Catholicos of All Armenians Mkrtich Khrimyan (Khrimyan Hayrik) visited various regions of Javakhk and discussed reforms with Russian officials. The opening of schools and colleges began, and a literary circle began to form.
After the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, the Armenian communities of Javakhk felt compassion for their compatriots from Western Armenia and as a result began a movement to assist villages in Western Armenia.
In the 1890s, various groups of the liberation movement were founded, and the Armenian Revolutionary Federation “Dashnaktsutyun” and the Social Democratic Party “Gnchak” expanded their activities to Javakhk. Dashnaktsutyun paid priority attention to national issues and gained many followers in Javakhk, while Gnchak attached particular importance to the issues of the land of peasants.

Relations between Western Armenia and the Javakhk Armenians are becoming stronger and stronger, and many young men began to form armed groups to take part in the liberation of Western Armenia.
After the Armenian Genocide, large groups of Armenians of Western Armenia, who left their homes, settled in the provinces of Javakhk. By 1914, there were almost 83,000 Armenians in the region”.

What do we see?

Firstly, in this “History of Javakhk” Georgia as a state is mentioned only 3 times. The first time it is said about the current location of "Javakhk" ("temporary" as Armenian nationalists probably think). For the second time - that "the Georgian state annexed the territory of the Gugark, including Javakhk" (that is, the Georgians annexed their own land!) And finally, for the third time about the" Armenian influence in Georgia".

That’s all! Georgia is no longer mentioned! As if such a country almost the entire “History of Javakh” except for the period of “annexation” did not exist.

As for the Georgians, they are not mentioned at all in the History of Javakhk as a people! Arabs, Persians, Seljuks, Mongols, Ottomans are mentioned, but Georgians are not mentioned. It turns out that there were no such people in Samtskhe-Javakheti (in the terminology of Armenian nationalists in “Javakhk”)!

The resettlement of Armenians in 1830 (when they in fact first appeared in Samtskhe-Javakheti) is said in such a way that they seemed to be “added” to the Armenians already allegedly living here.

Armenian nationalists also do not forget about claims to Georgian shrines - the “History of Javakhk” reports on the allegedly “exceeded 100” number of “Armenian” churches, and Georgian churches actually captured and appropriated during the time of the Russian Empire.

Georgian society should understand that such nationalist-separatist tales are not harmless at all. Such “fairy tales” and “stories” began the Karabakh, Abkhaz and Tskhinvali conflicts.

There is a threat of a separatist explosion in Samtskhe-Javakheti today. Especially if you continue to allow provocateurs to spread here among the Armenian population, and so infected with nationalism and separatism, false myths that this land, where the Armenians settled only in 1830, was supposed "primordially Armenian."
