Summary/Abstract: Today, one of the major problems in the Caucasus Region is the Armenian nationalism problem. It is known that during the last two centuries and with the support of Russia, Armenian migration has occurred on Azerbaijani territories. It is a fact that the Armenians founded their own state on Azerbaijan territories after the migration. Of course, the Armenians have distorted the truth and ignored the historical evidence and have claimed that Azerbaijan's territory is really Armenian land. But the important thing to remember is that during the last two hundred years 2.5 million Azerbaijanians have been massacred as a result of the Armenian genocide. Another problem in the Caucasus Region is the Armenian-Georgian ethnic problem.Armenians call Georgia’s territory a former Armenian province and claim that a large portion of Armenia along with Tbilisi belong to Armenia. This study has tried to look behind the scenes at the problems which arose in Azerbaijan and Georgia after Russian domination was established.
