THE INTELLIGENCE-ESPIONAGE AND POLITICAL-DIPLOMATIC ACTIVITIES OF THE REPRESENTATION OF KEMALIST TURKEY IN THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA IN 1920-1922
Armenia has always been in the domain of the geopolitical interests of Turkey and Russia (Tsarist and Bolshevik). Both tried to make an influence on the geopolitical situation in the Republic of Armenia, being constantly informed about the ongoing processes through their secret services. The destructive espionage-conspiratorial activities of Turkish-Muslim spies, in general, Turkey, in the Republic of Armenia, mainly refer to the period between 1914 and 1920. A small part of far-sighted and moderate Bolsheviks soon realized that Turkey has not changed and there is nothing Bolshevik-revolutionary about them, that Kemalist Turkey is just the worthy heir of the Young Turks, which is engaged in the continuation of pan-Turkic plans. One of the best examples of this is the espionage activities carried out by Turkey in 1918-1920. And this time their goal was to destroy Soviet Armenia, continuing the destructive actions undertaken since the declaration of the First Republic, involving Azerbaijani spies as well. Most of the Armenian Bolsheviks did not understand this and believed that Kemalist Turkey was an ally of Soviet Russia and a stronghold for the spread of communism in the countries of the East, which had allegedly declared war on international imperialism, which had wrapped the Treaty of Sèvres around Turkey’s neck, against which allegedly “the Turkish worker had rebelled.” It was, of course, the greatest fraud and deception, which in practice benefited both Kemalist Turkey and Bolshevik Russia.
