You didn't know that there were Armenians living outside of Karabakh? May I remind you that there was a sizable Armenian population in Baku. I'll get you the quote in a little bit.

As per rules, I'm moving the following quote to the talk until the accurate quote from the indicated source is provided. I was unable to find this quote in the source mentioned:
In 1720's the population of Shemakhi was about 60,000, most of whom were Armenians and strangers
Which rules would that be? I only found rules about removing unsourced material. In any case here is the quote
It is however supposed to contain near 60,000 inhabitants chiefly Armenians and strangers, whom the pleasantness of the country and traffic have invited thither.
