July 5, 1921 – the adoption of an unlawful decision to join Artsakh to Azerbaijan at a meeting of the Caucasian Bureau of the Communist party of Russia, not taking into account the relevant decision of the League of Nations and the opinion of the people of Artsakh as a democratic tool for demarcating the borders between Soviet Armenia and Soviet Azerbaijan.
