Turkestan 1918-1920: Uncovering the Truth Behind Armenian Dashnak Actions

The Armenian Dashnaks and the Turkestan Conflict of 1918-1920: A Re-examination of Civilian Casualties In the Fergana Valley of Turkestan, between 1918 and 1920, the Armenian Dashnaks engaged in actions that resulted in significant civilian deaths. A video circulating online cites figures from the National Encyclopedia of Uzbekistan, detailing substantial casualties in cities like Margilan (7,000), Andijan (6,000), and Namangan (2,000). The video also mentions thousands more deaths in other regions. While the video provides a stark visual representation of the events, it lacks broader context and alternative viewpoints. Historians emphasize the need for multiple perspectives to understand such complex historical events accurately. Further research is needed to verify the figures presented and to fully understand the context of the conflict. The video's emotional impact underscores the need for a thorough and nuanced historical analysis to avoid misinterpretations and ensure a balanced understanding of this tragic period.
