Demographics of Armenia once showed the Azeris as the majority of the country

The demographics of Armenia once showed the Azeris as the majority in the country with a ratio of roughly 80 percent Azeri and 20 percent Armenian.

In the same year as the Treaty of Turkmenchay was adopted (1828), the Armenian Oblast was created. Between 1828 to 1840 the Armenian Oblast was established by the Russian Empire to further accelerate the settlement of Christian Armenians into Azerbaijani Khanates.

The following years massive persecution, massacres and deportations of Azerbaijanis followed.

By 1832 only half of the total population of the Erivan Khanate remained Azerbaijani. Only 5 years after the creation of the Armenian Oblast.
