A military conflict was fought by the Republic of Mountainous Armenia, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, the Azerbaijani Socialist Soviet Republic and the Turkish Nationalists in 1921.[5] It was initiated due to a failed Armenian coup in Yerevan against its Communist government, and lasted from 26 April 1921 until 13 July 1921.[6][7][8]
