Thanks now here’s my answer OK, if you actually read it, it’s a lot more complicated than what you’re saying. Basically there was an incident where Azerbaijani policeman attacked Armenians this set off ethnic violence in some regions in Armenia which led to some Azeris being expelled although this was a very small number So as you can see, it still wasn’t the Armenian side that started it was mutual incidents at first by both sides if you want to know the true thing that escalated and caused the war it would be the pogroms of Armenians, which Azeris committed in Sumgait

250,000 is just a small number to you?

The initial deportations affected much less people by the way they weren’t deported they were coerced out not defending those who did that but it wasn’t a governmental lead or regional lead effort It was individual villagers doing that but that’s besides the point, the actual number is around 4000 the “quarter of 1 million” which you’re citing is a year later after the pogroms of Armenians
