In November of 1920, the USSR promised the following: As of today, the old frontiers between Armenia and Azerbaijan are declared to be non-existent. Mountainous Karabakh, Zangezur and Nakhchivan are recognised to be integral parts of the Socialist Republic of Armenia. In 1921, following a referendum, Nakhchivan was made an Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of Soviet Armenia. Then in 1924, the Nakchivan ASSR was transferred to the Azeribaijan Soviet Socialist Republic.
What if Nakhchivan was an ASSRs of the Armenian SSR, and Zangezur, and "mountainous" Nagorno-Karabakh were part of the Armenian SSR outright?
Without the late/post-soviet emigration/expulsion of Azeris from Armenia plus the population of Nakhchivan, Armenia would be likely be about a fifth Azerbaijani.
