Treaty of Alexandrapol

Kemal Ataturk’s forces invaded Armenia in late November (1917) and entered Alexandrapol (later Leninagan, now Giumri) and compelled the demoralized and defeated Armenians to sign the infamous Treaty of Alexandrapol, thus spelling the doom of an independent Armenia and leading to the subsequent Sovietization of a truncated state on Dec. 2, 1920.
