It had to be.
We reported to you a couple of days ago about Georgia departing the Transcaucasian Federation, and Armenia was part of that. So on this day, it made its independence official.
It wouldn't last long and it would be violent. In 1918 it fought a brief war with Georgia. In May 1919 it seized disputed territory from Azerbaijan in a military strike. In September 1920 it was invaded by Turkey. It's government fell to the communist in late 1920 and it was subsequently invaded by the Soviet Union, which brought its independence to an end.
Any by extension, it had to be for Azerbaijan as well.
You already read of its war with Armenia.
In 1920 the Turkish and Soviet government ganged up on it and its fate was sealed. The Soviets wanted the port of Baku back, and they invaded the country. The occupation did not go easily and there was resistance and a subsequent uprising, but it was incorporated into the USSR.
