That video is wrong, The first republic of Armenia already had both Syunik (Zangezur), Nakhijevan, Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). When Armenia was annexed into the soviet union, Nakhichevan, Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), and Syunik (Zangezur) were to be given to Azerbaijan so that Turkey would become a communist country

Armenians in Nakhijevan were deported forcibly and many were killed

The reason why we still have syunik (Zangezur) is because of Garegin Nzhdeh, who occupied yerevan for 46 days and went to establish the Republic of Mountainous Armenia which is now modern day Syunik (Zangezur), Vayots Dzor, Parts of Artsakh, and parts of Nakhijevan. The soviets went to war with the new state and said that if they surrender, then they will promise to keep syunik as a part of the Armenian SSR
