Exile
But the new rulers of Transcaucasia were unable to deal with the recalcitrant republic.
On October 1, 1918, the Ottoman Turks arrested many of the members of the Government, including Yeghishe Ishkhanian. During the interrogation, not obtaining what they wanted to get from him, they beat him up.
The Britain Mission, which fallowed the Ottoman Turks, brought in fact no better condition for Nagorno-Karabakh, moreover it helped Khosrov bey Sultanov to get authority over Nagorno-Karabakh. In April 1919 general Shatelwort tried for the last time to persuade the 5th Karabakh Congress to "temporary recognize the Azerbaijani jurisdiction", but in vain. On June 5, 1919, Ishkhanian, along with two other government leaders, was banished from Shusha.
