It was signed in Kars on October 23, 1921 and ratified in Yerevan on September 11, 1922. Turkey ceded the city of Batumi* to Soviet Union in return for sovereignty over the cities of Kars and Ardahan. The treaty effectively ended the short-lived First Republic of Armenia that had been established under the previous Treaty of Sevres. Armenia does not recognize the treaty to this day.
</nowiki>*</nowiki>The city of Batumi was captured back by the Turkish forces at the time of treaty but the lack of communication caused the city to be given to Russians.
