Unfortunately what then happens is what you described after this first line.

And why "create" a nation state? Plain imperialism again.
How did 'nations' or 'states' emerge initially?
What we have from Afghanistan to the middle east (and worldwide) is the result of imperialism and colonies. England created borders across peoples territories in this region, England declared it to be "right" or "wrong".
Let them sort out the mess they created, and in which we have to live today.

Think about how and why the nation of Armenia (thanks Ikalugin ) even exists today, and Russia's role.
