Dear visitor,
It is a great honor for me to address to You through this Internet page. I hope
You will find answers to questions related to our country and also our Embassy.
Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, the first democratic Republic in the Muslim east
appeared as a logic conclusion of the centuries old social-economic, political
and cultural development. This Republic emerged as a result of the national
awakening and revival processes. The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was the
indicator of the political conscience, intellectual and cultural potential, high
talent and capability of our nation. The leaders of the Republic- Mahammad Amin
Rasulzadeh, Fatali Khan Khoysky, Nasib Bey Yusifbeyli, Samad Bey Mehmandarov,
Aliaga Shikhlinsky and others had great contributions in proclamation of the
independence of Azerbaijan on 28 May 1918 and in establishment and activity of
the Democratic Republic. The names of these prominent political leaders,
patriotic intellectuals, professional militaries have gone down into the memory
of our people forever. The measures implemented in the Country had a great
impact on the restoration of the statehood tradition and strengthening of the
national conscience. Therefore, even after the collapse of the Republic as a
result of the Bolshevik occupation in April 1920, the sense of independence has
never abandoned the hearts of Azerbaijanis since the ideas of freedom were
deeply enrooted in the minds of people.
