On June 16, 19 days after the declaration of independence of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic by the National Council and the Government of Azerbaijan on May 28, 1918, the government was transferred from Tbilisi to Ganja. For three months before the liberation of Baku from the Bolsheviks, the Government continued its activities in the city municipality. Official statements were sent to the world’s major political centers to temporarily make Ganja the capital of the Republic.
