Decision of the USSR Council of Ministers of December 23, 1947 on the mass deportation of Azerbaijanis from their historical lands.
After 1920, the Armenians, taking advantage of the Sovietization of the Caucasus, managed to occupy Zangazur and a number of other lands of Azerbaijan in the name of annexing the territory of the Armenian SSR with the help of the Soviet regime for dirty purposes. After that, the deliberate deportation of Azerbaijanis from the territory of Western Azerbaijan began. The Armenian Dashnaks succeeded in passing a resolution of the USSR Council of Ministers on December 23, 1947, to formalize the resettlement from the territory of Western Azerbaijan. The document was entitled “On the resettlement of collective farmers and other Azerbaijanis from the Armenian SSR to the Kur-Araz lowland of the Azerbaijani SSR”, and this decision was to formalize the mass deportation of Azerbaijanis from their historical lands. The decision was a criminal act against innocent Azerbaijanis and one of the most unjust decisions made by the Soviet government. The result was terrible. Thus, in 1948-1953, more than 150,000 Azerbaijanis were expelled en masse from the lands of Western Azerbaijan – their native lands in the territory of the Armenian SSR, and severe repressions were carried out against them.
The historical names of Azerbaijani villages were changed, the process of replacing ancient toponyms with modern Armenian names began, many historical monuments, as well as religious places of worship – mosques, cemeteries – were destroyed.
The genocides of 1905-1906 ...
Beginning in the early twentieth century, Armenian aggression began to gain wlarge scale. Taking advantage of the revolutionary processes in Russia and the weakening of control by the center in 1905-1906, Armenians committed mass genocides against Azerbaijanis in Baku, Zangazur, Yerevan, Nakhchivan, Ordubad, Echmaidzin, Javanshir and Gazakh, also expelled civilians from their homes. Totaly, in 1905-1906, Armenians destroyed 200 villages in Ganja and Gazakh provinces, 75 villages in Shusha, Jabrayil and Zangazur provinces, and more than 200 settlements in Yerevan and Ganja provinces. The facts proving the occurrence of these events are especially reflected in the books of MS Ordubadi “Bloody years”, MM Navvab “Armenian-Muslim war in 1905-1906”.
Today in history:
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.
Starting from now on, Azerbaijan embracing the area of the South-Western Transcaucasia shall exist as an independent state enjoying all rights and realizing the right of the people of Azerbaijan to have a government.

May 28 - Republic Day
May 28, 1918, engraved in golden letters in the history of the struggle of the Azerbaijani people for freedom and independence, is a date of national pride. On this date, our people were liberated from the colonial slavery of Tsarist Russia, which lasted more than a century, and laid the foundation of the first democratic republic in the East. The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic emerged as a logical result of the centuries-old socio-economic, socio-political and cultural development of our country, the processes of national awakening and revival of our people. The people who led our national government during the declaration of independence of Azerbaijan, the formation and functioning of the Democratic Republic – M. Rasulzade, A. Topchubashov, F.Khoyski, H.Agayev, N.Yusifbeyli, S.Mehmandarov, A.Shikhlinsky and others had great merits. Establishment of democratic rights and freedoms, recognition of equal rights of all citizens regardless of ethnic and religious affiliation, giving women the right to vote even before many European countries, declaring the Azerbaijani language the state language, paying special attention to education and culture, creating a regular national army and other works clearly characterized the scale and essence of the policy pursued by the government of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. However, on April 28, 1920, as a result of the intervention of Soviet Russia, after 23 months of activity, the first independent state of the Turkic world collapsed and Soviet power was established in Azerbaijan.
Our people declared its independence again in 1991. During these years, covering more than thirty years of Azerbaijan, there has been a revival in all spheres of life of our people. The modern Azerbaijani state is the successor of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic.
