THE NATIONAL RESISTANCE MOVEMENT AGAINST THE DASHNAK ARMENIAN-BOLSHEVIK GROUPS IN AZERBAIJAN IN THE 20S OF THE 20TH CENTURY
Amanulla Mirza Govanli-Qajar
In 1918, Amanulla Mirza Govanli-Qajar Kuban, who fought against the attack organized by the Armenian armed forces against the Azerbaijani army and served in the suppression of the Armenian rebellion, received the rank of major general in 1917 for his exemplary services in the regular units of Qajar Kuban. After the February coup, Amanulla Mirza returned to the Caucasus and lived in Tbilisi and Shusha for some time. On May 28, 1918, when the establishment of the Azerbaijan People’s Republic was announced, Amanullah Khan, who lived in Shusha, on December 1, 1918, officially applied to the Ministry of Defense for the acceptance of the newly created state into the ranks of the army. He was appointed deputy commander of the 1st Infantry Division of the National Army of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. In addition to serving in the army, he was closely involved in solving diplomatic issues during the APC period. Thus, Amanulla Khan was the head of the military group in the official diplomatic delegation sent to the Qajar Empire under the leadership of Ismayil Khan Ziyadkhanov.
Unable to tolerate the Bolshevik pressure, the general immigrated to Iran in 1929. Amanullah Mirza Qajar died in 1937 in Tehran.
