By a decision of the Parliament of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic of December 7, 1918, the delegation was sent to Paris with full authority and rights, headed by Parliament Speaker Alimardan bey Topchubashev. As a result of the long and hard work of our delegation, January 11, 1920 the Supreme Council of the Paris Peace Conference decided to recognize the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. Thus, ADR was recognized de facto.
Today, 100 years ago, from the balcony of the second floor of the same building M.A. Rasulzade made a speech, which he completed with the words:
“The people of Azerbaijan have presented independence to the whole world.
Once the ascended flag, will not fall again! ”
