Today in history
On February 6, 1905, massacres of the Muslim population by the Armenian-Dashnak armed groups began in Baku. Clashes provoked by Tsarist Russia’s ruling circles to divert attention from the wave of revolutions in the country lasted until February 9, when Armenian armed groups killed more than a thousand Muslim Turks. A martial law was declared in Baku for some time, but the attacks of the Armenian armed forces against the Muslim population continued intermittently (until 1907).
