The growing process of national revival in Azerbaijan during the Bolshevik-Dashnak regime led by the chairman of the Baku Council of People’s Commissars, Stepan Shaumyan, and the growing influence of the Musavat party brought the Bolshevik-Dashnak and other pro-Russian groups in Baku closer.The Bolsheviks had no authority or social support among the local population. This was clearly shown by the results of the elections to the Baku Soviet in October 1917.The Bolsheviks, who won a small number of votes in the elections, were seriously behind the Musavat party. The Bolsheviks were seriously concerned about Musavat’s confident struggle for Azerbaijan’s territorial autonomy and political power. That is why S. Shaumyan committed genocide against Azerbaijanis in Baku, aimed to stifle the awakening national liberation movement, weaken the social base of the “Musavat” party, as well as to minimize the Muslim population by committing genocides in the region. Shaumyan, in close cooperation with members of the Armenian forces in the Caucasus, including the Dashnaktsutyun party, abused his authority and began a mass genocide of the Muslim population in March 1918 with troops consisting of 70% Armenian soldiers.
The section also displays samples of cold steel arms, firearms and torture tools used by Armenian bandits during the genocide.
Dear viewers! We present to you the information about the activities of the Azerbaijani delegation sent to the Paris Peace Conference community in one of the sections of the museum.
On December 28, 1918, the Azerbaijani parliament elected a delegation to the Paris Peace Conference and Alimardan bey Topchubashov was appointed chairman of the delegation.The exposition includes photographs of the delegation participating in the 1919 Paris Peace Conference (A. Topchubashov-chairman, A. Atamalibeyov, Y. Mehdiyev, J. Hajibeyli, A. Sheykhulislamov, M. Maharramov), as well as historical map of Caucasus showing the exact location of the historical borders of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. The main purpose of the delegation was to introduce Azerbaijan as an independent state, as well as to inform the world community about the crimes committed by the Armenian-Dashnaks against the Azerbaijani people in 1918. For this purpose, part of the materials of the Extraordinary investigation Commission was sent to the delegation in Paris. These materials consisted of a 6-volume of documents and 102 photographs reflecting the genocides of 1918 in Baku, Shamakhi, Guba, Goychay, Javad areas. The Azerbaijani delegation fulfilled its task and the copies of the documents were submitted to the heads of major states and various international organizations.
On January 15, 1920, Topchubashov, who was invited to the French embassy, was informed that Azerbaijan was de facto recognized by the allies and an official document of the Paris Peace Conference was presented.
The joy of the Azerbaijani people and its leaders living in those historical days is reflected in their speeches at the ceremonies, documents of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, the press and photographs of the time.
All materials sent from Baku to Paris were found in Topchubashov’s personal archives in France in 2011 by Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Solmaz Rustamova (Tohidi) and submitted back to homeland after 94 years. Copies of most of these documents and photographs are displayed in the museum’s exposition.
