Présentation de l'éditeur:

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was the first successful attempt to establish a democratic and secular republic in the Muslim world (pre-dating the Republic of Turkey; see also Crimean People's Republic). The ADR was founded on May 28, 1918 after the collapse of the Russian Empire that began with the Russian Revolution of 1917 by Azerbaijani National Council in Tiflis. Its established borders were with Russia in the north, Democratic Republic of Georgia in the north-west, Democratic Republic of Armenia in the west, and Persian Empire in the south. It had a population of 2 million. Ganja was the temporary capital of the Republic as Baku was under Bolshevik control. Under the ADR, a government system was developed in which a Parliament elected on the basis of universal, free, and proportionate representation, was the supreme organ of state authority and Council of Ministers held responsible before it. Fatali Khan Khoyski became its first prime-minister. Besides the Musavat majority, Ehrar, Ittihad, Muslim Social-democrats as well as representatives of Armenian (21 out of 120 seats), Russian, Polish, Jewish and German minorities gained seats in the parliament.
