A Study of Military Aspect of 1324- 1325 A.H.S. Events (Azerbaijan)

The events of 1324-25 A. H. S. in Azerbaijan with military dealings gained international importance. However, recent studies have ignored the military aspect of this period. This research is an attempt to fill the gap by referring to the documents released by both opponent sides of the struggle. The research is intended to answer the question of how 'the democrat sect' developed its military organization, and how it demolished. This research mainly contains discussion on the following issues: The first military movement of the sect by the help of USSR, the process of its formation and organization, the battle of Ghaflankoh and failure of the democratic sect, and finally the demolition of the sect and elimination of the risk of Azerbaijan's dissection. The events resulted in the identification of the dependency of the sect to foreign countries and its refusal of resorting to internal military sources.
