“107 years ago, the first democratic republic in the Muslim world – the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic – was established in Azerbaijan. This was a landmark historical event,” said President Ilham Aliyev during his speech ahead of the concert marking May 28 – Independence Day in the city of Lachin, APA reports.
Regrettably, the head of state noted, the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic had a short lifespan, and in April 1920, Azerbaijan lost its independence. He added that just a few months later, the Western Zangazur region was separated from Azerbaijan and annexed to Armenia. “This was a grave injustice, and the Azerbaijani people have faced similar injustices throughout history,” the President said.
