Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev held a solemn reception on the day of the 100 anniversary of the ADR (Azerbaijan Democratic Republic).
For reference: ADR in the Soviet historiography was called the Azerbaijan bourgeois republic; 28 was proclaimed May 1918 by the interim National Council of the Muslims of the Transcaucasus. In May, Turkish troops entered the ADR territory. Since November of the same year, the territory of Azerbaijan was also under the British military occupation - first of all Britain was interested in the oil fields of Baku. 1918 April 28, part of the Red Army after fighting with a motley enemy, including the so-called Caucasian Islamic Army Nuri-Pasha Killigil, entered Baku, which eventually became the capital of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic.
Ilham Aliyev congratulated the people of Azerbaijan on the centenary of the formation of the ADR and said that the country's sovereignty today rests on the might of the Azerbaijani army. According to the president of the republic, the Azerbaijani army is included in 50 of the most powerful and trained armies in the world. Ilham Aliyev:
Our warriors proved it on the battlefield. Our April 2016 victory on the line of contact with the enemy demonstrated that it is a strong army that is the guarantor of independence.
Recall that in 2016, during the next phase of the conflict, the Azerbaijani army managed to take control of certain territories in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Aliyev added that on the day of the centenary of the formation of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, it is important to note that the key to the development of the country is the unity of its people, as well as the solidarity of the people and government. According to the head of Azerbaijan, the republic has demonstrated a multi-year history of success.
