Virtual Azerbaijan (VAR) presents: The Rise and Fall of South Azerbaijan Democratic Republic The nationalistic and socio-political demands of Azerbaijani people were legitimate demands rooted in their culture and history.  Although the ADP leaders failed to lead the struggle to victory, obtainment of autonomy and unification with northern Azerbaijan have, nonetheless, remained an ideal for millions of Azeris in both sides of the river Araz.    Adopting an orthodox class-based approach, the leftist literature, in general, views the aspirations of Azerbaijani people for self-determination through the class lens, seeking to subordinate various racial, national, social, cultural and linguistic issues to issues of class and relations of economics (see for example Nabdel 1973). Further, the government assured the Azerbaijani people  that 'traitors and reactionaries' would be purged from the gendarmerie; that a 'people's army' would be formed from local militia groups; and that Azeri-Turkic would be the official language of the state.  www.zerbaijan.com /azeri/AlirezaAsgharzadeh.htm   (6182 words)

Moreover, this is exactly why the monitoring on the Azerbaijani part was quite difficult, for in the beginning it involved journalists. www.hetq.am /eng/politics/0506-pw-2.html   (2330 words)

MFA Bulletin The people of Albania (one of the ancestor nations of the present-day Azerbaijanis) consisted of various ethnic groups, the overwhelming majority of whom spoke Turkic languages. One of the Azerbaijani Government's first moves, guided by the principle of good-neighbourliness, was to hand over the city of Iravan (Yerevan), to the Republic of Armenia, which had proclaimed its independence but had no land of its own [4]. An outstanding achievement of Azerbaijani diplomacy was the conspicuous participation of the national delegation in the work of the post-war Paris Peace Conference and the de facto recognition of the independence of the Azerbaijan Republic by the Supreme Council of the Allied Powers (Entente) on 11 January 1920. www.geocities.com /CapitolHill/Parliament/1077/mfa-bulletin.html   (1057 words)

CRC activities In spite of the efforts of the official authority, it could not effectively play the role of an international language, because its social significance in the minds of native people, especially in countryside was very low, Azerbaijani language was widely used in the whole territory of Azerbaijan during that period. So although in Azerbaijan the old Constitution had already been amended in 1978, declaring Azerbaijani to be the official language within the republic, this regulation did not function and Azerbaijani language was not used in the work of the government bodies, organizations, enterprises, institutions and so on. In the new Constitution of the Azerbaijan Republic (November 12, 1995) the official language is also the Azerbaijani language, at the same time it is noted, that the State guarantees preservation, the free use, cultivation and development of other languages of the Republic's population (article 21). www.geocities.com /CapitolHill/Lobby/9754/SLD001.HTM   (4098 words)

newalphab Nevertheless, on December 25, 1991, the Azerbaijani parliament passed a decree (written in Cyrillic letters) mandating a switch from the Cyrillic alphabet--which the decree referred to as a "historical injustice" introduced "despite the people's will" and as a "continuation of the mass repressions of the 1930s"--to a thirty-two-letter Latin alphabet. Azerbaijanis themselves would like to fill that vacuum, but the relentless march of occupiers through the region has left them little sense of themselves with which to be assertive. Ahmad Abdinov, a vice-minister of education, who is charged with implementing the new alphabet in Azerbaijani schools, was clearly ambivalent about his assignment when we met in his office. faculty.ed.umuc.edu /~jmatthew/articles/newalphab.html   (3078 words)
