The book by the historian Nasiman Yagublu, Traces of the Caucasian Islamic Army in Azerbaijan, has been published.
The monograph is dedicated to the 97th anniversary of the liberation of Baku from Bolshevik forces by the Turkish army in 1918.
The author notes the undeniable merits of the Caucasian Islamic Army in Azerbaijan's independence in the early 20th century. Thousands of Turkish soldiers lost their lives during the liberation of Azerbaijan.
"We must not forget them. I walked around the regions of Azerbaijan, photographing the graves of Turkish soldiers, and I collected archival materials and published the book," writes Yagublu.
Headed by Nuru Pasha, the Caucasian Islamic Army liberated not only Baku, but also most of the regions of Azerbaijan.
"My goal was to bring all the facts to the reader. The soldiers of the Caucasian Islamic Army fought in Ganja, Goychay, Ujar, Kurdamir, Hajigabul, Agsu, Shamakhi, Gobustan, Gobu, Gyuzdek and other areas near Baku. They made memorable deeds for the liberation of our homeland," the author writes. -03D04-
