Azerbaijan (newspaper)

The government, by its order of 3 July 1918, decided on the launch of the publication "the News of Azerbaijani Republic" under its official authority.

Thus, the first issue of the "Azerbaijan" newspaper was published as the parliamentary paper on 15 September 1918, on the same day, when the Caucasus Islamic Army freed Baku from the Armenian-Bolshevik invasion.

After the collapse of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, Jeyhun Hajibeyli, who was forced to leave the country and to immigrate to Europe, tried to issue the newspaper there and in 1951 he was able to achieve his goal in Munich (Germany).

The chief editor of the Russian version of the newspaper was Sefi Bek Rustambeyli.

The newspaper was also written by Mammad Amin Resulzadeh, Khalil Ibrahim, Farhad Aghazadeh, Ibrahim Gasimov, Mukhamed aga Shahtakhtly, Adil Khan Ziyadkhanov, Alabbas Musnib, and Shafiga Efendizadeh.
