opposition Ittihad party suggested to set up a military 
alliance with a Soviet Russia.
On 30 March 1920 under leadership of N.Yusifbeyli the
V government cabinet has resigned. The forming of new 
government had been ordered to M.H.Hacinski. But he 
entered into negotiations with communists and has offered 
them different positions in a new government. Unfortuna-
tely negotiations more than 20 days continuing no results. 
On 22 April M.H.Hachinski informed parliament that there 
was not impossible to establish a new government. To 
overthrow the national government and occupying 
Azerbaijan lands Soviet Russia was using armenians. On 22 
March with the consent of Moscow on Novruz holiday 
Dashnak troops attacked to the Azerbaijan army’s garrison 
which is situated at the Khankendi city. Meanwhile 
Armenian army attacked Qazakh and Ganja cities also. The 
rebellion which is happened in the Nagorno Karabakh 
forced Azerbaijan Republic immedetely have sent army
from Dagestan's border and from Baku to the Nagorno 
Karabakh. But unfortunately Azerbaijan’s northern 
borders remained defenseless. 
On the night of 25 to 26 April XI Red army crossed the 
Azerbaijan Democratic Republic borders. On 27 April 1920 
was given ultimatum to the parliaments for giving government 
to the bolsheviks. To prevent bloodshed in vain was decided to 
hand over Azerbaijan to the bolsheviks with the below terms: 
1.To preservation of the independence of Azerbaijan; 
2.The government which eastablished by AK(b)P - 
Azerbaijan Communist (bolshevik) Party be a temporary 
organization; 3.The employees who were worked at the

government departments to keep them the same place; 
4.Life and property of members of government and 
parliament; 5.To providing all political parties activities in 
Azerbaijan; 6.Keeping Azerbaijan army; 7.The Russian 
army should help to Turkey without entering the Baku city.
But a few hours later the decision of parliament XI 
Red army the pretence of going to Turkey entered the Baku 
city. This way put an end to the independence Democratic 
Republic. And Azerbaijan was occupied again by Russia.
In spite of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic lived 23 
month but there were some reasons of regressing. We can 
summarize these reasons: - 1.In the international arena, as 
well as the military and political situation in Caucasus; 
2.Soviet Russia against to the international relates and 
international rights attacked and accupied Azerbaijan 
territories; 3. There was an absence of stability inside the 
Azerbaijan government, parliament fractions, struggle for 
government among political parties, internal conflicts, the 
government frequently changing, not holding timely 
reformations. 4. Armenian territorial claims, with the 
National army taking the front line north of the borders 
remain unprotected; 5. Azerbaijan is a member of 
Bolsheviks “fifth column’s” destructive activity.
