Since the 1990s, local researchers of Shamakhi region made great 
endeavor to specify the number of people who were killed in the 
March-April 1918 massacre. As the result of their research (memo-

91
rial and information gathered from close to hundred witnesses) it 
was determined that roughly 14-16 thousand in Shamakhi, while 
6-8 thousand people were killed in 40 villages (today the villages 
in the territory of Shamakhi and Gobustan regions) by the Arme-
nian criminals with the leadership of S.Shaumyan, S. Lalayan, Z. 
Arestisyan, T.Amirov and A.Amiryan brothers and participation 
of local supporters. More than 18 thousand people were displaced 
from Shamakhi city andfrom its villages. Sources indicate that 58 
villages were destroyed and burnt. Some names of the villages, 
where the tragedy broke out, do not appear in the list. Once we 
include the same villages to the list, it becomes clear that roughly 
90 villages of Shamakhi district and more than 40 villages of Sha-
makhi region were subject to the tragedy. (33)  
As an example of what kind of atrocities Armenians committ ed 
not only in Shamakhi city, but also in the rural areaswe can pres-
ent Angakharan village.
Armenians had sudden att ack to Angakharan in the morning 
of March 18. They surrounded the village, destroyed and burnt 
it, and took the remaining part as hostages. The children of those 
who were in captivity were taken to the Azerbaij ani village of Mal-
ham and were kept there. 88 males were taken to Chukhuryurd 
village.
 
They shot dead some of them prior to arrival to the village. 
They sent the rest of the hostages to the Armenian headquarters 
in Madrasa village. On the way, two of them were killed as well. 
Only 74 Azerbaij anis reached the village safe and sound. When 
the armed forces, coming from Ganja, arrived in Shamakhi, and 
when the people in Angekharan came to Madrasa village to get 
know about their relatives, they witnessed that the hostages had 
been killed with great atrocities. Ears, noses, hands and legs of 
corpses were cut off , there were many traces of burning fi re on 
their chests, which proved that the Armenians made a fi re on their 

92
chests even when they were still alive. In addition, many of those 
who managed to escape from dilapidated villages were ultimately 
perished as the result of hunger, coldness and disease.
The list made up on the basis of testimonies of witnesses relat-
ed to atrocities committ ed by Armenians name 237 civilians. (34)  
Once the Shamakhi resident Movsumbey Sadigbeyov was ques-
tioned by the Emergency Investigation Commission of the Gov-
ernment of Azerbaij an, he mentioned that when he was still in 
Kurdamir he had heard that since the beginning of January Arme-
nians had brought a two-cart full ammunition to Madrasa village. 
The testimony of another Shamakhi resident Mahiyyeddin 
Efendi was as the follows: “when the Armenians shelled the city 
with machine guns people went out. A few hours later, Arme-
nians att acked houses, burnt them and shot people dead. This 
slaughter was led by Gavril, Garaoglanov, Gulbendov, head of the 
postal-telegraph department, Garamanov, barber Samvel, barber 
Ovanes, Stepan Lalayev, Madrasali Sidrakand by many others. 
Azerbaij anis  who  fl ed from Shamakhi took refuge in Kurdamir 
and Ganja and addressed relevant institutions in order to save 
those who were in Armenian captivity. On March 28, Ismail Khan 
Ziyadkhanov entered Shamakhi in a small group. Armenians, be-
ing afraid of clashes, retreated to Gozluchay village and began to 
take forces.
Ismail Khan waited two days and required the surrender of 
Armenians who were gathered in the village of Gozluchay. Aft er 
that, the balance of forces swapped and therefore Ismail Khan had 
to withdraw Shamakhiat the same day. Aft er six days, the Arme-
nians began to continue their atrocities in Shamakhi again.
S. Afandiyev, who was the witness of the event, notes that it 
was impossible to move aroundas the corpses were laying every-
where. I saw the corpses of Muslims who were killed with enor-

93
mous brutalities. But I will never forget especially one scene, where 
half-split corpse of a 3-4 year old kid, was laid on the corpses of 
male and female. (35) 
Comparative analysis of the number of people in Shamakhi 
enables to elicit the truth on anti-Muslim policy carried out by 
the Tsarist and Bolshevik Russia. If 24 thousand families lived in 
Shamakhikhanate in 1811 and 15 thousand in Shamakhi district in 
1918, the number declined by 1700 in 1921, which prove the large-
scale atrocities committ ed in the region.  (36) 
 Those who escaped from Shamakhi massacre headed to the 
center of Goychay district. Since the survived people, suff ering 
from hunger and coldness, used the water of the so-called Garasu, 
they got caught the disease and eventually massively died. Al-
though the well-known poet of Azerbaij an Abbas Sahat survived 
the Shamakhimassacre, he suff ered from hunger and coldness, 
and ultimately he died at the same year.
Liberation of Shamakhi and Baku, secret talks of inter-
national forces with Russia against Azerbaij 
an and Tur-
key, support of leaders oft he Entente and the Union of 
Three Forces to the enemy coincide with tense situation. 
Aft er the collapse of the Baku Soviet, Sentrokaspi dictatorship, 
composed of eser-dashnak-menshevik, was established in Baku in 
August 1, 1918 with the participation of the British consul Mac-
Donel under the chairmanship of A.Arakelyan, chairman of the 
Presidium.
Arrival of the British forces with 1500 soldiers to Baku, under 
the command of the colonel Stocks and general Denstervil,with 
the invitation of the same institution in August 4 and 18 and the 
additional agreement to the Brest treaty signed between Germany 
and the Soviet Russiain August 27, 1918 prove it. Part IV of this 
agreement stipulates the following terms with regard to the Cau-

casus: 
1) Russia will accept recognition of independent Georgia by 
Germans;
2) Germany will under no circumstances render a military as-
sistance outside the territory of Georgia and/or to the third country 
within the territory, which was defi ned by Turkish Brest -Litovsk-
treaty;
 
3) Germany will take a serious measures once any third country 
passes the borders of Shamakhi and Baku districts;
4) Russia will send to Germany one-third of the revenue of the 
extracted oil from Baku or special monthly percent of the revenue. 
(37) 
Despite these challenges, Shamakhi was liberated aft er  the 
bloody  fi ghts in Ujar, Mususllu, Goychay, Garameryem, Kurd-
amir, Akhsu in the period of June 6 and July 20, 1918. Although 
there was a severe rain in July 19, XIII forces of Caucasian Islamic 
Army liberated Shamakhi from the enemy at 6 a.m. in July 20 aft er 
they freed Goylar, Chukhanli, Malik, Chobanli and Merez villages.
Presence of one offi
  cer and four British soldiers among the hos-
tages prove that even before the establishment of Sentrokaspy dic-
tatorship and prior to the arrival of the British to Baku, British 
military rendered military assistance confi dentially to the Bolshe-
vik–Armenian forces against the Caucasian IslamicArmy. (38) 
Once the Turkish Caucasian IslamicArmy with Azerbaij ani 
military forces approached to Baku in August–September 1918, 
the Bolshevik commissar and leaders of Sentrokaspydictatorship 
stole millions of manat from the Baku bank while fl eeing. How-
ever, they failed to rob jewelry in 8 boxes and in 2 sacks. Later, 
Azerbaij ani government confi scated them, and although it was in 
a great need, it established a special commission to return the jew-
elry to their owners. (39)

Aft er the liberation of Baku, Azerbaij ani government addressed 
to the nation in September 17, 1918. The head of the government, 
F. Khoysky, noted in his address: “Muslims were killed, abused 
and were looted… aft er 3 days fi ght, the city was freed, people 
and army entered the city being furious … the government en-
tered the city aft er 3 days. 
Aft er the arrival of the government, the address was made on 
behalf of the Azerbaij ani government to the people in Baku and 
in its suburbs. The address specifi es that all citizens, living in 
Azerbaij an, regardless of nationality and language possess equal-
ity, and their life, property and rights will be protected, and those 
who violate the public order, will be punished.” (40) 
The address of the government once again proves that the 
Azerbaij an Democratic Republic was civil and legal state unlike 
the Bolshevik–Dashnak regime. 
N. Nerimanov wrote about the Shamakhi massacre: “aft er the 
return from Shamakh… M.Azizbeyov told me the tragedy in tears. 
Previously located armed forces of T. Amirov and S. Lalayev in 
Baku killed all Azerbaij anis regardless of age and sex; they com-
mitt ed unprecedented crime in the world, they killed children with 
a sword, and burnt people putt ing them together in the mosque. 
It became clear to me that the Soviet government depended on 
Dashnaks in Baku. Evidently, aft er all these atrocities to Azerbai-
jani population by Armenian gangs, Azerbaij ani proletariat had 
the right to receive assistance from Turkey and from national bour-
geoisie and showing its backside to the Soviet government.” (41) 
During the Azerbaij an Democratic Republic (May 1918–April 
1920) March 31of 1919 and 1920 was marked as a National Mourn-
ing day. Numerous terrible facts were presented in “Azerbaij an” 
newspaper, published in this period, on Armenian atrocities to 
Azerbaij anis. The witness of these horrible days, German A. Y. 

96
Kluge, wrote that Armenians att acked the Muslim (Azerbaij ani) 
streets and killed them with brutality. Aft er a few days of this mas-
sacre 87 Azerbaij ani corpses were uncovered and their ears and 
noses were cat off , bellies were torn, sex organs were cut off . Ar-
menians did not show any mercy to the kids and to the old. M. 
A. Rasulzade wrote referring to A. Y. Kluge: “The photos taken 
by Kluge and other foreigners, which exist today as memories of 
those days, clearly describe the tragedy. The shepherd dogs ab-
sorbed bulk of corpses of kids… and naked women laid dead on 
the ground…alive baby sucks dried gland of a dead mother...” “Is-
tiqlal newspaper published in Munchen under the leadership of 
M. A. Rasulzade dedicated its XXXI number, dated Aprel 1, 1933, 
entirely to 15 anniversary of the 1918 massacre. (42) 
M. A. Rasulzade wrote about Shamakhi tragedy: “The old capi-
tal of Shirvanshakh was att acked and the historical mosque was 
destroyed... like Shamakhi Lenkeran, Salyan, Guba, Nevahi and 
Kurdemir were undergone to this tragedy. Even the description 
of the destroyed property, abuse, killing of the old and looting is 
tragedy”. (43) 
The address of the chairman of the Emergency Investigation 
Commission, Alakbarbey Khasmamadov, to Azerbaij ani  nation 
with regard to assistance to the people in Shamakhi, who were 
in diffi
  cult situation, was published in “Azerbaij an” newspaper in 
the anniversary of March events in March 31, 1919. The address 
reads: “The miserable people are in need of great help. They have 
been deprived of almost everything even they have no strength to 
ask for assistance. However, they will not survive unless there is 
any assistance. Namely those who are engaged in grain cultiva-
tion were deprived of husbandry, labor tools and of seeds. There 
are villages that even do not possess any cow or hen… diseases 
emanating from famine and coldness destroy a number of people 

97
every day. Obviously our government, which att aches great im-
portance to improvement of well-being of people, will assist to the 
people of Shamakhi who suff ered more. But this assistance does 
not release any citizen, especially any Muslim, of moral duty and 
citizen obligation to help the people of Shirvan, which has histori-
cal traditions that faced death threat. Muslim citizens, do save the 
people of Shamakhi who face death threat!”
Aft er this address, despite the diffi
  cult situation, att ention and 
care began to increase to Shamakhi people from the diff erent re-
gions of Azerbaij an along with the government. 
Most importantly,the 1918 events were refl ected in the literature 
regardless of the Soviet censorship. Uzeyir Hajibayov, Mahammed 
Hadi, Mirze Bala Mammedzade, Ibrahim Khelil and other intel-
lectuals created diff erent works on this issue. Along with other 
works, JafarJabbarli wrote the story (Ahmad and Gumru) that 
dealt with two Shamakhi youth. The story is related to Shamakhi 
youth’ love and to the March events that brought about tragedies 
to this innocent youth. The work depicts that Ahmad and Gumru, 
having their parents been killed by Armenian gangsters and their 
houses brunt, meet in front of Ismailiyye building in a miserable 
condition. Having known each other in diffi
  culty aft er being in 
tragedy and deprivation and the calling “wounded, disabled Sha-
makhi hostage”, they could not hug each other because Armenian 
criminals had cut off  their arms. (44) 
The Emergency Investigation Commission had already proved 
that the main criminals of Shamakhi massacre were Stephan 
Lalayev, born in Shamakhiand lived in Baku, Shamakhi residents 
Gavril Karaoglanov, Arshak Gulbandiyan, Mikhayil Arzumanov, 
Karaped Karamanov, Armenak Marterosyants, Aleksandr Kha-
chaturov, Michail Khajaturov who were composed of 31 persons.
The research materials constitute 7 volume, 925 pages collected 

98
by the commission on the genocide committ ed by Armenians in 
Shamakhi and in its villages play a crucial importance in exposing 
Armenian crimes. 
Along with Shamakhi, the Emergency Investigation Commis-
sion had also explored the atrocities committ ed by Armenians in 
Jengi, Garavelli, Garbujag, Musafali, Khelil–Gasimbey, Arab-Me-
hdibeyli villages, and moreover in Sultanov and Sadali residents 
of Kurdamir and Goychay districts.
The research did also clarify that Armenians had burnt 5 hous-
es, 127 residents, 2 mosques and rich library on “Koran” interpre-
tation in Kurdamir. (45) 
Azerbaij ani delegation had used part of the materials of the 
Emergency Investigation Commission in the Paris Peace Confer-
ence. In addition, part of the materials of the Commission was pub-
lishedin French as 73 pages “documents on Armenian atrocities 
against the Muslim population” in 1919 in Istanbul. This wasthe 
fi rst att empt to disseminate the truth to the world community and 
it played an important role at that time. In the Paris Peace Con-
ference, the head of the Azerbaij ani delegation, A. Topchubashov, 
submitt ed the materials of the Emergency Investigation Commis-
sion to the U.S. president W. Wilson in May 28, 1919. Later the 
U.S. delegation was sent to the South Caucasus to collect impar-
tial information. The general Harbor, sent by the U.S. to Baku in 
summer of 1919, met with many people to gather impartial in-
formation. The Armenian representative bishop Bagrat made an 
att empt to deny involvement of Armenians in the March events. 
In general, Russian and Armenian organizations functioning in 
Baku made an obstacle to and put a pressure on the work of the 
Emergency Investigation Commission. However, the Commission 
managed to do much work in the short run despite the constraints 
and challenges.

99
The Emergency Investigation Commission that operated a year 
and a half gathered 35 volumes, 3500 pages materials on crimes 
committ ed by Armenians working under the fl ag of diff erent 
political nationalist parties. On the basis of these documents 128 
reports were made up and 194 persons were sued. In addition, 
it was impossible to sue many criminals due to diff erent reasons 
although their names were made public. Furthermore, the Com-
mission made up 6 volumes additional documents, composed of 
95 photo album, and 80 slides in order to send to the Azerbaij ani 
delegation in Paris.
Regretfully, immediately aft er the de-facto recognition of Azer-
baij ani independence, the law on amnesty, adopted in February 
2, 1920 by the Parliament of the Azerbaij an Democratic Republic 
with the pressure of western countries, prevented punishment of 
criminals sued with regard to the 1918 genocide.The second ar-
ticle of the law stipulates that “those who were sued due to crimes 
on national hostility” are released of punishment and persecution. 
According the article 10, all the cases were permanently annulled 
raised as an outcome of the research of the Emergency Investiga-
tion Commission. Although few of the criminals, 194 of them were 
sued as a result of the hard work of the Emergency Investigation 
Commission, all of them were released aft er the adoption of the 
amnesty law. Even the money of those who were released by pay-
ing compensation was returned. However, Stephan Lalayan, who 
headed the atrocities in Shamakhi, could not survive; he died in 
custody. (46) 
Shamakhi massacre plays a crucial role since today there is a 
fi ght against terrorism in the international arena. Therefore, these 
facts should be thoroughly and impartially explored, and the truth 
should be disseminated to the world community.

100
Currently, signifi cant work is done towards the study and dis-
semination of the 1918 genocide to the international communi-
ty. Att empt to falsify the 1918 March genocide in writings of some 
Armenian and Russian authors and endeavor to confuse the in-
ternational community further stimulates this issue. Russians did 
even made fabricated cartoons, such as“three Heroes and Shamak-
hi tsarina”that dealt with love between the king of Kiev Russian 
state and daughter of Shamakhi king. Regretfully, the communists 
reiterated mistakes made by the followers that served the enemy 
in 1918–1920 even aft er the political assessment of the 1918 March 
events in a state level. They tried to blur public opinion by writing 
a book, such as “the year 1917 and Azerbaij an”, and by putt ing 
diff erent false materials into the webpage www.kommunist.az. 
These persons make unsuccessful eff orts to bring false opinions, 
writt en on the 1918 events during the Soviet period, to the agenda, 
and support criminals who killed thousands of Azerbaij ani civil-
ians. By doing this, they do not even understand the treason done 
to their nation.
Presence of such att empts in the international arena stipulates 
further expansion of research on the 1918 events. 
Discovery of new facts in this sphere as a result of the research 
done recently plays a signifi cant role in exposing criminals. 
One of the new facts is the discovery of massive graves of 1918 
which were uncovered by accident while construction of city sta-
dium in Guba in 2007. There is a great possibility that such mas-
sive graves exist in Shamakhi region as well. The sources of the 
Soviet period, where archeological excavations were carried out 
in the historically rich Shamakhi, do not indicate any information 
about existence of such massive graves which in fact do not coin-
Conclusion 

101
cide with the policy of the communist regime to gather facts on 
the 1918 massacres. Therefore, there is a great need to expand ar-
cheological excavations in the former Shamakhi district in order to 
att ain new facts on Armenian atrocities of 1918. Reportedly, Sha-
makhi residents killed in 1918 by Armenian criminals were buried 
in Kalakhana and Suleyman valley, and fi nding massive graves in 
future as the result of archeological excavations in these areas are 
not necessarily ruled out.
Modern researches prove that Armenians not only committ ed 
crimes against Muslim population but also to national minori-
ties, such as Jews and Germans in the 1918 massacres. During 
this period 3 thousand Jews were killed by Armenians. Defi ning 
the identities of 104 killed Jews as a result of recent researches, 
representative of the Red Sett lement of GubaRegional Authority, 
IsakovPisakhDavidovich, submitt ed the list of 104 Mountainous 
Jews, killed during the massacres by Armenians in diff erent re-
gions of Azerbaij an in 1918, along with 18 Jews of the Red Set-
tlement, to the Prosecutor’s offi
  ce. Amazasp headed the massive 
killing of Jews. The killed Jews were thrown to the so-called Shi-
miholes. (48) 
According to the memories of baronGresKremsenshtain, head 
commander of German Forces in the Caucasus region in 1918, in 
his book “My Caucasus Mission”, Armenians had killed 400 Ger-
man civilians with no reason in Yekaterinfeld village of Barchali 
in December 1918, and had buried them in the well in the adjacent 
area to the village. (49) 
Currently, the conduct of propaganda in this sphere and erecting 
genocidal monuments of 1918 in diff erent sett lements, including 
in Shamakhi should be highly valued. One of the important works 
done in this area is the fi lming of Turkish prestigious “A” channel 
of the genocide by the Bolshevik–Armenian forces in March 1918 

102
in three parts. (50) However there is an enormous need to increase 
the activity in this sphere.
The researches prove that the massacre was committ ed by Ar-
menians in most of the regions of Azerbaij an in 1918. If one part 
of the genocide was studied, however another part is not yet ex-
amined. Therefore, there is an immense need to explore the crimes 
of Armenians in Kurdamir, Goychay, Hajigabul, Salyan, Nefcha-
la, along with Baki, Shamakhi, Guba, Zengezur, Garabag and 
Nakhchivan. One of the unexplored regions, which undergone to 
Armenian atrocities, is Tataramehelle, Uzunbabali, Garamalli, Kh-
illi, Banka villages of Nefchala region. (51) 
The question is how many people were victims of the 1918 mas-
sacres in diff erent regions of Azerbaij an? Is there exact informa-
tion about the victims? 
British brigade general R. Gorton described 20000 victims in 
his document sent to London in December 8, 1918. Likewise, R. 
Mustafazade indicated 20000 in his book. However, A.Balayev 
specifi ed 30000 victims, so did the document of the Emergency 
Investigation Commission. Whereas, the book published by the 
Parliament of the Republic of Azerbaij an notes that 50000 Muslims 
were undergone massacres. (52) But facts indicate that there is a 
great likelihood that more victims will be disclosed as long as the 
researches are continued to carry out.
The crimes committ ed by Armenians towards civilians in 
all periods, including in 1918 are tantamount to the Holocaust 
against Jews in 1933–1945. The director oft he Holocaust Research 
in Ukraine Analoty Podolsky remarked on the massacre that Azer-
baij anis undergone in 1918: “This massacre was conducted by the 
hands of Armenians while establishing the Soviet government by 
force. Today the realities should be expressed on this massacre”. 
(53) 

103
Michael Smith writes in his “Memories on Lost People and the 
Azerbaij ani society” that there are three mourning days that exist 
in the calendar of Azerbaij an–the genocide day of Azerbaij anis in 
31 March of 1918, “Holocaust” day in Khodjali in 26 February of 
1992 and the 20 black January of 1990.
These tragedies took place mainly because we forget our his-
tory. The history of the nation that forgets its own history is re-
peated. If the 1918 events were not removed from memories of 
Azerbaij ani nation by false history of the 70 year long Commu-
nist regime and if the park by name S. M. Kirov was not placed 
where thousands of civilians of 1918 March massacres lay under 
the ground, then black January of 1990 and Khodjali tragedy of 
1992 would not happen. If we were not indiff erent to the destiny 
of displaced people in Baku, Shamakhi, Guba and in other places 
in 1918, then today we would not encounter the problem of more 
than one million refugees and displaced persons.
In order to prevent the threats on time and avoid new tragedies 
in future, we should thoroughly study the history and take lessons 
from it.
