ACTIVITY OF AZERBAIJAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC’s DIPLOMATIC MISSIONS IN GEORGIA

Azerbaijan’s diplomatic representative in Georgia was authorized to hold talks and sign documents on behalf of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic’s government. The Kavkazskoye Slovo (“Caucasus word”) newspaper reported in its issue released on August 4, 1918 that the Azerbaijani government had vested general oversight over the work of Azerbaijani diplomats accredited in various government agencies of the Republic of Georgia in diplomatic representative Mammad Yusif Jafarov

The Caucasus issue unexpectedly took center stage in  the  agenda  of  the  French  and  British  governments in the second half of 1939 and the first half of 1940.  Wehrmacht’s  crushing  victory  over  Poland  in September 1939 and the ensuing division of the country between Germany and the Soviet Union in accordance with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which was concluded on August 23, had a shock effect in Paris and London.
