Specific places are connected with independence — in Baku and Ganja. Each of them tells its part of the great story.
Places
In Baku the house has survived where Mammad Amin Rasulzade — the leader of the first republic — lived until 1920. It is one of the memorial places tied to the fathers of Azerbaijani statehood.
Nearby are old streets and oil-boom buildings, among which the events of 1918–1920 unfolded.
Places
The first government building of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was in Ganja, which became the temporary capital of the young state. It has survived as a monument of that era.
And in Baku the history is recalled by Istiglaliyyat Street — "Independence" — whose very name became part of the national memory.
