The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was the first successful attempt to establish a democratic and secular republic in the Muslim world (pre-dating the Republic of Turkey; see also Crimean People's Republic). The ADR was founded on May 28, 1918 after the collapse of the Russian Empire that began with the Russian Revolution of 1917 by Azerbaijani National Council in Tiflis. Its established borders were with Russia in the north, Democratic Republic of Georgia in the north-west, Democratic Republic of Armenia in the west, and Persian Empire in the south. It had a population of 2 million. Ganja was the temporary capital of the Republic as Baku was under Bolshevik control.

Fatali Khan Khoyski became its first prime-minister.
