THE FIRST NATIONAL MILITARY SCHOOL IN AZERBAIJAN AND ITS FIRST GRADUATION

Abstract

The article analyzes the history of the foundation of the first national military school in Azerbaijan - the School of Podpraporshiks. The foundation of that school was laid before the declaration of independence of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. And after independence, a more favorable condition was laid out for the functioning of that military institution. By the order of the commander of the Caucasian Islamic Army, the turkish officers who arrived in Azerbaijan by the official invitation of the Government of Azerbaijan provided great assistance in organizing the training process. At the end of October 1918, the training process was completed and the cadets of the Podpraporshik School successfully passed the final exams and joined the army of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic.
