Abstract
From the beginning of the twentieth century, with the occurrence of deep political, social, and civil upheavals in the political poles of the Middle East, the destinies of the peoples living in this geography began to change. The cries of these peoples, rising in the flow of new thoughts, began to circulate from nation to nation like a chain, and the melodies of freedom began to leap from one people to another. The freedom movement that took place in Russia starting from 1905 is considered the beginning of this freedom movement. This freedom movement, which later spread to the Qajars and Ottomans, moved in the direction of limiting the unlimited powers of the ruling authority and ensuring the participation of the people in governing the country. Because Azerbaijan was a neighbor to Russia and the Ottoman Empire, it did not remain aloof from these political and social upheavals. The Baku, Tiflis, and southern elite and merchant class, who were in close contact with the Ottomans, gradually brought the ideas of the Russian Socialists and the Ottoman Committee of Union and Progress (Turkists) to the Azerbaijanis. In this article, we will discuss the influence of the Ottoman Committee of Union and Progress on the Azerbaijani Constitutional Movement.
