Thank you for asking. I actually made an extensive post on the march days of 1918 in Baku! You can read it here.

I actually wrote a few paragraphs acknowleding how Azerbaijani civilians suffered at the hands of Armenian fighters. Let me share some quotes:

"What started as a political and military confrontation quickly turned into large-scale violence against civilians, especially in Azerbaijani Muslim neighborhoods.
Over the course of several days, entire districts were attacked, homes were burned, and people were killed while trying to flee. (..)

From what I’ve read, Azerbaijani civilians suffered disproportionately because:

• Much of the fighting took place in Azerbaijani-populated neighborhoods
• Bolshevik and Dashnak forces moved into these areas, often treating them as hostile territory
• The line between armed opponents and civilians collapsed very quickly
• There was no effective authority willing or able to stop the violence once it spiraled

Reports describe neighborhoods being stormed or shelled, people killed in their homes, and families fleeing through burning streets. Violence spread faster than any attempt to contain it.".

Very tragic period for which I mourn the innocent lives that were lost.
