Overcoming the rebellious moods of the Muslim-populated regions controlled by Azerbaijan, establishing law and order were important guarantees for ensuring the sovereign rights of the First Republic and its further existence. And only after the peaceful negotiations reached a deadlock and the possibilities through interstate channels were exhausted, the government resorted to military force and re-established the powers of the RA authorities in Zangibasar, Vedibasar, Surmalu and other regions.
