When the Local Government of Azerbaijan was established under the Fiqa-yi Democrat. Its main aim was directed towards a comprehensive reform of all Azerbaijan, since the province had for the past 20 years during the rule of Reza Shah, been totally ignored and neglected, as we have attempted to show in this article. The reforms enacted in the single year that the Local Government survived exceeded all those introduced throughout the previous 20 years. They included land reform, division of land among the peasants, re-opening factories or building new ones, generally reducing unemployment, reconstruction of cities, resurfacing of roads, creating Fida I groups, establishing the local Army of Azerbaijan, improving education, introducing a national health service, reducing the crime rate, lowering of inflation, prohibition of profiteering and the black market, and ending the coupon system. Low was made equal for all Azerbaijani citizens, the local language was made the official one even in government documents. A theatre holding 800, and 50 general hospitals, with 700 beds were built. The author has tried to answer this question to what extent the local government of Azerbaijan was successful in its objectives or reforms.
