Summary/Abstract: Having been under the sovereignty of many states throughout history, Azerbaijan had its first independence experiences as a republic between 1918-1920. Sefikurdski was one of the people who came to the forefront as a socialist figure among the intelligentsia working for the survival of the state in this period of independence of Azerbaijan. Having lost his father at a young age, he attended the Faculty of Law after receiving his primary education in Ganja and started his first political activities during his university education. He was the Minister of Post and Telegraph in the third government of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the Minister of Justice and Labor in the fourth government. There are many studies conducted about Sefirkurdski’s life, however, there is no independent study about Sefirkurdski in Turkey. The study aims to introduce Sefikurdski, who was an important figure in Azerbaijan’s political history, and to understand his activities.
