Abstract

The article deals with the relations of Azerbaijan with the United Kingdom after the Soviet occupation. The Soviet government in Azerbaijan, which emerged as a result of the April occupation, radically changed the system of diplomatic relations that existed during the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. Relations between the two countries began to deteriorate shortly after the new government saw Britain as an enemy of the working class and the peasantry. One of the main factors in the breakdown of relations was the arrest of foreign nationals in Soviet Azerbaijan, including representatives of the United Kingdom, and the failure to ensure the interests of Britain in the subsequent stages. The article examines the further development of Azerbaijan's relations with the United Kingdom and the impact of the Genoa Conference on these relations.
