| The Armenian community of ] formed when the ] started in the late 19th century. That time Baku and Azerbaijan was a part of ] and many Armenians from neighboring Armenia which was also part of Czarist Russia, moved there. But the construction of Ermenikend started later, when Baku further expanded, when Azerbaijan, after a brief period of independence as the ] during 1918-1920 with the collapse of Czarist Russia (and also Armenia which went through the same brief stage as well) was invaded and annexed by the ] as the newly formed ] in 1920. The settlement became part, with the steady expansion of the city of Baku. Officially the district was part of a larger district named "Shahumyan" after the Armenian ] leader ] who lived in Baku. Ermenikend was designed to be the home of oil-workers. The Soviet architects Samoylov A.V. and Ivanitsky A.P supervised the architecture of Ermenikend in the 1930s. The central part had 3-4 storied buildings in the style of ] (near the Mughan hotel). With the influx of many other nationalities and with the dispersal of the Armenian community to other districts of the city, the district lost this distinction and the nickname gradually disappeared. After the ] on January 13–15, 1990, the Armenian community of Baku fled the country. | |||
