Muslim Socialist Bloc
The Muslim Socialist Bloc was a political party in Transcaucasus/Azerbaijan. The party was formed in the fall of 1917, as an Azeribaijani offshoot of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party. The main leaders of the party were Aslan bey Safikurdski and Ibrahim Haidarov. The Muslim Socialist Bloc had a predominantly agrarian party, with a loose organizational structure.[1]
The party obtained 159,770 votes in the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election.[2][3][4]
When the South Transcaucasian Seim was formed in 1918, the Muslim Socialist Bloc held seven seats: Ibrahim Haidarov, Ali Khan Kantemirov, Aslan Bey Safikurdski, Ahmad Jovdat Pepinov, Baghir Rzayev, Jamo Hajinski and Mahammad Maharramov.[5]
