The Muslim Social Democratic Party, usually referred to as Hummet, was a political party in Transcaucasus. In 1920 it merged with the communist cell in Baku and Adalat, forming the first Communist Party of Azerbaijan.[1]

[edit] "Old" Hummet (1904 - 1920)

At the end of 1904, the Baku committee of the Russian Social Democratic Party created the Hummet in order to attract Muslim workers. Prominent Hummet politicians included Mammed Amin Rasulzade (until 1913), Meshadi Azizbekov, Prokopius Dzhaparidze, Sultan Medjid Efendiev and Nariman Narimanov. A series of arrests in 1911 weakened the activities of the party, but after the February Revolution, the Hummet renewed its operations. From 1918 to 1920 the Hummet was represented in the parliament of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. On February 20, 1920, it merged with the Adalat Party, the Ahrar Party of Iran and Baku Bolsheviks to establish the Azerbaijan Communist Party.

[edit] "New" Hummet

In 1992 a new social democratic party named Hummet was founded. The party has a low support and its policies are centrist and pro-government. Its leader is businessman Zakir Tagiev.
