Despite the disapproval of Iran, the Mousavatists chose the name of one of the northwest Iranian provinces for the newly established state and laying claims to far-reaching territorial intentions "from Baku to Batumi". The main opponent of the Mousavatists in the East Transcaucasus became the Armenian population, the core supportive force of the two political-administrative formations, i.e., Nagorno Karabagh and Baku Commune which originated during the process of dissolution of the Russian Empire.
