"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 .
