1918 massacre of Armenians in Baku
The September Days refers to a period during the Russian Civil War and the Battle of Baku in September 1918 when Armenian inhabitants of Baku, Azerbaijan, were massacred by Enver Pasha's Army of Islam and their local Azerbaijani allies when they captured the soon-to-be capital of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. It is estimated that around 10,000 to 30,000 ethnic Armenians were killed in the violence.
