<nowiki> Azerbaijanis suffered a painful defeat against Stepan Shahumyan's forces
The first branch of the Red Army forces moved westward along the Baku-Hajiqabul railway, leading to the Myusyuslyu Station, while the other branch passed through Hajigabul and reached Kyurdamir. The Red Army forces in the region gathered and attacked Kyurdamir. Resistance by the militia forces, which consisted of Azerbaijanis who tried to defend the city, was unsuccessful. The Red Army took control of the station, along with the city itself. [4] The occupation of Kyurdamir by the Bolshevik- Dashnak forces made the coalition forces in Ganja nervous. This was a serious hindrance to the advance of the Islamic Army of the Caucasus to Baku.[5]
