Early life

Aghayev was born in 1875 in Elisabethpol, Elisabethpol Governorate of Russian Empire.[1][2] Aghayev, whose education was financed by Azerbaijani businessman Haji Zeynalabdin Taghiyev, graduated from the Medical Department of Moscow State University in 1901. After graduation, we worked as a public doctor and was a part-time journalist, writing for several Azerbaijani newspapers such as "Irshad", "Taraggi" and "Heqiqat", the editor of which was composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov.[3] The main focus of his articles in newspapers was on elimination of social causes to diseases and illnesses. He was also active in social and cultural life of Baku. During the second teachers' congress in 1907, he was elected Chairman of Nijat Enlightenment Society.[4] In 1911-1912, he published "Cənubi Qafqaz" newspaper in Elisabethpol. He also chaired the Muslim educational committee in the same city in 1911. In 1914, in cooperation with Khudadat Rafibeyli and Musa bey Rafiyev, he founded Medical Society of Elisabethpol.[1]

On December 7, 1918 Aghayev and Mammad Yusif Jafarov[5] were elected Deputy Speakers of the National Assembly of Azerbaijan and because the speaker of the assembly, Alimardan Topchubashev was part of the Azerbaijani diplomatic mission attending Paris Peace Conference, 1919, Aghayev was acting chairman of the parliament until February 2, 1920.[1][6] After occupation of Azerbaijan by the 11th Red Army in April 1920, Aghayev moved to Tiflis.
