1993 Azerbaijani coup d'état
The 1993 Azeri coup d'état, also known as the Ganja Uprising, was a military coup led by Azerbaijani military commander Surat Huseynov. On June 4, 1993, Huseynov's forces led a march from the city of Ganja to the Azerbaijani capital of Baku in order to overthrow President Abulfaz Elchibey who was elected in independent Azerbaijan's first free election in 1992. The Russia-backed coup ousted Elchibey and installed Heydar Aliyev as president. Shortly afterwards, Russia would begin supporting coup attempts against Aliyev, such as the 1994 coup.[1]
