Fatali Khan Iskandar Khan oghlu Khoyski[1][a] (Azerbaijani: فتحعلی خان اسکندر خان اوغلی خویسکی, Fətəli xan İsgəndər xan oğlu Xoyski; 7 December [O.S. 25 November] 1875 – 19 June 1920) was an Azerbaijani attorney, a member of the Second State Duma of the Russian Empire, Minister of Internal Affairs, Minister of Defense and, later the first Prime Minister of the independent Azerbaijan Democratic Republic.[8]
Following the opening of the Azerbaijani Parliament's sessions, the third government cabinet was formed. The prime minister in the new administration, Fatali Khan Iskandar Khan oghlu Khoyski (1875-1920) also served as foreign minister.
On these democratic conditions, the first republic was established in the life of the Turkish nations. Fatali-Khan Khoysky (...) became the first head of the young republic, equipped with an unusual authority.
Within this grouping, Fatali Khan Khoisky emerged as a leading figure. Born in 1875 of a noble family that had been the khans of Khoy, in Iran, Khoisky graduated from the Moscow Faculty of Law in 1901 and subsequently worked as a lawyer and judge.
The final collapse of the Central Powers resulted in 17 November 1918 in the return to Baku of British forces, this time under Major-General Thompson, who established de facto working relations with the local Mussavat government headed by Fath Ali Khan Khoisky.
After the liquidation of the Baku Commune, the Azeri government headed by the Musawat leader Fath Ali Khan Khoysky moved from Gandja to Baku.
Although the Azeris possessed the best prospects with a regionally dominant Ottoman state, Azerbaijan's 'Act of Independence' was, like those of the other two Transcaucasian republics, strikingly subdued in its tone. Indeed, the soon-to-be prime minister of the republic, Fathali Khan Khoisky, was himself ambivalent about independence.
During Operation "Nemesis", former Prime Ministers of Azerbaijan Fathali Khan Khoysky and Nasibbek Yusifbekov (...) were killed.
