The National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the Caucasus was a regional Bahá’í administrative body.
History[edit]
The National Spiritual Assembly of the Caucasus was formed in 1925. At some point there were two independent National Spiritual Assemblies for the Caucasus with one having its seat in what is now Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, and another with its seat in what is now Baku, Azerbaijan.[1]
The national bodies were disbanded in 1938 due to government pressure with many Bahá’ís in the region having been arrested and deported to Iran or Siberia and incidents of Bahá’í literature being seized throughout the 1930's.[2][3][4]
