The high tide of Lezgin mobilization in Azerbaijan appeared to have passed towards the end of the 1990s . Sadval was banned by the Azerbaijani authorities after official allegations that it was involved in a bombing of the Baku underground . The end of the Karabakh war , and Lezgin resistance to forced conscription , deprived the movement of a key issue on which to mobilize . In 1998 Sadval split into ‘ moderate ’ and ‘ radical ’ wings , following which it appeared to lose much of its popularity on both sides of the Russian – Azerbaijani border
