Mutalibov 's failure to build up an adequate army , that he feared may not remain under his control , brought about the downfall of his government . On May 6 the last Azerbaijani-populated town in Nagorno-Karabakh , Shusha , falls under Armenian control . On May 14 the Supreme Council of Azerbaijan hears the case on the Khojaly Massacre , relieves Mütallibov of any responsibility , reverses his prior resignation and restores him as the President of Azerbaijan , but the day after , May 15 , armed forces led by the Azerbaijan Popular Front take control of the offices of the Parliament of Azerbaijan and Azerbaijani State Radio and Television , thereby deposing Mütallibov , who leaves for Moscow ; the Supreme Council of Azerbaijan is dissolved passing the duties to the National Assembly of Azerbaijan formed by equal representation of Azerbaijan Popular Front and former communists . Two days later , while Armenian forces take control of Lachin , Isa Gambar is elected as the new Chairman of the National Assembly of Azerbaijan and takes on the temporary duties of President of Azerbaijan until the national elections due on June 17 , 1992
