Bahram bey Nabibekov was born on 6 December 1884, in Sheki, Azerbaijan in a noble family. His father - Kasim bey - served as translator of oriental languages at the headquarters of General Kuropatkin in Turkestan. After receiving his education in Kutaisi real school, he entered the Constantine Artillery School in St. Petersburg. After graduating from Constantine Artillery School in September 1908, he was conferred the rank of podporuchik and assigned to the 20th Turkestan artillery brigade.
In 1911, he was poruchik, serving in 6th battery.[3] In 1912, he was assistant-chief of the 2nd Caucasian artillery practice polygon.[4] On 31 August 1912 Nabibekov was promoted to the rank of shtabs-kapitan. In the First World War he fought in the 20th artillery brigade at the Caucasian Front. He was decorated with the Order of Saint Stanislaus and the Order of St. Anna.
After the February Revolution in Russia, Nabibekov resigned and left for Baku. With the establishment of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic in 1918, he entered the Azerbaijan Army. In December 1918 Captain Nabibekov was appointed commander of the 4th Mountain Battery.[5] Then he commanded the 3rd Light Battery in the 2nd Artillery Brigade. In November 1919, he commanded mixed troops in Absheron near Shoulan-Turk guarding against a landing attempt by enemy troops. On 24 March 1920 Nabibekov was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
