The Azerbaijan Democratic Party ( Azerbaijani: آذربایجان دموکرات فرقه‌سی, romanized: Azərbaycan Demokrat Firqəsi; Persian: فرقه دموکرات آذربایجان, romanized: Ferqa-ye demokrāt-e Āzarbāyjān) was a pro-Soviet, separatist, and pan-Turkist party founded by Jafar Pishevari in Tabriz, Iran, in September 1945. [6] [5] It depended on the Soviet Union and was supported by it. [6] The ADP was founded as an opposition party against the Pahlavi dynasty.[ citation needed] The Azerbaijani branch of the Soviet-supported Tudeh Party immediately defected to the ADP. [7] The ADP, like the Tudeh Party, was communist and pro-Soviet, but emphasized questions of ethnic identity over class identity. The ADP ruled the Soviet-backed Azerbaijan People's Government from 1945 until 1946 with Pishevari as premier.
