The Social Democratic Party ( Persian: فرقه اجتماعیون عامیون, romanizedFerqa'ye Ejtemāʿīyūn-e ʿāmmīyūn) was a political party formed by Persian emigrants in Transcaucasia with the help of local revolutionaries, maintaining close ties to the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party and Hemmat Party. [1] [2]

It was the first Iranian socialist organization. [4]

The party created its own mélange of European socialism and indigenous ideas and upheld liberalism and nationalism. It maintained some religious beliefs [1] while being critical of the conservative ulama [1] and embracing separation of church and state. [3]
