From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ayatollah Shariatmadari Movement (South Azerbaijani: آیتوللاه شریتمداری حرکاتی; Persian: قیام آیت الله شریعتمداری) was a movement led by Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Kazem Shariatmadari and his supporters, advocating for the autonomy of the Azerbaijani provinces of Iran. The objections of the Muslim People's Republic Party to the newly established government after the Islamic Revolution of Iran eventually led to a mass confrontation between the two sides. This conflict was particularly evident in the city of Tabriz, considered the center of Azerbaijan.
