The Contribution of the Dashnak Party to the Introduction of the Discourse of Violence into the Political Culture of Iran’s Constitutional Era
Mohammad Reza Alam * , Peyman Karimi
Abstract:   (181 Views)
Armenians constituted one of the most significant ethno-religious minorities in modern Iran, and the political transformations in the Armenian homeland—particularly following its partition between the Russian and Ottoman Empires during the Qajar period (1794–1925)—profoundly influenced their political activism. Within this context, the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) emerged as a radical political party with a background in armed struggle in the Caucasus. Concurrently with the intensification of the Iranian Constitutional Movement (1905–1911), especially after the measures taken by Mohammad Ali Shah Qajar (r. 1907–1909) against the constitutionalists, the party aligned itself with the constitutional cause. The principal research problem of this study is to examine the extent to which the Dashnak Party contributed to the introduction and expansion of a discourse of violence within the political culture of the Constitutional era. The necessity of this inquiry stems from the importance of identifying the factors that contributed to the radicalization of the political sphere and to the subsequent failures of the nascent constitutional system. This research has been conducted using a historical-analytical method and is informed by Samuel P. Huntington’s theoretical framework of political order (Huntington, 1968). The findings indicate that the organizational background and the model of armed struggle adopted by the Dashnak Party played a significant role in reinforcing violent tendencies within the broader constitutionalist movement.
