Abstract: (2088 Views) |
The constitutional (Mashrūtiyyat) revolution was an expression of the disillusionment of the intellectual current about the nature and political and social functions of the authoritarian government and the lack of community participation in the decisions. In that situation, Iranian Armenians were among the intellectuals who presented their views. The main factor of Armenians' desire to make demands was their sense of patriotism and their attachment to the land and water in which they were born and growed. In this research, with an analytical view based on the documents available in the Armenian archives in Iran and Armenia, the influencing factors on the coexistence and role of Armenians in Iran's constitutional revolution have been examined. The findings of the research show that the Armenians of Iran on the threshold of the constitutional revolution were intellectual and influential classes due to their economic functions and the acquisition of political and social positions. They were looking for codified law and equality of rights so that through it they could live in an equal environment. With its legal approaches, the constitution increased people's tolerance towards other religions and caused the presence and participation of Armenians in the prosperity and development of the country.
