The leader of the movement, Hiyabani, founded the Democratic Party after the Constitutional Monarchy Revolution. This article focuses on the Hiyabani movement and the rivalries among England, Russian Empire, Ottoman Empire and İran in southern Azerbaijan during World War I. Armenians, Kurds and Assyrians (Nestorian, Syrian and Chaldean Christians) who were used both by Russia and England in southern Azerbaijan are also studied.

Keywords: Hıyabani movement, southern Azerbaijan, İran. pp. 31-45.
