Azadistan or Azadestan (Persian: آزادیستان‎‎ Āzādestān meaning The Land of Freedom), was a short-lived state in the Iranian province of Azarbaijan that lasted from the early 1920 until September 1920. It was established by Mohammad Khiabani, representative to the parliament and a prominent dissident against foreign colonialism. Shortly after the Russian Revolution of 1917, Khiabani re-established the Democrat Party of Tabriz after being banned for five years, and published the Tajaddod newspaper, the official organ of the party.
