The Azerbaijan Democratic Party (Azerbaijani: آذربایجان دموکرات فرقهسی, romanized: Azərbaycan Demokrat Firqəsi; Persian: فرقه دموکرات آذربایجان, romanized: Ferqa-ye demokrāt-e Āzarbāyjān) was a pro-Soviet, separatist, and pan-Turkist party founded by Jafar Pishevari in Tabriz, Iran, in September 1945.[6][5] It depended on the Soviet Union and was supported by it.[6] The ADP was founded as an opposition party against the Pahlavi dynasty.[citation needed] The Soviet-supported Tudeh Party dissolved its Azerbaijan chapter and ordered its members to join the ADP. The ADP ruled the Soviet-backed Azerbaijan People's Government from 1945 until 1946 with Pishevari as premier.
