Also, liberals of Khoy formed the Mojahid groups and started to encounter the royalists of Maku to defend the gains of the revolution. The outcome of these conflicts appeared in the form of wars and massacres between the two parties. This descriptive-analytical study has shed some light on the reasons, results, and the related issues leading to triggering of conflicts between the Constitutionalists of Khoy and despots of Maku. Findings indicate that differences in intellectual tendency and origin and social class of the royalists of Maku with the Constitutionalists of Khoy had an important role in conflicts between them. Also these conflicts were the reflection of opposition between the despots and constitutionalists in other areas of Iran. M3 ER -
