During the reign of Murad III, the Ottoman government attacked Iran in 986 AH / 1578 AD due to the weakness of the Safavids. The consequence of their invasion after 12 years of war was the separation of a much of the western part of the country, including Tabriz. During the First Istanbul Treaty, Tabriz and a considerable portion of Azerbaijan formally joined the Ottoman state. The Ottomans tried to permanently annex the occupied areas to their territory.
by building or repairing the forts in the first step, and appointing "Beyglerbeyg", "Qazi" and "Daftardar" for these areas in the second step. Shah Abbas I’s rise to power led to a complete change in political equations between the two states; accordingly, the course of events led to reclaiming of the lost areas through a series of military operations.
The developments in Tabriz and Azerbaijan during their occupation are completely unknown to IraniansBecause neither Safavid historians nor later Iranian scholars not paid attention to them. Therefore, the main approach of this article is to clarify the behavior of the Ottomans towards the people of the occupied areas and, in turn, the behavior of the people towards Ottoman agents. This research has been prepared based on the documents of the Ottoman Empire, in particular, "Daftarhaye Muhimme". In the present study, in a descriptive-analytical manner, using Ottoman-Iranian sources, a brief explanation of this ambiguous point in the country's history has been given.

The failure of the Qajar – era security agencies and organizations to act on legal standards has created a climate of mistrust with fear and concern among the citizens. Therefore, the Tabriz State Association as an institution arising from the Iranian constitutional aspiration, along with the establishment of institutions such as justice and the Appellate Court, considered the establishment of order and security an essential element of modern urban society and established the Tabriz Police Department. The present study aims at examining the causes of the formation of the “Tabriz Police Department” and comparing its performance with pre-constitutional security organizations by focusing on Tabriz, using a descriptive-analytical method and using library resources and newspapers. The findings of this study show that despite encountering numerous problems arising from the Tabriz’s eleven month resistance period and some of the misconceptions of the pre-constitutional period,Tabriz’s Police Department could perform its duties in accordance with the legal norms and avoidance of repetition in the short period after its formation and it have earned the trust of the citizens and, more importantly, helped to create an atmosphere of cooperation and mutual interaction between the people and the security and police forces

With the beginning of the Constitutional Movement of people in Tabriz, some of its preachers joined the Movement based on some former connections that they had with the reformist elements of the city. The preachers used their abilities and some unique guild privileges so that they were considered among the leaders of Constitutionalism in a short time. Thus, they actively participated in some constitutionalism related issues, the most important of which was forming “Mojahed” military forces. Due to some reasons, these two groups soon found common objectives and interests and became close comrades. Beginning with “lesser Despotism” and the attacks of anti-constitutionalists and the resistance of Mojaheds against them, Preachers, after a short hesitation, hurried to help “Mojaheds” and tried to turn the Resistance Movement from a pure military issue into a multifaceted attempt based on various national elements. Due to their familiarity with religious teachings and their use of preaching abilities, the preachers benefited from their social position among people to motivate people to accompany “Mojaheds” and responded to the religious attacks of the opponents of Constitutionalism. They also actively participated in some staff issues which were necessary for organizing the Resistance Movement. After reviewing the beginning of Constitutionalism Movement in Tabriz, the joining of preachers to the Movement, their role in forming military forces and some other changes, and based on reliable historical sources and research, this study tries to use a descriptive-analytical method to answer the following questions: what causes and reasons made preachers join the Resistance Movement? What subjects and issues did they emphasize in their preaches? The findings of this research reveal that Preachers considered the Resistance Movement as an admirable attempt for reviving constitutionalism. They believed that for this purpose the presence of religious-intellectual forces was necessary along with military forces. In their preaches they focused on faithfulness to the ideals of Constitutionalism, conformity of Constitutionalism and Mojaheds behavior with the religious principles, the opposition of despotism with religious principles and the necessity of development and progress of the country based on the objectives of Constitutionalism. As the most important thing, they focused on encouraging and helping multifaceted resistance against the supporters of Muhammad Ali Shah. This research is a study in the field of local historical studies of Tabriz in one of important periods of contemporary history of Iran.
