About

[edit]

Hasan Urangi was born in 1910 in Tabriz.[1] In May 1945, he was one of the members of the delegation from Southern Azerbaijan invited to Baku on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the establishment of Soviet power in Azerbaijan.[2][3][4]

On November 20, 1945, the Azerbaijan People's Congress began its work at the Ark Theatre in Tabriz.[5][6][7] Hasan Urangi also participated in the Congress as a delegate.[8] On December 12, 1945, the National Government of Azerbaijan was established.[9] Hasan Urangi was appointed Minister of Health in the newly formed government.[10][11][12][13][14]

During his tenure as minister of health, 35 hospitals, polyclinics, and outpatient clinics were built. Additionally, 38 medical stations were established in villages. The number of hospital beds reached 800, and the number of doctors increased to 200.[15] A medical faculty and a three-year medical technical school were opened at Tabriz University to train nurses.[16] To prepare mid-level medical staff, 5–6 month courses were launched. By the time the National Government collapsed, 120 medical workers had completed these courses.[15] While the Iranian government allocated 32,000 tomans for Azerbaijani healthcare in 1945, more than 5 million tomans were allocated for healthcare during the period of the National Government of Azerbaijan.[15]

Starting from December 11, 1946, before entering large cities, the Iranian army's thugs and civilian-clothed gendarmes began carrying out massacres in these cities.[17][18] These groups were called "Iranian patriots" by Tehran radio.[18] The main purpose of these groups was to eliminate democrats and facilitate the entry of the Shah's forces into the cities.[18][17] Tabriz and other cities in Azerbaijan were subjected to looting and massacres.[17][19] The Azerbaijan National Government collapsed.[20][21] Thousands of people were arrested. Among those killed in the massacres were members of the Azerbaijan Democratic Party, militants, and well-known poets such as Ali Fitrat, Sadi Yuzbendi, Jafar Kashif, and Mohammadbaghir Niknam.[22][23][24] On December 14, 1946, the Iranian army, supported by the USA and Great Britain, entered Tabriz.[25][26] After that, massacres and looting continued.[19][25] Hasan Urangi was arrested by the Shah's forces on January 16, 1947.[27] There is no information about his later life.
