Biography
[edit]A member of the Iranian Tariverdiev family, Haydar was the son of a certain Ali-Akbar.[1][2] He was generally referred to as "Amo-oghli", a nickname he later in his life received by the workers in Baku.[1] It is uncertain where he was born.[3] Some sources consider Urmia in northwestern Iran to have been his birthplace,[1] while the Iranian historian Abdul-Hadi Hairi consider him to have been born in Russian Armenia.[2] He was raised in Alexandropol in Russian Armenia, where his family had resettled.[1]
It was in Alexandropol that Haydar started his education, continuing his studies in higher institutions in Yerevan and then Tbilisi, where he graduated in 1899 with a degree in electrical engineering.[2] In his memoirs, Haydar claimed to have been political active since the age of 12. He was introduced to the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party and a group of socialists in 1898 while he was still a student in Tbilisi. In 1901, he became a member of the Baku branch of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party.[1]
