The Lilava district, also known as the Leilabad district is one of the districts of the Iranian city of Tabriz which was predominantly, and at times exclusively, inhabited by Armenians.[1] At the beginning of the 20th century, the Armenian community of Tabriz, which numbered some 6,000, lived in the districts of Lilava and Ḡala (Armenian: Berdaṭʿał).[2][3] The district played a crucial role in the early years of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation.
