Fereydan

Fereydan (Persian: فریدن; Georgian: ფერეიდანი; Armenian: Փերիա) is a region of Isfahan Province, Iran.

During the Persian punitive campaign undertaken in eastern Georgia by Shah Abbas in 1614–17 against his (formerly most loyal) Georgian subject Teimuraz I, both the region of Kakheti and the city of Tbilisi were devastated, and a large part of the population forced into exile.

Under forced labour,[1] Georgians constructed bridges and organized the improvement of the farmlands of the Fereydan valley.

[2] After their forced migration, Persianization, and islamisation,[3] few of the Fereydan Georgians were able to maintain any contact with their motherland.

Georgians are natives in: Fereydunshahr County Buin va Miandasht County Fereydan (or Peria) was and still is populated by Armenians who were brought to this part of Iran by Shah Abbas of Safavid dynasty in 1603 and 1604, following the Nakhchivan deportations.
