Khordad (newspaper)
Khordad (Persian: خرداد, romanized: Khordād / Xordād) was a Persian-language newspaper published in Tehran, Iran. It was available between 1998 and 1999. Considered to be a liberal reformist newspaper, its title was a reference to the "2nd of Khordad Movement", the Iranian reform movement. The word 'Khordad' is the New Persian continuation of Middle Persian Hordad, from Avestan Haurvatat "wholeness."
