What about Kurds, who make more than 20 percent of the population.

penisprotz - These people are of Turkic origin (It is believed, as there is no CONCRETE evidence) but to call them "Turkish" is to go one step too far. If they're "Turkish", then what is the population of Turkey today, which is a potpuri of Iranian, Greek, Turk, Armenian, Bulgarian, Albanian, etc, etc.

Historically, the Qashqai are believed to have come from Central Asia[citation needed], and may have been among the Turkic groups that arrived in Iran in the 11th or 12th centuries. Some of these groups began to identify themselves as Qashqai in the 18th century or possibly earlier.

According to the Encyclopedia Iranica, they are "a conglomeration of clans of different ethnic origins, including Lurs, Kurds, and Arabs. But most of the Qashqai are of Turkic origin."
