  • Official ideology in Iran obstinately continues to deny the existence of Azerbaijani/Turkish people and a Turkish language...An official ideology [denying the existence of the Turkish people] has been imposed on universities, legal institutions, political parties, the press and media...For example, Iranian universities which follow the official ideology give up scientific truth and deny the reality of the Turkish nation.

  • Ultra-nationalists control the information that is presented about Iran and actively deny that ethnic tensions exists in Iran and scoff at any notion of racism. How can we progress as a society if the issue of racism is not addressed?

  • We have only to blame ourselves for not being organized enough to inform the western world about Iran's treatment of its ethnic minorities. Not only is hatred of these minorities practiced by Iranian government officials, it is endemic within Iranian society even here in the United States.
