Özet:

Iran geography has been one of the places where Turks lived with intense population in history. Today Iran, following Turkey, is the country which inhabits most Turkish population. For that reason, Turkish is the most widespread language in Iran, following the official language Persian. However, when we look into the position of Turkish in Iran, particularly in Pahlavi period, the attempts of “Persianization” by the government caused Turks to rethink their identities and express themselves against these attempts. Therefore, Turks in Iran have reacted to these oppressive policies by starting some publication activities. After Pahlavi regime, the foundation of The Islamic Republic of Iran relieved the Turks in the least and they have had the opportunity to prepare some publications. In this paper, the status of Turkish in Iran is asserted starting from Pahlavi regime up to the present. In this context, the articles and books on Turkish in Iran have been analyzed and the status of Turkish in Iran has been enlightened from the year 1924 up to today
