What is happening in Southern Azerbaijan? | Documentary
The Turks of South Azerbaijan have been facing oppression and assimilation policies in Iran for years. The ban on speaking Turkish, the restriction of cultural rights and especially the severing of the ties of the younger generations with the Turkish identity constitute the basic elements of this policy. While freedom of language is not implemented in practice despite the constitutional guarantee, the Tractor football club has become a symbol of resistance for the Turks of South Azerbaijan. In 2020, the poem recited by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan about the Aras River created a great wave of hope among the Turks of South Azerbaijan. However, Iran's support for Armenia during the Karabakh War was seen as a betrayal by many Turks and further increased tensions in the region. Under these conditions, will the 30 million Turkish population, despised by the Iranian regime and disappointed by the government's policies, be adequately represented by the newly elected leader of Turkish origin, Mohammad Pezeshkian?
