Turk and Kurds conflict in Iran
The Kurds and Persians claim that Nowruz is a Zoroastrian holiday. The Islamic Republic of Iran does not officially celebrate Nowruz like the Shah’s regime did. This year, the regime either was unable to prevent the Kurds from gathering in Urmia or deliberately allowed them to celebrate Norwrouz to instigate Turk against the Kurds.
The Persian-dominated regime may wish to divide the Kurds from the Turks. But the Turk and Kurds’ ethnic conflict is actual. It may engulf other ethnicities in Iran.
Urmia is a city in one of the provinces of Azerbaijan. The Kurds claim that Urmia is a Kurdish city, and this year, they were able to bring thousands of Kurds to the streets for the Nowruz celebrations. The next day, the regime brought the Turks to Urmia and chanted that Urmia was a Turkish city. However, the regime will regret its cheap tactic soon. - Al-Ahwazi Arabs organised protest
