Abstract Social Movements have a great effect on the destiny and structure of the society, as far as they cause many changes in the society and international relationship in one side, and prevent from some specific changes on the other side. Since social movements are against current social order, they can be the source of many changes in the structure and upcoming destiny of the society. The discussion over racial movements in multi-racial society is also crucial. In Iran, there are different races such as Fars, Kurd, Baloch, Lore, Turk, Arab, etc. which in different ages caused many movements and parties that affected the central policy of the country. In this study, we study the movements of Baloch race and their roots, goals, and causality. And these movements have been criticized according to Charles Tilly's theory. The research method in this research has been historical-analytical. It can be said that the emergence of social movements in Balochistan of Iran, has been largely influenced by ethnic movements in Balochistan of Pakistan. Also, the present study shows that regional factors have been the most important factors in encouraging the independence thoughts among Baloches. Some of the racial Baloch-based movements are the Independence Movement of Doust Muhammad Khan, The liberator Front of Balochistan, The Democratic Party of Balochistan, and The Muslim League Party. According to Tilly's theory, these movements were not national movements, because governments did not play much of a role in organizing and directing these movements, but were more like revolutionary movements.
Keywords: Social Movement, Baloch ethnic group, Ethnic Social Movement, Ethnic Movement.

Abstract Ethnocentrism amongst ethnic groups in Iran is one of the most important factors that endanger the social and cultural solidarity of our country. Pan-Turkism is a kind of ethnocentrism. Pan-Turkism emerged in the Russian Empire in the nineteenth century. In order to eliminate the Persian from previous Persian territories in the Caucasus, the Russian supported the idea of pan-Turkism. After the Russians, the Ottoman Empire advertised this idea to save its empire in the First World War. That is why they attacked Iranian Azerbaijan in 1918. Then the Soviet Union helped the Democratic Party to form a pan-Turkic state in Iran. Generally speaking, three factors of external forces, the Azeri elites, and the political system influence Pan- Turkism. In the present study, we attempted to examine the external forces and factors influencing Pan-Turkism in Iranian Azerbaijan through conducting a survey. For this purpose, we chose 400 respondents from East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan, Ardabil, and Zanjan provinces, using the clustering sample method. Then we interviewed the respondents. Finally, we analysed the data by the SPSS software. The regression analysis revealed that the independent variables explained 33 percent of the changes of Pan-Turkism as the dependent variable.
Keywords: Azerbaijan, Pan-Turkism, External Factors, Foreign Mass Media, Distortion of History.

Modernity & Encounter of Kurdish Intellectuals in Kurdistan newspaper (1898-1902) 1
Jahangir Mahmoudi2 & Omid Ghaderzade3
Received: May. 27, 2018; Accepted: November. 05, 2018
Abstract Ottoman modernization from a political and military point of view led to the decline of cultural pluralism and the emergence of political-administrative centralism, and from the social and cultural point of view, educational and bureaucratic structural reform led to the formation of modern social classes and intellectuals. The present study aims to examine the texts of the Kurdistan newspaper (1898-1902) as one of the manifestations of late modern intellectual ideas. The Kurdistan describes modernity and its initial encounter as enlightening and Kurdish political, social and cultural backwardness. According to the contextual and intertextual situation of the newspaper, competing discourses such as the discourse of Ottoman reformism and Kurdish nationalism can be named. Also, these contradictory discourses stem from the uneven development of the empire and the formation of a Premature nationalism with little material basis at the time. In sum, what the first generation of Kurdish intellectuals made of the concept of modernity was an enlightening conception of the backwardness of Kurdish society, which saw science, knowledge and learning as techniques for the development of Kurdish society and the unity and understanding of past history as the path to political development. This understanding of modernity was actually the founder of questions fundamental to Kurdish political-intellectual discourse: namely science and consciousness as a way out of the backwardness of society and the idea of the nation as a way of freedom and political development of Kurdish society.
Keywords: Colonial Modernity, Ottoman Empire, Kurdish intellectuals, competing discourses, Kurdistan newspaper.

Abstract The aim of the present survey is to recognize and describe the relations between Talesh, Turk, and Gilak races. In this study, the qualitative method and semi- structured interview have been employed. The results of the study revealed that there are normal and positive communications between the three races in terms of social and economic relations. Although there are remarkable similarities and cultural adaptation in terms of language and customs, there are differences in cultural relations due to this fact that Turk people consider their culture closer to Talesh's in observing some bonds generally. Regards to cultural differences, Gilak people feel a closer relationship to Talesh people due to long years of neighborhood and coexistence. Talesh people stated that the cultural features/traits of Talesh and Turk are similar too, in terms of some cultural issues such as the way of clothing and some bonds and customs like marriage. Although the three races in the first instance admit definitely that they're all Iranian and Muslim in terms of political relations and this fact that the ethnicity has no effect on their relations, decisions and political behaviors, but they believed that ethnicity and religion have an impact on political power, position and management. Talesh people and especially the Sunni of the region underestimated their portion of having valuable opportunities and sources. The respondents believed that there are natural differences between races but the government's way of policy-making intensifies the differences and makes them more noticeable.
Keywords: Ethnic Relationship, Ethnicity, Talesh. Turk, Gilak.
