  • Iran's Sunnis Resist Extremism, but for How Long?
    Atlantic Council SOUTH ASIA CENTER ISSUE BRIEF Iran’s Sunnis Resist Extremism, but for How Long? APRIL 2018 SCHEHEREZADE FARAMARZI ome fifteen million of Iran’s eighty million people are Sunni Muslims, the country’s largest religious minority. Politically and economically disadvantaged, these Sunnis receive relatively lit- tle attention compared with other minorities and are concen- Strated in border areas from Baluchistan in the southeast, to Kurdistan in the northwest, to the Persian Gulf in the south. The flare up of tensions between regional rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran over Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen would seem to encourage interest in the state of Iranian Sunnis, if only because the Saudis present them- selves as defenders of the world’s Sunnis, and Iran the self-appointed champion of the Shia cause. So how do Iran’s Sunnis fare in a state where Shia theology governs al- most every aspect of life? How have they been affected by this regional rivalry? Are they stuck between jihadist and other extreme regional Sunni movements on the one hand, and the Shia regime’s aggres- sive policies on the other? Is there a danger that these policies could push some disgruntled Iranian Sunnis toward militancy and terrorism? A tour of Turkmen Sahra in the northeast of Iran near the Caspian Sea, and in Hormozgan on the Persian Gulf in 2015 and 2016 revealed some of the answers. More recent interviews were conducted by phone and in person in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and with European-based experts. “Being a Sunni in Iran means pain, fear, anxiety, restrictions,”1 said a young The Atlantic Council’s South woman in a southern Hormozgan village.

  • Türkmen Halilarindan Öğrendiklerimiz
    ÇÜTAD Çukurova Üniversitesi Cilt 3, Sayı 2 Türkoloji Araştırmaları Dergisi Aralık 2018 ISSN: 2587-1900 Geliş Tarihi: 02.10.2018 E-ISSN: 2548-0979 Kabul Tarihi: 10.12.2018 TÜRKMEN HALILARINDAN ÖĞRENDİKLERİMİZ 1 Youssef AZEMOUN (Yusuf AZMUN) ÖZET Batı’da Türkmen halısına karşı gittikçe artan ilgiye rağmen bu halının ancak sanatsal ve teknik özellikleri araştırma konusu olmuştur. Bu makale Türkmen halısının bazı özelliklerini dilbilimsel açıdan ele alıyor.Yazıda uzun zamandır tartışma konusu olan halı sözcüğünün nasıl türediği açıklanıyor. Halı terminolojisinde ‘dokumya başlamak’ anlamındaki yügürt- fiili incelenirken Türkmen ağızlarında Türkmen çadırının, toplandıktan sonra yerde bıraktığı daire biçimli izi için yaygın olarak kullanılan yügürt > yüwürt sözcüğünün yardımıyla yurt sözcüğünün nasıl türediği ortaya çıkarılıyor. Aynı şekilde Eski Tükçede ‘kocanın kardeşi’ anlamına gelen yurç sözcüğünün etimolojisi de açıklığa kavuşturuluyor. Nikah kıymak (Azerbaycan Türkçesinde kesmek) birleşik fiili konusunda kimse pek kafa yormamış ve bu söz olduğu gibi kabul edilmiştir. Arapça nikah sözcüğünün Eski Türkçedeki karşılığı ‘düğüm’ anlamındaki tügün’dür. Bu yazıda nikah/ tügün kıymak deyiminin halyla ilgili olduğu açıklanıyor. İngilizcede evlenmek için to tie the not/ düğüm atmak deyimi kullanılırken bu deyimin Türkçe karşılığı tügünü kıymak/ düğümü kesmek’tir. Bunun halı ile ilgili olduğunu bir Türkmen evlilik ritüelinden öğreniyoruz: imam nikah kıyarken Türkmen kadın da bir düğümü keser gibi elindeki makası sürekli açıp kapar. Öte yandan Türkmen halısının en önemli desenine göl denir; her Türkmen boyunun kendisine özgü göl‘ü vardır. Bu desen Şamanizm’in yir sub kültü ile ilgilidir. Yir kavramı da Şamanizm’de kutsal sayılan dağ ile ifade edilir. Dağda yaşayan hayvanlar, meselâ dağ koçu konurbaş da kutsaldır. Türkmen halk müziğinde konurbaş mukamı vardır.

Flora, vegetation and habitat diversity of the wetlands were surveyed during growing seasons of 2014 and 2015. A total of 159 plant taxa belonging to 123 genera and 42 families were determined in the studied wetlands. Asteraceae, Amaranthaceae (including Chenopodiaceae) and Poaceae were the most species rich families and Suaeda, Salsola, Atriplex, Plantago and Tamarix were the most species rich genera. A floristic analysis indicated that therophytes and pluriregional elements predominated life form and chorological spectra, respectively. Studied sites were physiognomically classified into aquatic, emergent, and dry upland habitats which represent 6, 68 and 26 percent of all plant taxa, respectively. Halophytic species constitute a large part of flora, among them Puccinellia poecilantha recently recorded in the area is considered as a rare plant.

Abstract Today, radicalism ethnocentrism has become a primary source of violent armed conflicts inside the country and in some parts of the world and has entailed an attrition of nation-state's power. On the other hand, ethnic nationalism in some countries has targeted national integrity and the very foundation of the society. This paper seeks to respond to the question: What impacts does this ethnic scatteredness and diversity have on the order and security of the Islamic Republic of Iran? What solutions are there for the national integrity? That which is certain is the existence of various ethnic groups in Iran which have rarely caused conflicts and engagements; from the issue of Turkmen Sahra and Azarbayjan in the early Revolution to the strikes by Kurdish people in May 2010 which are all issues that have been effective on the public order and security of Iran.

  • Chapter Three: Perspectives on Ethnicity in Iran
    CHAPTER THREE: PERSPECTIVES ON ETHNICITY IN IRAN 1. INTRODUCTION In his celebrated essay “Ethnic Groups and Boundaries”, Barth (1969) criticized a then common view on ethnicity for assuming that ethnic phenomena come about due to contact between groups which are already culturally distinctive, often in a colonial setting. Rather, Barth reasons, we should “ask ourselves what is needed to make ethnic distinctions emerge in an area” (ibid, 17). What he seems to call for here is an historical perspective on ethnicity. During last three decades, a number of scholars in social sciences, political sciences, and history disciplines such as Aghajanian (1983), Kazemi (1988), Ayubi (1998), Ahmadi (1999), Hajiani (2001), Altaiee (2002), Abdollahi and Ghaderzadeh (2004), and Ghamari (2005) have attempted to analyze ethnic diversity in the Iranian society. They have discussed problems such as the existence of ethnic diversity in Iran, the social and political issues of ethnic diversity of Iran, the boundaries of ethnic groups in Iran, and the factors that have developed ethnic diversity in the Iranian society since ancient times. In this chapter, the main perspectives on ethnicity in the Iranian society have been discussed. On the basis of those approaches, the multiethnic nature of Iranian society is explained. In this way, historically, the rise of the plural society in the Province of Golestan with reference to Turkmen group has been presented. 48 2. PLURAL NATURE OF IRAN SOCIETY On the basis of above studies, two perspectives are presented on the multiethnic nature of Iranian society. According to a research in politic discipline on ethnicity, namely ‘Ethnicity and Ethnocentrism in Iran; Legend and Reality’, Ahmadi (1999) argues that Iran is not multiethnic in nature.

  • Preliminary Assessment of Distribution and Population Size of Wintering Little Bustards Tetrax Tetrax in Iran
    Bird Conservation International (2012) 22:279–287. © BirdLife International, 2012 doi:10.1017/S0959270911000281 Preliminary assessment of distribution and population size of wintering Little Bustards Tetrax tetrax in Iran MOHAMMAD E. SEHHATISABET, FAZEL ABDI, ABBAS ASHOORI, ABOLGHASEM KHALEGHIZADEH, ALI KHANI, KOROS RABIEI and MAHMOOD SHAKIBA Summary Little Bustard Tetrax tetrax surveys were conducted in Iran in autumn and winter from 2005/ 2006 to 2008/2009. Across northern Iran, Little Bustard presence was confirmed at 15 of the 84 sites visited during the surveys. Three main wintering regions were identified: the Moghan Plain in the north-west of the country, the Turkmen Sahra Plain at the south-east corner of the Caspian Sea and the Sarakhs Plain in the north-east, close to the Afghan border. Up to 10,050 individuals were counted in winter 2009 in the Moghan Plain, which was recognised as the most important area for wintering Little Bustards in Iran. The species was also found in good numbers in Miankaleh, Gomishan, Soufikam, Shour Lake and Sarakhs. Flocks comprising 51 to 500 individuals were the most commonly observed and represented 32% of occurrences. A marked increase in wintering population size was noted in recent years. The main wintering period in Iran extends from November to February. At a national scale, we estimated the Iranian wintering population of Little Bustards at 5,000–10,000 individuals. This preliminary assessment suggests the need for a nationwide survey, emphasising in particular the western, south-western and central parts of the country that were overlooked in our study. It suggests further that Little Bustards in Iran would greatly benefit from national and regional conservation programmes.
