Speech of Islam scholar and Iran expert Dr. M. Azmayesh at the UN in Geneva, the culture of Iran’s Human Rights Council is like a carpet. A carpet with many and varied colors and patterns that are intertwined and linked. We can compare this with the various nations who live in a country called Iran, where all nations understand as part of Iran. So have for example Iranian Baluchis, Arabs, Turkmen and Lurs are still their own languages, ethnicity and culture. Within each ethnic group, there are also different faith affiliations.
It is found not only diverse ethnicities in the Iran, but also a wide variety of world views and beliefs. A look at Iran should take into account the entire population and their great diversity. In General, you think, there’s a style of music in the Iran. However, each tribe has its own folk dances, music, dress and religious beliefs. All of these aspects taken together form a carpet with Name of Iran, where all together live and had patriotic feelings. Who is Muslim and who is not? It is simply wrong to claim the most Iranians are Muslims and only a small minority is not Muslim. The ethnic groups of Iran’s society consist of different Nations and different tribes.
When we say Lurs, Kurds and Baluchis, we talk about different Nations and tribes with own area affiliations. The Qashqai, which have their own culture and follow their own traditions are the largest tribe of the province of Khochan, for example. People of various ethnic groups speak not only their own languages, but have their own customs, costumes, joy – and funeral celebrations and even play music instruments, which depict a very own sound spectrum. A Turkmen Dotar is not Turkish ways to play and also the Kurdish tambourine not to play Turkmen music is suitable. The Turkmen Dotar is only Turkmen music against.
