Many researchers studying the Turkic peoples have always referred to the Iranian Turks in their scientific activities and, considered Azerbaijan to be the center of Iranian Turkism. Therefore, it is extremely important to promote the issue of Iranian or Southern Azerbaijan when talking about Iranian Turks or Iranian Turkism. However, Azerbaijan is the center and thinking brain of Iranian Turkism not only during the millennial Turkic power but also today. Iran's political history has repeatedly shown that the Azerbaijanis living in Iran play a decisive role in society and it is taken as a paragon for all Iranian Turks. Definitely, the Tabriz environment, which has an ideological and cultural impact on all Iranian Turks, is the main center of Azerbaijan. After the overthrow of Ahmad Shah Qajar in 1925, the Pahlavi dynasty took the throne of Iran and began to pursue a policy of discrimination against the Turkic peoples in all spheres of society throughout his rule. This process took a different form after the overthrow of the Pahlavis. However, the Azerbaijanis never remained silent against national oppression and fought with honor to protect their rights. Both during the Pahlavi period and after the Islamic regime came to power, Azerbaijanis living in Iran made serious efforts to protect their rights.
