Southern Azerbaijani university students in Iran published a statement for the recognition of cultural rights and to put and end to the pressures that are implemented upon them.
Ethnic Azerbaijanis make up for about 30 million of Iran's 70 million population and like all other minorities they live in misfortune. For example there is a restriction on Turkish language in the universities in eastern Iran and these classes are completely removed in some universities. In southern Azerbaijan, names of some Turkish cities are replaced with Kurdish names to make them forget that they are Turkish and families of Kurdish origin are settled to these cities.
