Abstract:
Pan-Turkism has shown itself in two different decades in Iran: first in the Azerbaijan Democratic Party in 1945-1946 and secondly in the Muslim People's Republic Party in 1979. To maintain the social solidarity and national unity of Iran, it is crucial to study the influential factors of Pan-Turkism. To do this, we selected 400 subjects from four Azeri provinces – East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan, Ardabil, and Zanjan- as our research sample, using the multi-stage clustering sample. The regression analysis demonstrated that the independent variables such as insulting remarks from the press, relative deprivation, foreign mass media, Azeri ethnic elites, forbidding the Turkish Language, and arresting ethnic activists had significant relationships with Pan-Turkism. Key Words: Azerbaijan, Pan-Turkism, Azeri Turkish elites, relative deprivation, ethnic issues.

Tendency towards Pan-Turkism in the Azeri-populated regions of Iran Shaban Mohammadi, * Ahmad Rezaei, ** Nader Razeghi *** (Date received: 2022/02/04, Date accepted: 2022/05/05) Abstract Ethnic nationalism in Azerbaijan has manifested itself in two time periods: first in 1945 in the form of the Azerbaijan Democratic Party, which pushed the country to the brink of disintegration, and second in the activities of the Muslim People's Party in the early years of the Islamic Revolution.
Regression analysis of the data showed that the variables of inappropriate press content, relative deprivation, foreign media, ethnic elite activity, the prohibition of teaching the Turkish language, and the treatment of ethnic activists have a significant direct relationship with the dependent variable (Pan-Turkism).
