The South Azerbaijanis are concentrated in north-western Iran and make up the largest minority in the country. Since the establishment of the Pahlavi regime in 1925, Azerbaijanis, as well as other minorities in Iran, have been subjected to cultural, linguistic, and economic discrimination in law and practice. Farsi continues to be the only language of instruction in the Iranian education system within the multilingual country of Iran. Insufficient language education combined with systemic disparity means that many Azerbaijani people cannot escape generational poverty and remain economically and socially stagnant within their communities.
