Ethnocultural Description of the Persians (Socio-historical analysis)

Concepts such as the Persian nation, the Persian regime and the Persian ethnic group in the Islamic Republic of Iran appear in scientific and public literature. In the historical process, it is impossible to obtain reliable information that the Persians were the dominant people in Iranian geography. Research conducted in this direction shows that it is impossible to get an idea of the great unity of the Persian-speaking peoples, a single ethnic group and a single system of cultural values. At the same time, it is known that the Persian language is widely promoted, taught and celebrated as a poetic language in a wide area, especially in the Islamic cultural sphere. From this point of view, the role of the Persian language in this area, the process of formation of the Persian ethnic group and the study of aspects that hinder this process are topics that attract attention. The reasons for the absence or failure to form a major union of Persian-speaking peoples, as well as its failure to become the dominant nation in Iranian geography, express the picture that emerged from the study. Considering this issue in historical dynamics, one can identify an interesting ethnocultural picture. The concept of "Iranian", emerging as a result of the synthesis of language, religion and ethnicity, is presented as a modern Persian national identity. The article proposes an approach to the problem using the historical-comparative method.
