According to The constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran Article 15, Persian is the official and common language and script of the people of Iran. The documents, correspondence, official texts, and schoolbooks must all be in this language and script. However, use of regional and ethnic languages in the press, the mass media, and the teaching of their literature at schools, alongside the Persian language, is freely permitted.
However, the authorities of the Iranian government have provided the pretext for this principle so far, and millions of Turkish citizens have been denied the right to study in their mother tongue in Iran.
