A number of cultural events, including book distribution campaigns, are organized in South Azerbaijan on International Mother Language Day and Nevruz. The book distribution campaign, which started with the motto “Books is Turkish for Everyone”, was organized by many activists in many cities of Azerbaijan, including Erdebil, Meshashehr and Zenjan. Protesting Iran’s unilateral system, activists raised the issue of education in their native language and protested against the pressure in Iran.
