History and profile

Varlyq was established by Javad Heyat with Hamid Notghi and Gholamhossein Bigdeli and other Iranian Azerbaijani poets and writers in 1979.[1][3] Its main focus is on Turkic languages spoken in Iran, such as Azerbaijani, Turkmen, Qashqai, Khorasani, Sonqori dialects.

The magazine, in addition to research areas in Turkology, focuses on written Turkish literature and Azerbaijani literature in Iran and its alphabet, strengthening cultural links between Persians and Azerbaijanis. It also promotes Iranian Turks' issues in academic circles such as conferences and seminars.

Several contributors of the magazine were arrested by the Iranian authorities and put in Evin prison in September 2008.[4]

gollark: See, I like capitalism but dislike much of how the government works.
gollark: And because of that complexity you need to throw money at lawyers to deal with legal things and may have to settle for a bad outcome *even if you're innocent*.
gollark: The current legal system is in my opinion one of the worst aspects of our society, as the law is so large and complicated that one person literally cannot understand it all and they can be imprisoned due to not knowing.
gollark: You don't need to actually *do* anything. The communist revolution is just inevitable...
gollark: After the communist revolution we'll just make people delete eevil capitalist data.
