Article three of the International Human Rights declaration acknowledged all languages are equal and at the same article calls for all countries to provide equal opportunity for the country’s local and national languages.
Past hundred years, in both Pahlavi and IRG regimes, the Non-Persian languages include Kurdish, Azeri, Arabic, Baluchi and …etic, have been denied and under severe pressures.
According to article fifteen of the Iranian constitution, having one language other than Persian as a course in the education curriculum is a right. In contrast, in the time of constitution preparation, no one of Non- Persian politics presented this right been denied and even the mentioned article never been executed.
