Investigation of Ethnic and Security Structures in Northwest of Iran

Iran is a country of diverse ethnicities each rooted in a particular geography. The northwestern region has long been home to ethnic minorities such as Kurds and Azeris. But alongside the ethnic structure of Iran's political geography, another issue that should be addressed is security structures because the latter is a kind of micro and macro human relations process. The purpose of this article is to examine the ethnic and security structures of the northwestern region of Iran. The main question of the article is that what structures does the region have in terms of both ethnicity and security? The research hypothesis is that the security structure of an area is the result of the inter-ethnic and inter-ethnic relations of individuals and their orientation towards the geographical, territorial, economic, political, cultural and social geographical environment of their surroundings and beyond. The method of this article is descriptive-analytical. The results of the article show that northwest of Iran is a region with an ethnic structure and consequently a special security structure that has also had a history at the national macro level and therefore for scientific management and planning and then more effective ethnic-security policy in the region and even the whole country the ethnic and security structures of this area must be properly understood.
