Iran Briefing Exclusive: The issue of the Iranian regime’s influence among the immigrant class of Iranians in foreign countries is not a new subject. After many years of physical assassinations in Europe of victims such as: Abdorrahman Ghasemlou and Shapour Bakhtiar, the Iranian regime is moving to financial and character-based assassinations.
The Republic of Turkey is one of the targets of Iranian regime in this aspect. Being its 
neighbor and having a growing economic market, the Republic of Turkey has been a financial catalyst for both state and private Iranian finance after sanctions. One of the attractions of Turkey for Iranians is the Turkish language, which is spoken by most Iranians. And that is why most of the Iranians who are financial activists in Turkey are from Iran’s Azerbaijani Turks, due to close distance and culture. Even though they are not a huge group, they have been able to gather income. This issue has made the Iranian regime worried. The empowerment of ethnic minorities in Iran is against the homogenizing policy of Iranian regime.
After 2010, the registration of companies managed by non-Turk Iranians grew [in Turkey] gradually. 90 percent of scholarships in Turkey were given to non-Turk Iranians. A part of the cultural departments in Ankara began to issue student identity cards to non-Turks, by receiving bribe. And it’s shocking to inform that 80 percent of Iranian students in Turkey are pro-regime. The process is not limited to this. Iran-Turkey’s Chamber of Commerce in Qom announced its decision that most of the companies, scholarships and Iranian institutes in Turkey must be controlled by pro-regime people within the next 10 years. By establishing great tourism companies, they began to absorb tourists and the wealth resources, then to gather information and to have field supervision. This move also will stop the access of Iranian Turks from Turkey’s market and universities. In this way, the Iranian regime established the great company (S) managed by (A. M.) in Istanbul. This company began its work with 50 billion dollars. Within couple of months, they obtained Turkish nationality for the manager with the same name as a well-known businessman from Tabriz. They began to publish Persian Magic Magazine, which is propaganda for Iranian regime’s racist policies.
This company, by gradually getting the control of tourism market and even making hotels cheaper than others, is trying to isolate non-governmental people and Iranian Turks from Turkey’s Tourism Industry. Most of the employees of this company are from Iranian regime, in spite of knowing no Turkish language.
Somehow, Iranian Azarbaijani and other ethnic minorities are not able to get employed in such companies, according to the high costs of life in Turkey. The Iranian regime, by fake propaganda of immorality [in Turkey], is trying to control the minds of Iranian students to execute its policies. The open atmosphere of Turkey is an opportunity for the students to grow up and discover the world in a peaceful space. But the Iranian regime, instead of promoting this space, is promoting immorality among intellectual class of people.
Making an open and free atmosphere in its tourist tours, the Iranian regime has isolated non-governmental tours. Iranian tourists are also eager to use the regime, IRGC and spying forces tours too [uninformed]. The IRGC tries to show its control outside of Iran, in addition to inside the country. Most of the exports and imports are being managed by IRGC. The exportation of Fluorspar- the primary material in the iron industry is somehow limited to IRGC and (N) company, belonging to (H.A.) brothers. Representatives such as (M. P.) are in continuous contact with Turkish companies for contracts and negotiations to monopolize funding in Turkey.
Turkey is also a suitable location to send weapons through to Syria and to circle the sanctions for the IRGC. Bringing out small amount of gold by (S) company confirms that the IRGC is in need of resources and foreign currencies. In addition, by making economic giants of Azerbaijan to be bankrupt such as Zonouzi and Tajfar, IRGC showed its intentions to isolate the class of society, which has jobs in Bevezeh in Azarbaijan. IRGC is a dreadful force, wearing different masks to plunder the Iranian people’s wealth. Also this evil force, by influencing International Organizations including UNHCR, with the personal details of Iranian refugees in Turkey, makes it difficult for them to hamper their exit from Turkey [to the third country]. It is trying to weaken the opposition and financially encroach on Iranian immigrants to monitor them. But what can we do except enlightening the public? These problems will be solved only by the falling of the Vilayat-e Faqih Regime in Iran.
In addition, the Mullahs’ regime and the IRGC, by establishing cultural institutes such as Kanoon-e Iranian (Iranians Center) in Istanbul, have made Turkey as their backyard for spying and an economic mafia. According to these issues, anti-regime and independent investors are needed, through the means of huge investments in such courtiers around Iran, to make the arms of Mullahs’ regime to be short.
