Iranian Kazakhs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Iranian Kazakhs live mainly in the Golestan province in northern Iran. [1] According to ethnologue.org, however, there lived 3000 Kazakhs in Iran in 1982 in the city of Gorgan.[2] [3] The number of Iranian Kazakhs might have been silightly higher, because many of them returned to Kazakhstan after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, from where they had immigrated to Iran after the Bolshevik October Revolution."[4]
