Abstract

Followed the war of 1974 between Kurdish rebellions and Iraqi government, a new wave of Iraqi Kurdish asylums to the Iran came into existence and continued to 1988. In the result, hundred of thousand of Kurdish people fleed to Iran. Meanwhile, the return of all of those people after the 1991 revolution took even a longer time to materialize, since the return process started in 1991 and ended just few years ago. The main question of the research is to know that to what extend Kurdish people have been under the influence of Persian culture? Bearing in mind that the influence was obvious, we want to know which cultural element had much more influence compare to the others? Furthermore, it is a qualitative research with focus on ethnographic strategy. We used semi-organized interview and observation for collecting data. In the result, we realized that there exists a high amount of cultural influence on Kurdish people, as well as, the fact that the influence is differ from a person to another. The outcome of living in a different culture and being influenced by that culture, derived them to have their own microculture by now.
