Iran in 1979 was one of Poland’s most important business partners in the Middle East. After the Iranian Revolution the situation changed dramatically. The available documents allow previously unaudited Polish–Iranian relations to be researched and reveal attempts at the closing of both countries in the 1980s. The climax of these attempts was a visit by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Marian Orzechowski to Tehran in 1987. Showing a complete picture of these contacts required research of documents from the Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Newsreel, and the Institute of National Remembrance in Warsaw. Results of the research were compared with information in the Polish press and the interview with Professor Orzechowski as well as with his written memoires. Orzechowski’s visit to Iran was an actual resumption of Polish–Iranian relations, which had ceased as a result of the Iranian Revolution in 1979.

The revolution in Iran began under anti – imperialist and national slogans against Mohammad Reza Pahlavi single rules, and ended with the advent of the new dictatorship of religious circles. The United States and Western Europe approved the change of power in Iran, fearing of the Communist influence. What is more, PRL newspapers put a sign of equality between the U.S. policy in Iran and the rule of the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, stressing that the U.S. will accept each and every amendment on the Iranian political scene in order to safeguard the interests in the Middle East. Iranian-American relations in the Polish press were characterized by complexity and uncertainty resulting from the presenting the United States as a declining leader of the ailing world in the 80s.

The following paper constitutes a part of my master thesis on the consequences of the 1979 Iranian Revolution on Kurdish folk music. The strong identity claimed by the Islamic Republic of Iran and particularly by Ruhollah Khomeini led to an obscuration of the Iranian cultural plurality, dominated by the Persian culture. Iranian music is often understood as Persian music while regional genres were confined to small areas. The domination of folk and regional identities by institutional, more-erudite identities is not limited to Iran but can be observed worldwide; however, the restricted access to music and research in the years following the Iranian Revolution enhanced this tendency in the country. In other words, vernacular genres including Kurdish folk music were denied a global presence and are still overshadowed by the dominance of classical music. Academic works made shortly after the revolution by important figures such as Jean During highlights a confusion between what was intended as folk music by the Kurdish population and what was perceived as such by foreign researchers. For this reason, the distinction between vernacular and classical music is still enforced nowadays, leading to an increasing gap between Persian culture and that of Iranian minorities. Furthermore, with Kurdish folk music being a regional genre and as political conflicts arouse between Iranian Kurds the Islamic Republic of Iran after 1979, Kurdish music is often perceived through a political lens only, denying the variety of reasons a genre may become popular and reducing music to a mean towards an objective. Through the perception of Kurdish folk music, this paper interrogates how political conflicts and cultural hegemony in music affects the representation of vernacular identities and seeks to explore how this participates in the discrimination of minorities.
