In modern (Istanbul) Turkish, it means &quot;friend&quot; but during Mashruteh and later, in northern Iran/Caspian/Caucusus, it meant &quot;comrade&quot; (like Persian 'rafiq' and also Azeri 'yoldash') in the communist sense. It was used by the mojahedin who were among the most active azadi-khahan. (Not to be confused with Mojaahedin-e Khalq, etc who came later in the Pahlavi era.)</p> <p></p><p><a href="http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/conniebobroff/attention-azeri-speakers-and-communists">read more</a></p> http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/conniebobroff/attention-azeri-speakers-and-communists#comments Sun, 17 Jul 2011 15:57:18 +0000 ConnieBobroff 152709 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/conniebobroff/mohammad-ali-jamalzadeh <p>On page 640 in the 1998 issue of Iranshenasi*, Jalal Matini writes, </p><p><a href="http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/conniebobroff/mohammad-ali-jamalzadeh">read more</a></p> http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/conniebobroff/mohammad-ali-jamalzadeh#comments Mon, 18 Oct 2010 11:26:43 +0000 ConnieBobroff 124175 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main
