Abstract

The problem of issuing the press and publications by one of the constitutionally recognized religious minorities (aqaliyat-e dini) in the Islamic Republic of Iran should involve us in a discussion on some main questions. Firstly, how big the community is; secondly, in which language its books or press are published, and finally, what titles and with what frequency are issued.
