Abstract: (2105 Views)

The Islamic movement of Kurdish Hezbollah in Turkey was formed by being influenced by the Islamic Revolution and in line with its ideas. Despite the fact that its leadership and body were from Sunnis, this movement was inspired by the thoughts of Imam Khomeini and determined its path based on it and tried to institutionalize religion in the secular society of Turkey. Therefore, this article seeks to answer the question of how the Hezbollah movement in Turkey was able to be born in a militaristic atmosphere and in opposition to the left-wing and secular nationalist ideas that have a long history in this country, and then to become a comprehensive movement. And turned into a mass? The result of this research, which was carried out using documentary and library methods, in short, confirms that this movement, by emphasizing Kurdish-religious identity, was able to face a serious challenge to the far-right and Marxist secular parties, and the Islamic Republic of Iran can Taking advantage of the capabilities of this Sunni Islamic group, but influenced by Shiite thoughts, will provide a basis to prevent possible threats against Iran's national interests.
