The Center for Iranian Studies (IRAM) has been established to conduct research on Iran and Iranian affairs. Therefore, it is the first center of its kind in Turkey that focuses on Iran and its region. In this respect, IRAM is the first research center concentrating only on Iran and related issues. Since Iran possesses a high interest in the Middle East and Turkey, the center prefers to study the cultural, historical, social, political, and economic aspects of Iran and bring attention to the findings within Turkey and for international public opinion.
