Zoroastrians in Turkey Posted in the _Zoroastrian Forum_ (http://www.topix.com/forum/religion/zoroastrian) Hello, I am a student from the Czech republic (Middle Europe) and two things, which I like very much, are a long distance travelling and zoroastrianism. In the next year I want to put both those passions together. On my holidays, I want to go by foot to Turkey, especially Istabul or surroundings. But - no matter how long I was googling, I haven't found any mention about zoroastrian centers in Istabul nor the whole Turkey, except the assertions that there are small communities in this country. Of course - I would like to visit some zoroastrian temples or meet zoroastrians on such a long way, but I'm afraid there would be none. So, my question is - do you know about some places, where can I meet zoroastrians in Turkey or along the way? ---------------------------------------------- Hi, if you want to meet zoroastrians and visit historical zoroastrian places you's better go to Iran Especialy cities like Kerman and Yazd ---------------------------------------------- As Ahmad said you have to visit the cities Kerman and Yazd in Iran to see Zarathustrian temples. There are also Zoroastrians in Mumbai, India. I was born in Turkey and I am one of the few Zoroastrians. Btw, I am a Zaza (Iranian origin) not Turkish.
There are some Zoroastrian communities in London, Paris and in Oslo (Norway) I advise you to visit _www.bozorgbazgasht.com_ (http://www.bozorgbazgasht.com/) -------------------------------------------------- i am persian zoroastarian from my mother side and father side i am egyptian christian .u should travel to tabriz as well baku yazd khorasan ,,,chakchaka temple in yazd is just beautiful,in turkey close to ira's border u can find some few zoro ppl ,,,but zoroz r from persia ,,,,,you sould visit zoroastarian temple in alum rock san jose california ---------------------------------------------------- zoroastrians more commonly known as parsee you can see the famous temples in mumbai, india. however if your from europe its best to go to London. there is a Zoroastian Brothers hall at Rayners Lane, London.
