Although Persia is used to addressing Iran in vernacular, Iranians prefer to address their country with the name "Iran". The name Iran means "Aryan country" in Persian, because the earliest inhabitants of Iran are Iranians-Aryans.

Persian culture, represented by poetry, literature, music and dance, is deeply loved by people all over the world. The Iranian people also love their own culture very much and have made great contributions to the protection and inheritance of these cultures.
