A Look at the Life Background of the Late Aziz Shokri Azarbayejani, Veteran of the Province’s Industry
Social Acceptance and Good Reputation, the Valuable Legacy of Constructive and Influential Individuals
In the turbulent years of the second decade of the present century, in one of the cities of East Azerbaijan, a noble and reputable family named Shokri had a child whom they named Aziz. Aziz Shokri Azarbayejani spent his childhood in his hometown and completed his primary education there.
The social conditions of those years, especially in our beloved country, which was still experiencing the outcomes of the Constitutional Revolution, were such that enthusiastic and patriotic young people were drawn toward social activities. Aziz also spent his teenage years gaining valuable experiences and, in the social arena, witnessed that the majority of the country’s youth had to accept hard and exhausting jobs to support their families. Observing these hardships guided Aziz’s delicate soul toward activities that could bring more welfare to society.
His closeness with active social groups made him more skillful and mature day by day, and alongside his peers, he also experienced political activities.
In any case, in Kermanshah, Aziz had to begin working to earn a living. Therefore, together with his friend and companion, Mr. Ali Tohidi, he jointly established a modern mechanized industrial workshop producing mosaic tiles. Through the establishment of this industrial unit and their cooperative and understanding partnership, a successful business was launched, and later conditions for the growth and development of the production unit were also provided. Due to the ethical commitment of the partners and their diligent and proper management, the products of the units under their supervision always satisfied customers, and along with the production of acceptable and standard products, many job opportunities were created for the youth of this region.
In 1957, Aziz Shokri married in his second homeland, Kermanshah, and until the end of his life, he was grateful to God for this blessed marriage. He always remembered the loyalty, sacrifice, patience, and moral as well as religious commitment of his wife with appreciation
The outcome of this marriage was 5 capable and worthy children, who, under proper upbringing and guidance, each became honorable and devoted servants to society. His lofty thoughts and admirable ideals nurtured children who all pursued higher education and, in society, turned into constructive, influential, and entrepreneurial individuals.
