Summary/Abstract: The names of Tur and Xyon appear in Zoroastrianism's Holy Book, Avesta and Pahlavi works. These remind Turan, Turk, Hun. Two great civilizations that lived in close geographies for long centuries affected each other in various fields. Signs of this can be seen in essential religious, literary, and historical works and myths. The position of the Turks on the map is clearly political-cultural. Avesta and Pahlavi works are among the main sources of Turkish-Iranian relations.
