Iran newspaper cockroach cartoon controversy information
2006 controversy over a cartoon in Iran
Cartoon that started the controversy. The boy tries to address the cockroach using different forms of soosk (Persian word for cockroach) and in one of the cartoons it answers Namana? (Azerbaijani word for What?)
The Iran newspaper cockroach cartoon controversy occurred in response to a cartoon drawn by the cartoonist Mana Neyestani and published in the Iranian Friday-magazine Iran-e-jomee on 12 May 2006.[1]
The cartoon describes nine methods of dealing with cockroaches by depicting a Persian-speaking child and a cockroach. During the first method, when the cockroach does not understand him, the child decides to talk to the cockroach in "cockroach language", but the cockroach does not even understand its "own" language and replies by saying "Namana?" ("What?" in Azerbaijani language) the cartoon has been interpreted by people as an insult to Iranian Azerbaijanis.
