The announcement was made by Nematollah Payan, head of the Department of Islamic Guidance and Culture in East Azerbaijan Province.

"Licenses issued to these establishments are exclusively for catering services and do not constitute authorization for artistic activities," he stated.

Payan claimed that the department he heads aims to support "regulated" artistic activities. He also said the restrictions were necessary to prevent "content-related and financial violations" and maintain public order.

It was reported that a meeting held on November 9 approved the establishment of a joint working group comprising the Department of Islamic Guidance and Culture, the Public Places Supervision Department, and the trade union. The working group will continuously monitor the issuance of permits and the organization of live music performances.
