Page "Abdolhossein Teymourtash" Paragraph 3

As one of the earliest historians to have extensively examined Teymourtash's life has noted, " possessing a pronounced western outlook on life, he is said to have been by far one of the most cultivated and educated Persians of his day ”.

As such, apart from his significant accomplishments as one of the masterminds of the early Pahlavi era where he devised a number of fundamental bureaucratic reforms and navigated his country's foreign relations, Teymourtash has been credited with playing a significant role in shaping the intellectual and cultural currents that transformed Iran in the first half of the Twentieth Century.
