I, too, believe that the slower processing rate of immigrant visas for Turkish citizens by the consulate is caused by political decisions against Turkey.
Additionally, most of the Iranian backlog was caused by Trump's "Muslim ban" rather than covid... they were basically not able to get immigrant visas for three years before the pandemic started, and traditionally there is only one consular officer at the immigrant visa unit who can speak Farsi, so I believe this did not change... I think the amount of Persian applicants that are getting visas is normal, the problem is with the number of Turkish applicants...
