Google showed this doodle for users in Afghanistan , Kyrgyzstan , United Arab Emirate s, Azerbaijan , Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan . Around 300 million people celebrates Nowruz while 80 million of them reside in Iran . But Iranian couldn’t see this logo and it’s been turned off for them . However Bing showed an special wallpaper for Iranians in its homepage .
