This is because the Turkic attacking tribes picked up Persian culture on their way north.
Genetics or not Iranian Azaris see themselves as Iranian but the Azeris of Azerbaijan see themselves as Turks and are pushing for the Iranian Azaris to join them,against Iran.
That is correct but...
PM Erdogan is suppose to be the so called Islamist.....what would have a Kemalist leader have done, send the Turkish Airforce? No, he would have done the same as Erdo is doing now.
The truth is that Turks have the world fooled with this Kemalist vs Islamist divide but in reality when it comes...
I saw the full interview....regardless of the domestic policies I thought President Ahmadinejad represented Iran very well as an ancient civilized nation and held his ground with dignity and cleverness even when the questions were clearly to trap him. I was impressed.
Every Turkish poster here supports Turkey's stand on interfering and sending terrorists to Syria....and I know it won't make a difference in your collective stand if Turkey was so called Islamist or full bore Kemalist.....you follow the collective.
There is nothing Turks can ever do that would be a surprise to the Armenians, we have seen it all from you butchers....your cut throat commandos show up in Armenian lands they will be hunted like wolfs and hanged to dry.
No surprise here..... imagine what else they are pulling under the radar that doesn't get exposed.
Turkey cannot be trusted by any Muslim country....even the ones who kiss their hands. You guys have no idea who you dealing with.
14.5 mm is a very large caliber and the projectile itself is special armor piercing design. Looks like their is no magazine for this bolt action rifle and its a single shot (load a shoot).
Very impressive and from the video it looks like it absorbs the kickback pretty well. I am confused about...
That is far from the reality on the ground....Turkey wants its minorities assimilated as Turks (even then they are not seen as real Turks) but in Iran the minorities are integrated into the Persian society by their own will while maintaining their ethnic identity and culture.
The only thing...
Yes, and some of my friends are Turkish Iranians and they are very much Iranian patriots and do not relate to Turks of Anatolia ideology. Turks in Iran are a small minority like Armenians as far as I remember back then.....now as you know Azaris are ancient Iranian people where some have been...
Armenia was asked not to take any action and was promised from beginning by Hungry 's gov that the law will be followed and the killer will get the full hand of justice.
Now that this has happened and an convicted ax murder was sent back to Azerbaijan and pardoned and treated as a...
Think about what you saying....you do know that the Armenians who fought on the side of Russia were Russian Armenian citizens living in the Russian empire right?
If you want to keep it simple then think this way...
After the Turkish defeat at Sarikamish by the Armenian forces under Russian...
The bilateral relations with Azerbaijan is Turkey's biggest problem.....Aliyev don't want to be Ankara's lapdog anymore and has his own illusions of grandeur and plans that is in fact hurting Turkey and its panturkic ambitions.
Armenians couldn't ask for a better leader for Azerbaijan than...
The road and hike trails up the mountain have been polluted with trash. Here are some photos of Armenians who climbed Mt Ararat undercover.
The expeditions to the peak of our ancestral mountain continue. This time it is Homenetmen scouts from Israel that take the journey to the top...
To me the former PM Mossadegh was not a nationalist.....he was a true patriot.
There are many countries that are much more nationalist than Iran (including ultra nationalism) but I don't think any country can match the patriotism of so many different ethnic groups living as proud Iranians. I...
The title of this thread is offensive.....they are not traitors or saviors of Iran.
I thought Iran's President's interview with CNN was excellent and very well done by Ahmadinejad....very impressive. I am sure Obama was watching this.
If you open a thread that is related to Armenians then you should expect responses from the Armenian members. This is not about hurt as you put it or any trolling but opinion from the Armenian side. I actually opened the same thread here few weeks ago but it got deleted.....so if anybody is hurt...
There has always been talks of moving the capital from Tehran to somewhere else (mostly Isfahan where it used to be).....Tehran will remain the center no matter what you do.
I have a question guys: what are the current gun laws in Iran and are there any public shooting ranges.
