Show its place. How funny. We can not only completely block your oil transfer, but also block your access to Afghanistan and Central-Asia.
Your country can't do a thing about that.
Gypsies. Nice, never heard that one before. But the only people who are living like gypsies are Turks, whether Azerbaijanis or Turks from Anatolia, who are famous in Europe for having bad manners. Your backward brothers are still coming to this gypsy land to enjoy health care, buy goods, etc...
We do not cluster with Arabs, Turks or Mongols. Every genetic test shows that. Unlike Turks in Anatolia, who are mixture of Greek, Armenian, Kurdish and Turkic nomads, and Azerbaijanis in Azerbaijan who are a mixture of Iranian, Caucasian and small element of Turkish nomads. Azerbaijanis in Iran...

Nizami was as Persian as you get. There was a Persian/Iranian population in Ganja at that time. Turks are famous for falsicating history, due to their own lack of history. Backward Azerbaijani Turks are no different.
Yes, but this Arab religion hasn't displaced Iranian cultural elements, unlike with the Turks. You seem to forget that you Turks have used the same alphabet, which was only removed recently due to Ataturk or communist occupation.
Yes, they do have a 3000 year old history of architecture. Look...
