Another insult against a nation.
There is only one poster on this thread who, being unable to reason and argue, and out of frustration, resorts to foul language. This poster deserves a reprimand and ban. Here are his words - I have reported him.

A few Crimean Tatars came to Iran as well. I met one Iranian lady who looked totally Russian, and told me her ancestors were Tatars from Crimea. She did not have any noticeable Asian features, but she said that some Crimean Tatars look more Asian. Most of her family chose to settle in Turkey...
Here we have well-informed and intelligent Turkish member who realizes that even Turkish people are not really Turkic genetically (only 3%) but only linguistically.
Same goes with Azarbaijanis ... who are Turkic speaking but not genetically Turkic ... and this not an opinion, but a...
Why did the Muslim Turkic speaking northern Khanates turn again the Qajar and the Azarbaijani southern Khanates, preferring the Russians instead (I can understand why Armenians and Georgians would) ???

Genetic studies and ancient historical sources have nothing to do with Kasravi.
Kasravi himself was a Turkic speaking Azari, who spoke Persian with an accent, and after he studied history, he realized the deeper connections of his people to the land in which they live. He dreamt of bringing...
Look ASQ, I am open to factual discussion. If you can show evidence that entire tribes (numbers?) moved, please present source (from a non-Turk academic, in English). I have no problem with it, if it is true, and interested to know more. The people who live there are who they are, no one can...
Have you heard of the strawman argument ?
Straw man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It basically means that you change your opponent's view to something else, and then refute that something else, because you have no logical argument to present for what he actually said.
What I said is...
Wrong ! The term "Empire of Eran" (Iran) or "Eran-Shahr" was used since Sassanid times (224 AD to 651 AD - way before Islam) and a book written during the Sassanid era describes it:

It mentions...
Thanks, I really appreciate it, and so should all Iranians !
I do not know of any hatred of Iranians towards Pakistanis. I know one Iranian woman who was married to a Pakistani man, and even though she got divorced, she praised the man as very kind and caring - I am not saying this is the...
Brrrrr.... cold weather ! I thought we might be neighbors ;) (but we are not).
Actually, the few Pakistanis I have met in person made a good impression on me, that is why I chose this ID and came on this forum. One of them is a lady that works in a shop I visit very frequently. She became very...
It was just an impression, and I could be way off the mark, because I have never been to Pakistan. Just that to us Iranians, some of the Balochis (the ones in Chabahar) seem that way. It is not an expert opinion. Don't quote me on that ;)
The same Wiki article I linked mentions this when talking about the people of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and makes clear distinctions between Azarbaijanis (of Iran) and those of Caucasus, the two being different genetically. See below:
The studies quotes I posted are about Azarbaijanis (in...
Try Kashmir first, it has more beautiful scenery ;)
I visited Chabahar (and neighboring areas) recently, in Sistan Baluchistan province, and the people there dressed, looked, and culturally seemed more like Pakistanis (not to mention that their are mostly Sunnis). But I did not see other parts...
As I said before I am only interested in historically verifiable data and scientific facts.
What you or I or others (Pakistanis, Iranians) like to believe is irrelevant.
Scientific studies of genome is not belief or propaganda or wishful thinking.
If the evidence came convincingly the other...
The source is not Wikipedia, and the source is linked and referenced in the Wiki article with all details.
Besides there are two independent studies, both referenced in the Wiki article (References 99-101). Read my post again, I quoted from the second study done by a British team led by an...
