Beautiful pictures of Iran

Thanks for the picture but you should think before posting such opinions on things like this. I highly doubt that you are Muslim.

He's atheist, not that there is anything wrong with that.

That is true.. we are no one here to judge anyone.. but Nima should try to control his potty mouth... (other than that he is a nice guy)... Being an athiest doesn't mean you have to diss certain religions (in this case Islam) to make your point...

@ azeridude

The first Persian empire was the Achaemenid dynasty from 2500 years ago
here's a map
check out Armenia and where it is located

one more

Now the next Persian empire, the Parthian empire
Again check where Armenia is

Now lets look @ the Byzantine Empire
Check where Armenia is, still no sign of the invading monguls, aka Turks.

NOW WE GET TO THE JUICY STUFF
here's an account from Armenian and Persian histories
"Northeastern Barbarians

While Armenian seigneurs were thus engaged in factional struggles, a dreadful storm-cloud darkened the skies of the Orient. Barbarian peoples, intrepid and cruel, emerging from the plains of the Oxus River, had invaded Khorassan and the north of the Iranian plateau, driving before them the Persians, the Kurds and the Arabs. Nothing, it seemed, could resist these daring horsemen and skilled archers. Armenian historians called these nomads Scythians or Tartars, as being distant descendants of those hordes who, fifteen centuries earlier, had overrun Asia, likewise issuing from the boundless plains beyond the Caucasus, the Caspian Sea and the Bactrian mountains. "

"Emergence of the Turks

Simultaneously, the Seljuk Turks invaded Anterior Asia, spreading like a torrent overflowing its bed. The Turks had developed at the foot of the Altai Mountains, in those steppes where Turkomans still live today, where the Jaghatai, the primitive language of the Tartars is spoken. These people, sadistic and merciless, now converted to Mohammedanism, insatiable in their appetite for pillage, craved possession of the rich lands of both the Khalifas and the Greek Emperors. "The cruelties of the Arabs," says Jacques de Morgan, "were nothing compared to the horrors the Turks were to mankind." They advanced westward through mountainous areas where rich pastures for their flocks existed. The tribal masses followed the cavalrymen, carrying their household property, their wives and children, the aged and the loot from devastated countries. The onward wave was to halt only before the gates of Constantinople, where the forces of the Empire checked it for a considerable time. "

and it goes on with accounts of what happened later on, but that's not impt

So now we have established that the real turks weren't native to the land. Armenia and parts of Iran were invaded.

btw this is Armenia during the Abbasid Caliphate

I'm too lazy to look for maps for the next millennium but you already know all this, I just wanted to show these guys that real turks were a nomadic group that invaded North Western Persia and Armenia around the 10th century. You my Azerbaijani friend aren't a real turk, you're an Azeri. And the land called Azerbaijan today used to be called Armenia.

this video has more maps for those interested

How were Azerbaijan called "Armenia"? Maybe you need to test your geographic knowledge if you are refering to those maps your showing.

And secondly, those maps are made-up by Armenians.

And if you want Azerbaijan. From Black Sea to the Caspian Sea.

Hypocrites.

Anyway, maybe we should stop to discuss these in Iran's picture thread?

my maps were made up and this aint?

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
joke of the century

Okay how about this

Type these in google or ANY ENCYCLOPEDIA YOU CHOOSE
Achamenid dynasty
Parthian empire
The Byzantine Empire
The abbassid caliphate etc...





you're acting like I'm pulling names out of my bottom! These are some of the worlds most significant empires so there are millions of maps from them, go and look at them.

EVERY HISTORIAN, WESTERN OR EASTERN WILL TELL YOU THAT TURKS WERE NOMADIC INVADERS AND THAT ARMENIANS WERE THE ORIGINAL INHABITANTS OF THE LAND CALLED AZERBAIJAN TODAY.

Do you know how pathetic you look in front of the eyes of Iranian azeris when you defend the Turks? Are you that desperate?
Your country is a giant American military base and a province of Turkey. You have no independence and you were under the soviet brain washing machine for almost 80 years! Good luck capturing "south Azerbaijan" like this lmao
no wonder they call you "azeri farangi"

Well it seems you lack knowledge about this Shrine. Research a bit and you'll know why. It is not some ordinary mosque.

Why the heck are you fighting on this stupid topic guys ?

Iranian empire is gone way too long ago and now Its Islamic Republic of Iran which is Friends with Turkey and Azerbijan.

Some people just cannot get out of their "miserable past" and blame others for what happened to them.

" Only those deserve the freedom who are prepared to Defend it !! "

obviously you don't know what we're fighting about, it's neither about the "Iranian empire" nor it's about friendship w/ Turkey and Azerbaijan.
We're fighting over Armenia!

Eram botanical gardens

Gardens have a special place in Persian culture. The word Paradise comes from the word "paradisia" which means garden in old Persian.
