Really?Somehow these high ranking people are never to be found in Azerbaijan (region) itself. The people there live in poverty in contrast to Persian areas, thousands move to Persian cities for work, why do you think so? I don't see how this Islamic Republic appreciates Azeri population of Azerbaijan, in what way.
Don't you know that Khamenei is from Azeri origin?
Is Tabriz poor? Tabriz is very big and clean for a city of 1.5 million people (approximately).
Azeris don't come to Persian cities for work, they come to Tehran for work, and that's the case with almost all areas of Iran, they come to Tehran for work because it's the capital my friend.
You see, this is the problem with you Persians.
Russians fought Qajars. Now, Qajars were not Persians, they are an Azeri tribe, Qajar Shah could barely speak Persian (as mentioned in historical source), and neither their army was Persian.
Yet, everything is "Persian" in Iran. Iran was not Persian before 1925. We don't accept this new Persian Iran.
Qajars had Turkic roots, no doubt about that, but they did speak Persian and you could find the handwritings of the Qajar kings in Persian. The famous handwriting of Muzaffar-aldin Shah who issued the decree for the Persian constitutional revolution in 1906 could be found here and it is indeed in Persian:

Qajars were Azeri, they adopted the elements of the Persian culture because there was no distinguish between Persian and Azeri cultures. Both had been mixed and tied by Iranian elements. The word Persian is sometimes misused, because Iran used to be referred to as Persia before 1935, so you shouldn't see it as Persian fascism.
