Era
Please at least not you, I explained cultures, genetics, ethnicities many times and you read them too. that failed logic is like saying today's Ukrainians are Scytians, or today's Egyptians are, well, Ancient Egyptians.
Don't mistake the nationality with ethnicity, they're of course Iranians, nobody questioning their situation in Iran, but they're ethnically Turkic, simple as that, it will not make them lesser Iranian.
I don't have any problems if they are Turks,the same way I don't have problems with Arabs and other ethnic groups of Iran.Iran is a diverse and multicultural country,just like Russia,United States,India or China.
But you know better how some extremist Turk members are trying to imply that they are not Iranians.If by ethnic,you mean language,yes of course they are Turks,no doubts.But I'm saying the only difference between them and rest of Iranian society is language.I mean,except the language,they have not much in common with Turks of Anatolia and even republic of Azerbaijan (because it is separated from Iran about 200 years ago and many things have changed in there).Do you agree with me on this?
Of course its traditional clothes. These are one of things which shows unique tradition and culture, are you trying to convince me that Azeri Turks and your Bakhtiari or Kurdos are same?
Let me put it this way,for example,black society or Mexicans or natives in Unites States have their unique culture,accent and some traditions,What does that show?They are not Americans?They don't belong to American society?They are all called Americans.
The one thing that all Iranians are proud of it,is that,they all have lived together peacefully for thousands of years.Iran=Azerbaijan=Persian=Kurds=Baloochs=Turkmen=Arabs=...
They are all part of the same society.They are the same,Azerbaijan is head of Iran,Persian areas are heart of Iran,Arabs and Kurds are hands and legs.They are like parts of human body,without one,it can't work properly and all together,they are defined as a healthy body.
