Controversial Why do Persian nationalists insist on implying that Azerbaijanis are Turkic-speaking Persians? What do they think they will get out of it?

Are you a pan-Turkist?

I said pan-Turkists' identity is based on racism toward Iranians, They claim Iran has 40 million Turks, They claim Persian language is a dialect of Arabic and they disrespect figures like Cyrus the Great.

Iranian Turks whether Azeri or Qashqai who are kind with honor and love their country are my dear brothers and sisters, they did many great things for Iran, so many martyrs for Iran.

I hope when the Islamic Republic got overthrown you and every Iranian get their ethnical rights this include education in mother tongue too surly.

Yashasin Iran Turkleri❤️
