Persian, read the history. Have you ever heard of Khanates of Azerbaijan? They were independent Khanates in what is now Azerbaijan prior to Russian invasion. Khanates of Azerbaijan at the same time also fought Qajars.
Seljuqs
Atabegs of Azerbaijan
Ak-Koyunlu
Kara-Koyunlu
Safavids
How were Azerbaijan or Azerbaijanis a part of Iran? Azeri dynasties ruled Iran from 10-11th century untill 16-17th century. Unfortunately, Qajars was Persianized. And as result, Azerbaijani region formed independent Khanates and fought Qajars. Northern Khanates were annexed by Russia and southern ones by Qajar.
Also tell us about why Iran supports Armenia, still in 2010. Elchibey (may God rest his soul) was president only during 1 year.
That may be the case with Azeri Turks outside of their own regions, but talking about Southern Azerbaijan, there is an strong nationalism. And Persians will never be able to supress that.
Firstly, I knew you would address me as a 'Persian' (not that I am concerned) because an Azeri is someone in your mind who agrees with your ethnic chauvinist views or loathes the other ethnicities of Iran. This is why Khomeini, Khamenei and Ahmadinejad are all non-Azeris to you because they could care less about linguistics or provincialism. I like to de-ethnicise myself further so here are some other ethnicities you could use instead next time for it gets rather redundant and boring each time to be Persian: Lur, Baloch, Kurd, Arab, Ajam, Talysh, Mazandarani and so forth.
Continuing...
Russian (because your father is Russian), I would advise you to read the history yourself and without the added ethnic bias. Azerbaijan and the remainder of Iran have existed as a unified state for much of their history and have been united by a series of clans and ruling families. Also, the Qajjars, next to the Pahlavis, amongst the worst ruling dynasties of older Iran, in the duration of Qajjar rule the boundaries and revolts shrunk the domain to less than half their size (roughly modern-day Iran). Regardless, being an element of history, it concerns me the least what is the political status of the Azerbaijani republic, as that is something for it's own people to decide.
First, tell us why Azerbaijan supports Israel? When confronting Armenia, a 'Muslim' card is used and when confronting Israel (or receiving aid from them), Azerbaijan always plays the 'we're a secular country card.' I'll make no mention of the alleged listening posts on the borders. Also, Iran's ties to Armenia are necessitated by Azerbaijan republic's own stances on Iran. Tell us why you haven't answered what was the point of your post with the fallacious map, when as you say, no such claims exist?
Thirdly, how many times have you been to Iranian Azerbaijan to make such claims? Iranians are generally very nationalistic and amongst them Iranian Azeris are probably more nationalistic about Iran. A large proportion of front line deaths were those of Azeris during the Iraqi Imposed war, despite Saddam's main military thrust being situation in lands much further south. The predominant ideology in Iran though is an Islamic one. (note: I know you haven't visited even once, but stated it just to strengthen my point.)
Lastly, what is your failing is the ultra-valuation on ethnicity. If reflects your inability to think out of a pseudo-tribal sense. You remind me of a similar chauvinistic ethnic-Kurd and anti-Turk member Kermanshahi-- except in your case Turkey is replaced by Iran ('fars-estan' in your terminology) and Kurds by Azeris, otherwise the logic is the same fault-ridden one. Indeed, it is better if you argue with him because likewise his answer is always you're lying and so forth despite being shown otherwise and would then continue with ethnic insults. Persians can be as horrid, ****** and demented as Azeris who in turn can be as horrid, ****** and demented as any other people for all three traits recognizes no race. Anyhow, you're answer is going to be, ' you lier' and 'ethnicity is everything' so I'll end the post here sensing it's complete useless.
