If I had use just Iran or Persian, then likes of you would call me sectarian even though I am not one, I used Turk beacause I thought maybe I could convice someone like you that my post wasn't about nationality or sectarianism but I see that my effort was wasted on likes of you...
And no, Azerbaijan wasn't part of Iran. Azerbaijan generally ruled by the same people that ruled Iran and it is a different geographic area for thousands of years. I guess what I heard in Cyprus from both Persians and Turks of Iran about Turks of Iran being accused of Pan-Turksm for their every act is true... What a shame.
What you need to understand is that Iran does not equal Persian. I am not Persian, neither is most Iranian members on this forum. I myself am a race called Gilaki, however I do not go around calling myself Iranian Gilaki all the time. Just as Soheil doesn't call himself Iranian Turk, just Iranian... People in Iran generally don't have this ethnic driven mentality.
I don't accuse Iranian Azeris of anything, in fact if it was up to me I would make Azeri and Kurdish national languages of Iran alongside Persian. However do not twist my words, I didn't accuse Iranians here I accused you... A citizen of Turkey who has a history of Pan-Turkism on this forum...
Anyway no need to derail the thread any more, just know that the time of us Iranians tolerating all this BS from you guys is over...
