You should fear Kurds and Turks than.

 

[BeyondHeretic]

You should fear Kurds and Turks than.

Well , I don't claim to be an exceptionally fearless person , but You should ask your fellow kurds and turks why they fear the minority Persian

No prob. I would ask them.

 

[BeyondHeretic]

No prob. I would ask them.

Regarding your mention of the 'Kushanis', the Kushans were not Iranian at all. They belonged to a blonde and red-haired people, great horsemen, who lived far out in the desert from Ferghana

the Kushans were close to Takharies and Khotanies and even hepthalites , all of them related to Scyhians which were blonde and red-haired people and great horsemen even the hepthalites.

Not all of them were blue eyed, blond, etc. That's probably a small minority. Probably the ones mixed with Tocharian, etc.

Typical Kushan.

i'm not an expert but if the kushans belonged to the hindu-kush mountain region , I think they were simply indo-scythians

They're not.

Kushan invaded Scythians lands and made them a puppet leaving them in Gujarat, India.

I thought it was only the scythians (saka) who raided neighboring territory?

These guys look like Parthians.

 

[BeyondHeretic]

And here's the Scythian horseman , you can see the moustache is a common factor :

Well some say Parthians were koshanis , like ferdowsi the Persian poet

They did, then another tribe, Yuezhi, who would become the Kushans took Scythian lands. And left them in Gujarat.

Indo Scythians before Kushan invasion

As you can see the Kushans took much of their land and left them in Gujarat, India.
