what about Talysh people? i just saw on a map that they are closely located to Azeri and Gilaki people. sad to hear that by the way. if push comes to shove, do you think that Iranian Azeris in general will side with Iran in a case of Iran-Azerbaijan conflict?
suddenly i realize that almost all the Iranians i know on this site are mostly the minorities lol. are there even Persian posters here?
All South Caspian people (Mazandarani, Gilak, and talysh) are very close to each other. they can even be called one ethnicity from genetical point, but their difference is their languages. Part of Talysh people are living in North Azerbaijan, part of them live in Gilan in Iran and there are a few talysh vilages in South Azerbaijan as well. South Caspian are genetically mostly close to caucasians, like Azerbaijanis and Georgians. But, they have adapted Iranian languages by time. Their culture and cuisine is unique, and very lovely. Many of them also have greenish eyes which is very rare in the rest of the world.
About Azerbaijanis, your question is very hard to be answered. consider that about half of Tehran and its near by area are Azerbaijanis who consist between 1/3-1/2 of whole south Azerbaijanis population as well. their opinions and economical , .. situation is very different from Azeris who live in Tabriz, Urmia, ...
We have some ultra religious people(about 5%) who may even side with mullahs, there is also a Bourgeoisie cast among Azerbaijanis who live in Tehran and have the most economical role and power in Iran, and I guess they would sit calm to see what will happen and then they will decide to side with which side. There is also a very strong pan-turkists cast who are very strong in youth Azeris who live outside of Tehran. They would definitely side with North Azerbaijan. The rest of Azeris would not side with mullahs at all, but they may not side with north Azerbaijan either. If sometimes North Azerbaijan decides to go with a direct dogfight with mullahs, they need to talk with Azeri population in Tehran and attract their opinions, since if Azeris in Tehran decide to fully side with Baku, mullahs would not be able to do anything against North Azerbaijan.
Nope, I guess most of posters are persians. As far as I remember:
Abii, SinaG, Soheil, Mohsen, s00r3na, resurgentiran, uhuhu, twilight, Islam Shall be the winner, and serpentine are persians.
haman, and Surenas, two banned trolls, were kurds.
me, and Ostad are Azerbaijani, and Ghara ghan is Turkmen
Gilamard is the only South Caspian guy.
Well, I'm not sure about that, I just know that many people from Gilan call themselves "Gilemard"
Gilamard literally means "Gilak man", and it was referred to farmers in Gilan.
