Azari is NOT a race or ethnicity! Azarbadegan (Azerbaijan) means "Land protected by fire" Azar MEANS fire! Azari or Azeri is NOT a race! It is a nationality, like Iranian. Their ethnicity is a mix of Talesh, Kurdish, Armenian, and Persian. They are a caspian sea people, like Gilakis and Mazandaranis. Therefore you cannot say "ethnic Azeri" because there is no ethnicity of Azar (fire).
First of all, Javanshir Akhundov lives in AZERBAIJAN, not Iran! Second of all, Turks in Iran are allowed to give their children Turkish names, and they are allowed to speak Turkish, which the Kurds, Zazas, Talysh, and Lezghin people are not allowed to do in Turkey and Azerbaijan.
Чего ты врёшь. Везде в Тюркских странах свободно говорят на своём родном талышском , курдском, лезгинском и тд. языках. Короче и в Азербайджане и в Турции представители любой (да же армянской) наций говорят на своём языке свободно. 🇦🇿🇹🇷🇦🇿🇹🇷🇦🇿🇹🇷🇦🇿🇹🇷
Iranian or Azerbaijan Turks celebrate Nowruz while they are influenced by the ancient Persian culture, in mean time Turks influenced Persian/Iranian culture. This is normal outcome of thhis process when many races in Iran lived together for 1000 years and Turkish elite ruled Iran for 1000 years and used many features from the Persian elite and culture.
The Historian Azeri “Turks” DNA is closer to Iranian/ Caucasus people. Turkish (Altaic) people is a hybrid culture and people who intermixed with Persians, Greeks, and Mongols. Mongols invaded Persian Khwarezmia in 1219 so that’s about 800 years ago. Persian culture influenced Turks a great deal. Turks were nomads and did not have any administrative skills.
Do you ever wonder why Azaris are the only "turkic" people who celebrate Nowruz? If they are turks, why don't turks in turkey celebrate Nowruz? The Azerbaijani ambassador to Tehran's name is Javanshir Akhundov. You can't tell me he's not Iranian!
