He was obviously a persian, but the ethnicity is not really important here.

He used persian not because he did not know Turkish but because it was the language used most at that time which could be as you said political or logical but this does not change what he was. I say he was a Turk not because he lived in Turkey but he came from Afghanistan where lots of Afghans, Persians and Turks live until now.

I thought the word Turkmen was of Persian origin?  COming from the Persian, "Turk-manand"  Meaning of Turkish variety.  The turks took this word and called themselves "Turkman"  The same way they took "Muslimeen" and made it "Musulman"

Aygucu Tonyukuk:

Balkh before Mongol invasion was completely a Persian language speaking city. Did you use a Time Tunnel to have connection with Rumi?

He is a Turk from Belh but I think he is not a good Turk because he wrote most of his poems in Persian, rather than Turkish.

I agree.

And Zagros, Oghuz arent Turkmen, it is consisted of 24 (9 main) of Muslim, nonMuslim tribes. But during the Islamic expansion when Arabs reached Central Asia and met with Turks there, some western Turks (mainly Oguz) became Muslims. Then Muslim Turkic states and nonMuslim ones became rivals, such as Karakhanid State and Oguz Yabgu, Seljuk and Oguzz Yabgu etc. Western Turks (mostly Oguz) generally became Muslims, and to differ the Muslim Turks from the others, they were called "Turkiman"s, Turk+iman, Turk with religious belief. So mostly Oguz becamr Turkiman (because of Turkish grammer rules, Turkmen). So simply Turkmen are Muslim Oguz.

Let him rest in his grave knowing people love him for what he wrote, not what ethnicity he was.

Not really... Turkmens are Turkic not Turk and they call themselves Turkmen and they speak Turkmen!! The difference between Kurds and Iranians is same with difference between Turks and Turkmens!!!

Not really. Kurds are Iranic people, and Turkmens are Turkic people, but in fact, the name "Turk" was used by Europeans to classify us. The Turkish origin of Anatolian Turks is Turkmen. So in fact, we are Turkmens, and all Turkic people are Turks, like all Iranic people are Iranians, but not Persians.

His father was Iranian, i don't know his mother... When he was born, there was Turkic effect in Khorasan. His blood is i think half-Iranic half-Turkic, but he lived with Turkic people and he died in Turkey. And he wrote in Persian, because in that time Turkic people wrote Persian in literature. So he wrote in Persian and he had Iranian blood but he wasn't totally Persian...

Prince of persia

Infact He lived most of his life in anatolia.He made all work in anatolia. I dont know he is turk or persian but even he is persian, He had not much common things with persian. He lived in Turkish culture. and He had common things with turks.So If you look mevlana You will saw Turkish Culture. But If you look where he borned of whom he borned , This is another bussines.
