Cultural Genocide in Azerbaijan

Should I think of Turks as my enemies since they are on my "land" then?
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------

Unfortunately for you my friend, but there is no such internationally recognised term as " armenian land in Turkey"

But of course you can have your own opinion about everyone. No doubts.

Because those countries are strong enough to do so. Obviously Azerbaijan was not strong enough to control an Armenian province, so they don't deserve to do so.

Oh my friend, one more thing. Base on your logic, the Ottoman Empire was great country, because they were strong enough to control armenians there

no, its not that they are islamists, its that they are iranian, and know that azerbaijan republic means nothing, its just another territory that was taken by russia from iran. but armenians and iran have had relations for thousands of years, eve before christianity.

Originally posted by Qajar It is Mother Turkey for all turks in anatolia, iran and caucauses.

which turks in iran? the same turks that have stayed loyal to iran and have died for iran against the ottomans, the arabs, the russians, and the british?

Qajar, let me tell you something about armenians and iran.

during the clashes between turks and armenians in the ottoman empire, many many armenians went to iran for safety.  their population, mixed with the population of armenians already in iran (notably isfahan), caused friction between the iranians already living there and the armenians moving.

this caused an anti armenian riot, but unlike what happened in the ottoman empire, the government of iran stopped the anti armenian protests, imprisoned many of the rioters, and made sure that the armenians would be safe for the rest of their stay.

now, why would the iranian government help the armenians then, as well as now? its because iran has always had a good relationship with armenians, and they have helped iran a lot, and so its not surprising that iran supported armenia over azerbaijan republic, which denies that its iranian.

I thought Albanians were from the Balkans? From the Albanian I talked to, he said that they are direct decendants of Illyrians, and they got their name from a tribe in the Balkans, Albanoi.

Isn't that quite a distance for Illyrian tribes? I understand that there could have been a migration, but for them to be considered Albanian? I don't, seems alittle strange to me. 

S&D,

     There are 2 "Albania"s. One is the country in the Balkans that we know of today, and the other was an ancient kingdom in the Caucasus that we now know as Caucasian Albania. Caucasian Albania consisted of present-day Eastern Azerbaijan (the western part of today's Azerbaijan, e.i., Karabakh, was part of the old Armenian kingdoms for many eras of history). Many people don't know about Caucasian Albania, so its easy to get the 2 terms mixed up.

     Azeri propagandists claim that their ancestors are the Caucasian Albanians (in order to justify Karabakh as Azerbaijani land, even though the majority of the population has always been Armenian). This is not accepted by any sober historian. Caucasian Albanians (who were Christian, btw) cannot be Turkic Azeris (who are Muslim) and still claim the same land....you see where they are going with this, don't you?

In Tehran yes of course. But I am talking about South Azerbaijan and it's people. They are azerbaijani turks and they are part of the turkish etnic world.

The greatest shah Ismail I of Sefevids as you know was azerbaijani turk and he was prokclaimed a Shah of Azerbaijan and after that he joined persian territory to Azerbaijan.  So, who was part of whom???????

 

I don't care about armenian-iranian relations now.Iran is a devil country and should be in isolation soon. After this happened, armenia would be blocked from Iran side as well. This is only what we need.

At the same time mister Chexragani is working hard in order to restore justice for azerbaijani turks in South Azerbaijan

It was a war between two turkish empires - Ottomans ruled by sultan Selim and sefevids ruled by shah Islmail

Caucasus - is a cradle of ancient civilisations, created by people inhabited this territory, which preserved rich material and cultural legacy of ancient state Albania. Azerbaijan is a heir of Caucasian Albania and subsequent formations at its territory, and Albanians are the ones of ancestors of Azerbaijan nation. The most ancient Christian church in Caucasus - is Albanian church Kish, established in 1 -2 century A.D by apostle Elysee in Sheki region, and also temples Gandzasar and Amaras in Karabagh are still remained uptoday at places where at present live descendants of gunns, gels, alpnas, legs and udins.

Azerbaijan Republic is a neir of Caucasian Albania and Karabgh is a historical part of ancient Albania and modern Azerbaijan.

Qajar, take a good look at this man. he would laugh in your face if he saw the things you were writing.

he is azeri, and he knows that he is IRANIAN.
