Not only a retarded comparision, in what way is there such a close similarity between Azerbaijani Turks and Iranians based on that? And while you talk about the supposed absence of "Mongoloid" features among Azerbaijani Turks, the number 10 in that photo has prominent "Mongoloid" features (http://i.imgur.com/m1BzY6a.jpg), just saying. But you also need to remember that Azerbaijan was settled by Mongolic groups too during Ilkhanid era, Oghuz were simply not "Mongoloid". although they surely would have such a influence but nowhere near Kazakhs or Kyrgyz examples, prominent Western Oghuz weren't as such, from Uzun Hasan to Nadir Shah Afshar to Muhammad Khan Qajar.

Khamenei is not a ethnic Turk, his mother is Persian from Yazd, his father is of Seyid origin.

Who told you that Oghuz were Mongoloid? At least the Western Oghuz. Were Uzun Hasan, or Nadir Shah Afshar Mongoloid?

Have you never seen a portrait of Nadir Shah Afshar, from the Oghuz Afshar tribe? Does he look like "Mongoloid" to you?

Seljuqs was a dynastic family, not a group of people or tribes. That Azerbaijan was the main point of Turkic migrations is what I'm saying too, this was a migration of whole tribes, and the reason for why why Azerbaijan came to be really innhabited by Turkic groups. The absence of tribes in current Persian speaking areas of Iran explains why these areas are not Turkic speaking, because they were not settled by them, there was however a concentration of elite in those areas, but contraty, they melted into Persian culture and language. What is there to not understand?

Hazaras were a majority in Afghanistan? Thats a news to me. It supports what I say, because they were a minority among the majority, and melted over time into the host regions culture and language.
