I see that my response to a banned troll triggered you even though I made it clear that my post was not to offend Turkish members but a mere response to an individual who tried to insult my country.
I have never tried to hide my non Turkic maternal side which is Jalali Kurd, if maternal-male line is to be considered. But in Iran, by law ethnicity and nationality is counted from paternal lineage which is Azeri so I am an azeri man. Having gorji grannies doesn't change the male ethnicity which stayed azeri by Law. My children will be Azeri Turks as well regardless of their mothers race.
I have no mazandarani, persian, talysh etc in me. I have never said it, stop spreading lies.
Please provide proof that I have said that Seljuks or Timurids were Iranian empires ? They were both Turkic but not Turkish. Turkish is what lives in Anatolia or current Turkish country. They are by no means equivalent to CA Seljuks.
Safavid were Kurdish by male line but culturally azeri kizilbas. They come from Piroz Shah Zarrin kolah lineage who was a Kurd and migrated to Ardabil. Not that it matters but thats where their lineage comes from.

I never claimed Timurid was Iranian empire. I said Timurid empires official language, culture and Lingua Franca was Persian which is a fact.

Yes Timurids defeated Turkish and conquered them. Timur died 3 years later otherwise he would have probably expanded his own empires adapted persian culture into Turkey. His ancestors did same in their conquered Indic sub continent where they took Persian as official language and spread it among billion people. That was the level of Timurid love of Iranian culture.

Turkish in the last millennium have been defeated many times by multiple Iraniian ethnicities like Azeris (Afshar, Qajar, Safavid), Kurds (Safavid), Lurs (Zand) even Afghan Pashtuns (Hotaks). Please deny that and I will return the favor with literary proof. This internet myth of "Turkish ruled Iran" is created by few illiterate trolls on internet. Generally Turkish people are very nice and I respect their nation which has a rich martial history but I have no love for few stupid trolls on internet spreading lies to undermine martial history of Turks of Iran like my own tribe which has been brutally nationalist and stubborn kizilbas.
you do realize that major thick part of DNA of an average Turkish citizen is native or regional not Turkic from CA. They cluster very close with ethnic groups around them geographically and not with CA Turkics.

Would you deny that ?
If the thickest portion of their DNA is native and native land was conquered then it means that their ancestors were conquered. Major portion of my Turkic genes is median Iranian. Our Median ancestors got invaded by Persians as well. I don't see it as a problem since its all historical facts.
Current language means nothing. Timur was neither Uzbek nor Azeri citizen. He represented his Timurid empire whose lingua franca and culture was Persian. Timurids and their later ward derivatives continued their Persian traditions. Such is the power of Iranian culture that Invader gets invaded himself by local culture.
Being proud Turk has nothing to do with being proud Turkish. I am an Azeri Turk, I love my Turkic ancestors who entered then Iran (Present day republic Azerbaijan) in 11th century. We are Turks of Iran who belong to Iran and we will fight for it as we always have. Supreme leader of Iran Ayatollah Khamenei is also a Bayat Azeri Turk. In Iran, we don't discriminate as we are all Iranians first. Cultural persianization is just a glue that keeps us togather. It has less to do with Persian ethnicity. Thats the reason that no matter who ruled Iran, they always use Persianization as a uniting factor that works very well.
