Understandable, however, they integrated into society and became patrons of Persian culture and language. This is why Azerbaijanis exist as an ethnic group. They are known as 'Turks of Iranian history'.Quote:

Oh ok, i see.Quote:

With that said, i dont understand what the issue between azeris persians and kurds are. These ethnic groups have been living together for a very long time and worked together to keep the Iranian nation alive.
I believe most Turkic tribes settled in Khorasan and Iranian azerbaijan.Quote:

Average Kurd-> Probably Views Persians, Lurs positively and Azeris/Turks in general negatively
Iranicist Kurd-> Views Turks negatively, thinks Kurdish lands in Turkey etc should be part of Greater Iran
Nationalist Kurd-> Views Turks negatively, views Persians negatively for occupying their land
I'm not sure about Azeris, I have not really lived around many of them
Edit: I forgot the last type
Normal Person: Appreciates all Ethnic groups in Iran for what they contribute to our culture and history
Same with Azeris, educated normal people view all Iranian groups positively but also Turkey and Azerbaijan.Quote:

And of course Azeris don't like to get insulted for speaking or being "Tork"
@Dr Maul
Iranicist Kurds are basically non existent in reality and exist on the internet only.
The average Kurd, as well as many nationalist Kurds, see Iranians as our cultural cousins.
@Babak
The issue between Kurds and Persians is that we have negative historic memories, especially the Battle of Dimdim and the Republic of Mahabad and ofc today there are many political differences. Other than that culturally we don't seem to have any issues and many of us recognise our similarities in that sense.
Yeah although the unfortunate truth is that ethnic tensions will always exist, at least while 14 year olds have access to the internet lol.. the current situation in government isn't helping eitherQuote:
