    The numbers of Azerbaijanis in this video is false. There are definitely more than 15 million Azeris in Iran

    I'm a little disappointed that they didn't actually put Armenians on the map, and that they completely ignored Assyrians, even though there are more Assyrians than Mandeans in Iran...

    Nice video though

    The Zoroastrians of Yazd, Kerman & Tehran deserve a mention I think too.

    They are for all intents and purposes a distinct ethnic group (and the Iranian constitution treats them as such), despite speaking Persian predominantly; they are fairly insular, inter-marry amongst their own, and historically have faced the most persecution of any ethnic group in Iran.

    Besides, why would Qashqais, who speak a dialect of Azerbaijani Turkish, be considered a separate ethnic group (they were relocated from Azerbaijan to Fars province in 17th century) is beyond me. Are Kurds in Khorasan a separate group, just because they had been relocated there some centuries ago? Its nothing more than just a tribal name, Kurds have plenty of them too, to this day.
