Persian chauvinism? that is Pan Turkic nonsense without any foundations. Let me tell you why. I think the reason Iran under both the Pahlavis and the current region suppressed local languages and identities has 2 primary drivers 1) after world war I Iran attempted to modernize itself in the form of a European country. European countries are modeled based on ethnicity. So Iran a nation that has existed for over 2000 years made a feeble attempt to model itself the same. The leaders of Iran know it has failed in some regions while it succeeded in some. So today Gilakis, Mazandarnis, Lurs, Bakhtiari, etc all identify as Persians. With some other groups, it has yielded some animosity and tension. it failed
The 2nd factor for these policies was that the outsiders namely Russia, Britain and today the USA attempt tp weaken Iran by exploring its minority groups. Iran cannot allow these movements to weaken the central government so stupidly Iran is paranoid and they suppress them
So it is really not chauvinism that has led to these policies, there is more to it as you can see.
The other issue for Northern Azerbaijanis is that the clerical regime is not appealing to them. Azerbaijan was under Soviet rule for 200 years and it is rather secular and not religious.

Persian was the lingua franca of the region for over 1300 years. Northern Azerbaijan is home to great Persian poets such as Nizami Ganjavi, Khaqani, etc reflecting that Persian was the language that was embraced by many groups and it was the language that connected people of the region. Then the adoption of Persian made sense, and it was not enforced and adopted due chauvinism. It was a logical move. But other policies were erroneous. The bigger question is how do you make a transition without breaking the country apart.
As I said I certainly don't support these policies, but I don't think chauvinism is the proper word for the current predicament

What is the purpose of this idiotic, anti-intellectual post? Every ruler from that age killed a lot of people. That is not how you measure a person like SHAH ISMAIL.
The truth is that he is universally considered by historians as a great leader nothing can change or alter that.
You have the intellectual integrity of an infant

There are historical records about his ancestry. You have "Al Kurdi" when you dig some generations back in time. He was a sick person eliminating his own mother. Pretty much like Apricity German Skinheads preferring Poles over Prussians.
İsmail is the symbol of modern Iran, rather than Azerbaijan which is Akkoyunlu revivalist state of Uzun Hasan and founded by Young Turks in 1918. Azerbaijan is more of Nadir Shah and Uzun Hasan. Iran, banana Islamic Republic is from Ismail.

You may think gibberish is covert nonsense talk or something a 2-month-old infant might say, but, in reality, it is a "secret language" used by some either for secrecy or just for kicks. If you want to join the conversation, listen (and read!) up.
This post by Heaven is in gibberish, not English.
