Drawing on discredited European racist views, the dominant discourse in Iran equates language with race and tries to fabricate Indo-European language ties for non-Farsi speaking peoples such as the Azeri-Turks in an attempt to show that over a thousand years ago they spoke an Indo-European language and are therefore Aryan.
As such, they should cleanse themselves of their inferior linguistic/ethnic/cultural identity and become one with ‘the superior Aryan race’ by speaking the language of this race: Farsi.
This kind of racist reconstruction of prehistoric (imaginary) languages essentializes race-based and language-based identities and prioritizes them based on a fabricated history of origins, arrivals, etc., giving rise to the absurd idea about who has come earlier than whom, who has come first, who has come second, who has come last, whose language was spoken earlier than the others; and who, as a result, should have mastery over others.
These kinds of non-sensical absurdities serve to create unnecessary competitions among various ethnic/national groups which lead to animosity, mistrust and lack of cooperation among them, while leaving them vulnerable to be colonized and assimilated by the dominant racist order.
The Iranian racist order openly proscribes non-Farsi languages in the country, banning them from becoming languages of education, instruction, learning, correspondence, and governance. By banning non-Farsi languages, the dominant group violates minoritized communities’ identities; subjugates their minds, and brutalizes their spirits. It supplants the indigenous names of geographical landmarks, cities, towns, villages, and streets;
appropriates ancient heroes, historical figures, literary figures, scientists, movie stars, popular singers, dancers, and artists belonging to the marginalized communities. It prevents non-Farsi speaking communities from naming their children as they wish, using their own indigenous languages, cultures, names, words, signs, and symbols, forcing them instead to use names and symbols approved by the dominant discourse and praxis.
I have read similar staff to what AntiGravityLazer has written.
Azari people were not Turkish speaking until the Saljugh dynasty when the majority of Iranians refused to speak the language of the invading Turks, except Azaris who for whatever reason adopted their language.
Zartosht was born in West Azarbaijan near Marand. He was pure Persian.
Anyway elsyouth, what do you hope to get out of posting this clip? Don't be a traitor because a few ignorant fools called you "Torkeh Khar"
Are you talking about blood or genetic? Are you talking about DNA ?!! That the Azerbaijani-Turks are not genetically related to the Anatolian Turks but are (genetically) almost the same as the Aryan Persians! I am anxiously waiting to see when the results of these “path-breaking experiments” are going to be published and in what esteemed scientific journal!
I for one, am very interested in seeing the kind of research methodology, the size of research population, and the kind of terminologies and their definitions (e.g., race, racism, etc) that are used by this brilliant scientist.
All these hyperbolic racist discourses to deny one basic human right to over 20 million Turks in Iran: Education in their own natural language.
DNA tests have proven that all the People of Iran from its north till its south are relatives and we all have a Common Mother who lived in CENTRAL IRAN 1000s of years ago.
Azeries are a mix of Ancient Azeries(Persians)-Kurdish-Armenian-Iranic Albanians and a little Mongolian-Arabic genes too.
The people of Turkey are Anatolian(Indo-European)-Mediteranian-Greek-Tajik(Persian)-Arab-Mngolian.
The word Azerbaijan is in fact Azar Abadegan which is Persian.
Long live United Azerbaijan!
Long live Azerbaijani culture,music,danse,cuisine!!!
Long live Azerbaijani turks!!!
