[amirhossein818]

The Azerbaijanis[29][30][31][32] are a Turkic people living mainly in northwestern Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan. Traditionally living in Georgia and Dagestan. Are the Indigenous small-numbered people of the Republic of Dagestan (Russia)[33]. Commonly referred to as Azeris (آذری - Azərilər) or Azerbaijani Turks[34][35] (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan türkləri), they also live in a wider area from the Caucasus to the Iranian plateau.

we are not separatist , but we are TURKIC PEOPLE, NOT persian, we has never been persian , SATTAR KHAN never say he is persian , he say I am Iranian TURK, and Iranian has to accept that Iran has TURK ,KURD, ARAB, BALUCH , not just Persian fars . we are Turkic and we know our fathers fathers from Turkoman tribes in Azerbaycan, we dont want separate , we waant Unite North Azerbaycan with Iran and then iran is 80% Azerbaycani TURKISH LANGUAGE , and the majorety language has to be the only langauge

Safavid empires Capital was moved to Isfahan that was and is 100% Persian by Shah Abbas the great, since Azaris new themselves to be Iranians that is why they (Safavids) spoke fluent Persian. That map you are showing is the Iranian map my friend on the time of Safavid Empire. Anybody can Google and research what I have explained simple facts ; )

Body you need to study a bit more before making videos! Ardabil is the name of an Iranians City that is in Iran, Tabriz is where I was born myself... the only reason there is a place called Azerbaijan today on the north of Iran outside of borders of Iran is because the Russian took it from Iran and once soviet union was gone they became and independent country. Azaris are of Iranian origin, unless you are a separatist that is different story. Safavid Empire is a Shia Iranian empire
