      Honestly hate this day and age in which we try to bastrdize everything. Recently I heard that shargzahde guy talk about how Iranians were a Hellenified group of people because they were conquered by Alexander the Great once. Like, no, man, no. Is there any studies on the exact percentages of the origin of the cultural inventory of ANY people? Then you don’t have the right to call anyone a bstard.

      In Seljuks/Ottomans/Safavid’s case, yes, they learned Persian arts and sciences but these were practical and professional aspects of their life. They still fought like, spoke like, hunted like, acted like their ancestors. The fact that I learned Newton’s theory of gravity in high school doesn’t make me an Englishified person, that is stupid.

      I fail to understand the beef many Azeris and Persians have with one another over this goofy cultural supremacy heritage argument

      Azeris: do you realize there are other Turkic peoples who see you as foreigners unrelated to themselves? There was an incident a few years ago in Turkic Kazakhstan where some sort of Armenian criminal gang was involved with a brawl that resulted in a dead Kazakh person, and the Turkic Kazakh reaction (they couldn’t differentiate Azeris and Armenians) proves my point

      >…Despite attempts by authorities to calm the situation, anti-Armenian unrest has spread to other cities across the country. **In a bizarre turn of events, a mob attacked a coffee shop named Cafe Baku in the northeastern city of Semey, apparently confusing Armenia with Azerbaijan.**

      Instead of the male genitals measuring contest over Persian vs Azeri supremacy, it would be way more productive to embrace the shared lineage, and even demand proud Persians help for Azeri issues.

      Like the drama with Kurdish migrants/demographics displacement and alleged ethnic cleansing of „fellow Persianate turks“ in south Azerbaijan.

      Maybe I’m crazy but I think that Persians would be way more likely to listen to and support „proud Persianate Turks“ asking for help from Persian brothers, than „Persian hating traitors“ who see the state as illegitimate.

      I will never understand the strong emphasis on the concept of „Persianate“, why is there so much emphasis on the Turkic peoples being Persianate, but not on Europeans being „Greco-Romanate“? Nor the Japanese or Koreans being „Sinicized“? It should be the case that, in the same way it is taken for granted that the latter groups adopted many things from the administration and tradition of their respective sources, the same is true for the Turkic peoples, but for some reason, it always has to be mentioned.
