Below are some citations to scholarly sources that the fake country called "Azerbaijan" is deleting from Wikipedia with Israeli help:
In the “Encyclopaedia of Islam,” Russian Historian Vladimir Minorsky (1877-1966) states that the territory of Azerbaijan was named after the Persia general Atropates, who was a nobleman in Persia that served Darius III, King of Persia, from 336 B.C. to 330 B.C. and the name “Azerbaijan” translates to “protected by fire.”
Ahmad Kasravi, an Iranian Azeri scholar born in the city of Tabriz, is known for his extensive research work on the ancient Azari language and origin of the Azerbaijani people. Kasravi showed that the ancient Azari language was an offshoot of Pahlavi language (that is, a Persian, and not a Turkic, language). Due to this discovery, he was granted membership of the London Royal Asiatic Society and American Academy. (See A. Kasravi, Azari Yaa Zabaan e Baastaan e Azarbaigan (Azari Or The Ancient Language Of Azarbaigan) (preview by Ehsaan Yaar Shaater, republished by IranBooks, Inc. 1993.) [Note: What the Turks did was to steal the name of Persian-Azaris and to name a fabricated country after what was simply a province of Persia - Armenia was a kingdom within the Persian empire.]
In Volume 3, of The Colliers Encyclopedia, Professor Tadeusz Swietochowski, an Honorary Doctor of Baku State University and Member of Central Eurasian Studies Society, with an academic specialization in the history of Azerbaijan states: “From the time of ancient Media and the Persian Empire (9th to 4th centuries B.C.), Azerbaijan usually shared the history of what is now Iran (Persia).”
Ancient written accounts, such as one written by Arab historian Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn al-Husayn al-Masudi (896–956), attest to the native Iranian population of Azerbaijan; wherein he states:
“The Persians are a people whose borders are the Mahat Mountains and Azerbaijan up to Armenia and Aran....”
(See Al Mas'udi, Kitab al-Tanbih wa-l-Ishraf, De Goeje, M.J. (ed.), Leiden, Brill, 1894, Pp. 77–8.) (Note: Azerbaijan is recognized as a province of Iran, but Armenia was recognized as a constituent Kingdom within the Persian empire. In other words, BOTH the Iranians and Armenians had their lands stolen by the Turks and Russians.)
