What is that to do with anything. Pan-Iranism is actually Pan-Turkism. Azeri Turks use the label Pan-Iranism.

Some Turks such as Mr. Ahmadinejad are using the label Pan-Iranism to dominate the region. Nothing strange about that.

This is a stupid thread and this oslonor character is a wack job.

Re: President Ahmadinejad and Pan-Turkism

It is a meaningless thread. And if everything is as accurate as Oslonor describes it , what then ? What is Oslonor going to do about it ?

Are we going to break off relations with Persia and demand the return of our Ambassador ?

Re: President Ahmadinejad and Pan-Turkism

I have provided evidence about being Azeri. Mr. Ahmadinejad picture. Also he speaks fluent Azeri laguage.

There are many Armenians (especially those in Norther Iran) that speak fluent Azeri...are they for pan-Turkism too?

Re: President Ahmadinejad and Pan-Turkism

Ahmadinejad is a native of Semnan, a city which does not have one single ethnic Azeri, and is 100 percent Persian (he grew up in downtown Tehran however). Furthermore he does not speak a single word of Azeri, and is a big promoter of Persian language and literature...in fact he has tried during his presidency to tighten the links between what he calls the "Persian Triangle" (a reference to Iran, Tajikistan and Afghanistan, where Persian is the predominant language).

Re: President Ahmadinejad and Pan-Turkism

Actually, one correction...Ahmadinejad is a native of Garmsar (a 100 percent Persian city with no Azeri inhabitants) in Semnan PROVINCE, and grew up in downtown Tehran. But still, he is about as Persian as they come.

Re: President Ahmadinejad and Pan-Turkism

No doubt he is Persian, but he might know azeri since he has been the mayor of Ardebil(a northern province) for a while.
