Re: Are there Persians in Iran?

persians are aryan like armenians and kurds. turks are from central asian and mongolian tribes

By central asian you mean mongols. Mongols are not turks. Mongols are mongols. Azeris are Turks. Do you agree that those people in the slideshow are Azeris?

Armenoid does not mean Armenian. Armenoid is a race.

Azeris are an Armenoid race. Persians are related to Tajiks and Pashtoons. That you should at least see.

You can never identify azeris with one single race, they are the mixture of different races mainly coming from Mongolia to our region.

No it was the greeks that called Iran persia. Persepolis, Persia city. The Iranians have always said iran. 1925!!! was the year Reza Shah asked the WEST to change it to Iran on their maps.

Yeah, but in different ancient texts or in persian literature you can see words like “parsiguy, parsian, pars” so we can understand that Iran was called by those names by Iranians themselves(besides Iran) and some great poets of the time.

I really don't see very major differences beetween the population samples. There are differences betwee individuals themselves however. And where the hell do you get that Ahmadinejad or the Ayatollah are "turks"?

You misunderstand the question. Persians are an ethnic group. You can call yourself anything you want, but it does not change the ethnicity. You might as well call yourself German but you will not be a German. If you look like a Persian then you are a Persian. If not then you are not a Persian. It is that simple.

Here are the different ethnic groups in Iran:

Re: Are there Persians in Iran?

haha you're not getting it. Persias name was changed to Iran officially in 1935. In 1955 it was officialy changed again so taht Persia and Iran can me used interchangebly. So it doesnt matter ur ethinicity, if u are a citizen of Iran/Persia, no matter what ur ethnicity u are an Iranian and a Persian.
