Neo Iranians: The Case of Azeri Turks

Re: Neo Iranians: The Case of Azeri Turks

Are you claiming Parthians were greek? Never heard of this claim before. You should understand Parthians or Scythians or Persians have nothing to do with greeks. Greeks are a meditarranean people in profile. Persians and Afghans such Nuristanis are nordic in profile. They are not the same people. Scythians have nothing to do with greeks except they might have adopted some cultural forms from greeks.

No I'm not saying the partian were greeks, but I'm saying those statues are not partians but rather greeks from probably Seleucid empire or one of the Indo hellenic kingdoms.

Greek influence in Bactria is more related to Parthians than to Greek presensce in Afghanistan. And Indians have nothing to do with this at all.

Yes off course, it has nothing to do with the fact with the fat that Alexander conquered it, it was then ruled by the Seleucid kingdoms and later by an independent Bactrain kingdom. No it was all the parthians.

Nuristanis speak Dardic which is a proto-aryan language. Nothing to do with greeks. How did Sakas became Indo-Greek is a mystery for me????? Sakas invading india do not become greeks or indians. I have heard these theories and they usually have Pakistani origin. Pakistanis as usual trying to get into something always.

No I'm saying when the Saka tribes invade India, they adopted to the cultures there. Those were hellenic and indian. They didn't become indians or greeks they stayed the same Saka. But their culture changed from Nomadic to Indo-Hellenic.

Re: Neo Iranians: The Case of Azeri Turks

why should he be? He's right about one thing, that is about his right to try to build his case here. And we have our right to shoot it down.

Oslonor, how could you not be familiar with Hellenic cultural influence in the region in question? Jeez, do you really have to see everything along genetic lines? Where are you coming from to assume all this Greek influence is news? The much celebrated expanse of the Hellenic world under Alexander the Great and the generals who carved up his empire upon his death is news to no one. I'd be quite shocked if you were an exception, forget Armenians, it would be a tremendous blow to your abilities to convince anyone with a half decent knowledge of history about your case.

And Oslonor, I'm sorry but I don't care if you can find a few dozen Persians who look like Germans, you can't convince me that this is their general character, not even because you can't prove that they look like Germans, but because GERMANS HAVE A LOT OF DINARICS TOO and you are ready to deny the fact that dinaricism occurs all around Eurasia.

Poor you... classifying everything you don't want to be associated with as J-ewish, and telling us that we probably aren't Armenians... For you, anyone who agrees with you is an Armenian , and anyone who disagrees is an Azeri or xxx.

I'm curious, is your total audience 10 people? 100? people?

hmmm, didn't know Catherine Bell was Persian.

I didn't know who Catherine Bell was so I looked her up on the internet. It appears that she half Iranian (mother's side) and half English (father's side). Anyway, it turns out that she is not the ideal example for an Iranian women and other than her big boobs and cute face, she's nothing spacial. In my opinion, you are being way too tolerant of the pure and unadulterated BS being spread by this obsessed Assloaner character. Everything he/she posts on the web regarding Persians and Azeris is either a complete lie or a half truth. The only question is - who/what is this character Assloaner and what is his/her true intentions. Some say he/she is part of some organized anti-Iranian agenda on the web. Personally, I don't think that is the case because the information he/she publishes is mostly pure nonsense and the reactions he/she expresses when challenged is very childish - for instance, the reaction we saw from him/her concerning the hooked nosed Parthians depicted on the ancient coins. So, I think what we are dealing with here is a deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeply troubled individual with a veeeeeeeeeeery serious obsession. Believe me, I can tell this kind from a mile away because I have had the unpleasant experience of dealing with several such characters.

It pollutes the forum, spews the same bs over and over, plus throws mud at anyone who remotely doesn't agree with it.

This bot is probably a friend of adolph kevorkian, if you are not familiar with this psycho, be glad.
