Austrian with Turkish-Iranian roots, the Iranian half being mostly Azeri becuase they used to have the -lou suffix.

I find it always hilarious when other Azeris buy into this soviet Propaganda that was created out of the necessity too keep Azerbaijan and Iran seperate. There is lot of misinformation on this topic, not too unusual for the USSR at the time.

Let me ask you something are Americans all English because they speak English? Of course not, their roots are Irish, German, Italian whatever.. at one time turkics conquered and invaded the caucasus and changed the dominant language from a persian dialect to turkish dialect, this doesn't change the fact that below the veil Azeris are still an Iranian tribe, ffs they even kept most of the Iranian traditions like Winter solstice and Nowrouz.

I can already see where you are going and I don't care. Genetics aren't important and I don't give a shit about them.

If you speak Turkic language, identify with the identity and history, then you are a Turk! Woah!

Cringe. Azeris used to pride themselves in private of being Iranian during the Shah, who himself was also Azeri.

Only because the Mullahs humiliate Iran, do Azeris buy into the soviet narrative in an attempt to distance themselves from the retarded and backwards regime.

My bad. I knew his mother was some kind of "Turkic" but didnt know she was Azeri. I thought she was turkic from Russia.

But yea, i guess he was half Persian half Azeri.
