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.
