What is "Iranian"??
Azeri Turks try to redefine the concept of "Iranian" from "Iranian as a citizen of Iran" into "Iranian Race". This way Azeris can include themselves into an imaginary history of Iran.
Azeri view of "Iranian"
The argument about who is a real Iranian and who is not is a fraud. It is a wedge tactic by those who want to divide us to rule us. Yet we are stupid enough to fall for it repeatedly and never learn from our mistakes.
You can not love Iran without loving Iranians. I love Azeris, I love Bahais, I love Bahai Azeris because they are all Iranian ["Heechee kam nadaaran", "Politicizing linguistics"]. It should be our collective shame that we stood by, beit freightened for our own safety, while evil persecuted our Bahai compatriots in our name. Shame on them for spilling the blood of Iranians. Shame on us for not acknowledging their suffering.
And who can question the commitment of the Azeri people to this nation when in recent history they have always saved Iran in her darkest hour of need. From the Safavid Kings of Persia (from Ardebil) to Sattar Khan and Bagher Khan of the Constitutional Revolution. If our orphaned brothers to the north of Aras want to come back to the fold of the Iranian family we should welcome them with open arms.
There is only one prerequisite for being Iranian and that is to love Iran and its beautiful and rich culture. The army of Ahriman can never destroy us for:

Azeri: on "Iranians":
WE ARE ALL IRANI... I dance kordi and turki and understand a bit of it... but i was born in tehran (not that there is anything special about that... i wish i was born in different province)... none of my family is from shahrestan... why do you wanna divide... no offense but its ppl like you who wanna break up iran apart...
kords, baluch, bakhtiari etc. have different CUSTOMS... but our culture is the same... cutoms and culture are too different things... i love to learn about your custom... so teach me instead of keep saying that your are different... let me understand you... dont tell me i dont tell me you are diffent so i dont understand you...
and the ethnic tension... there should be none... everybody is equally abused under the current regim...
iran is no different than usa... so why do we keeping saying oh...im tork.... im kord... im different... we are all IRANI..
Persians: on "Iranians":
you know nothing about me, do you even know what you're talking about? When did I want to seperate Iran? Different customs make different cultures. Iran is multi ethnic and multi cultural, you can never put them all into a blender and achieve cultural utopia, that is a fact.
The best thing that can be done is to educate people about others; teaching them mutual respect, of course official language should be Persian.
The US is a mess, can you imagine if the economy turned third world? The country would seperate in an instant along racial lines.
By "politicizing Linguistic" Azeri Turks mean that there is an "Iranian Race" in Iran and they only speak different languages. "Somebody" is trying to create conflicts between "Iranians who speak different languages".
This view of "Iranian" was the official view under the Shah's regime. The consequence of assuming an "Iranian Race" led to the establishment of Azeri Turk Republic of Iran in 1979. The natives of Iran had a blind view of the question of ethnicity and regarded everybody as a native of Iran. Azeri Turks who have a tribal ethnic culture could easily capture the state power by hiding themselves under the label of "Iranian". This resulted in massive loss of life for the natives who were executed on a daily basis in Iran after the "Islamic or Azeri Turk Revolution in 1979". The slogan "We are all Iranians" has actually turned out to be "We are all Azeri Turks".
