Northern Iran

Since a huge number of Iranian population are Azeri (Including me!) and those people are genetically related to other Iranic Peoples, I think the term "Northern Iran" is both historically and logically more accurate.

according to many histories azerbaijan people are a mixture between proto turkish people like scythians and huns and later turkish people like khazars and seljuks and later during mongol invasion some uighor turkish tribes immigrated to the area, the north and south azerbaijan has been a turkic accomodated area for at least 3500 years, geneticaly azeri people are so close to people of turkey, common turkic looks is white skinned and colored eyes with hairs varying between black to pure blond, this is while persians of iran are brown and semitic, genetics of turkic people are also very similar to many east european nations because of massive cuman, kipchak, bulgar, khazar and other turkic tribes immigrations to the east europe countries, this is while persians have the closest genetic traits to Arabic and semitic people, based on the historical facts it is quite wrong to consider azerbaijan an iranian area, the only known government in azerbaijan were local khanats, later during the safavid dynasty of iran (which were also a turkic clan) ottoman empire captured azerbaijan, but the area remained under khanat feudal systems until russian empire and qajar dynasty of iran commensed some claims over the area and at last a war begun between qajars and russians over deviding the lands, after many years of war they agreed to put the arax river as the border line, since then north azerbaijan was under russian and later soviet rule and south azerbaijan occupied by iran, nowaday north azerbaijan has gained its independence but south azerbaijan is still under iran's cruelty. the population of azeri turks in iran are at least estimated to be about 20 million souls, this must not be the source of mistake about considering persians as whites, those are iranian azeri turks, persians are a brown semitic people. also this is a very accurate map about the azeri accomodated areas in iran: http://www.joshuaproject.net/profiles/maps/m18859_ir.pdf more references: http://en.wikipedia.org/Genetic_origins_of_the_Turkish_people http://en.wikipedia.org/Great_Seljuq_Empire http://southaz.blogspot.com/2010/07/irans-multi-cultural-and-multi-ethnic.html http://en.wikipedia.org/Khazar http://en.wikipedia.org/Turkic_peoples http://en.wikipedia.org/Ural-Altaic_languages http://www.iranian.com/main/blog/jahanshah-javid/genetics-iranians-least-similar-europeans-or-other-near-easterners http://en.wikipedia.org/Qizilbash http://www.technologyreview.com/biomedicine/21326/ http://en.wikipedia.org/History_of_Azerbaijan#Azerbaijan_Democratic_Republic http://en.wikipedia.org/Turanid_race http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/tomyris.html

As the term Azerbaijan needs disambiguation in many occasions . I think moving the present page to Republic of Azerbaijan is reasonable .--Alborz Fallah (talk) 10:19, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

POV ethnic map

Recently user Yerevanci has been waging an edit-war on this page, , , , , . User Yerevanci attempted implement several POV changes, with his map, which was with error and had misleading legend. He was notified on the invalidity of the map . First of all. what is the source of this map? Second, ethnic Armenians live in Nagorno-Karabakh, the regions surrounding NK are unpopulated or sparsely populated. Yet this fact is not reflected in this map, in fact the opposite is depicted. Third, in order to prevent a edit-war, an ethnic map of Armenia should also be introduced into the Armenia article. I have restored the previous picture, until a consensus can be reached on this issue. Mursel (talk) 19:59, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

OK, first the source is clearly written here. Second, after your notification, I changed the map now it does show Talysh people and the surrounding area of NK is shown as sparsely Armenian-inhabited area. Third, I think it would have been great, but the ethnic composition of Armenia is 98% Armenian and there are only 2 ethnic minorities (Yezidisi and Russians) that exceed 10,000 and there are only about 20 Yezidi-inhabited villages and that's it. If you wanna make a map with just showing one color, go ahead, do it. In my opinion, there's no need for that.--Yerevanci (talk) 20:42, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Incomplete/meaningless text in 2nd paragraph

"The country was among the birthplaces of mankind."

Which means what exactly? Religious/historical beliefs aside, this is very confusing.

"Located at the heart of ancient civilizations."

Fragment! Consider revising! I guess this should just be stuck together with the previous sentence.

Please could someone do something with this! I don't have the knowledge to know what to correct. Thanks, OrbiterSpacethingy (talk) 18:02, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
