Little Turkey In The Caucasus

[huseyin]

İ am from Azerbaijan. My gens 70% from Caucasian. 30 %from Turkmen and Tatar. But we feel as a Turk even Turkish. We see no differences with Anatolian Turkish people .

[ibrahimk.]

The term “Azeri” was used to describe an Iranian people living in modern day Azerbaijan.

It’s fascinating how they speak a Turkic language now due to prior historical events…

[Ayxan_Eyvaz]

We are mostly Caucasian. Half of our dna is Caucasian and iranian dna is likely 30%. The rest are european, turkic etc

[liluths]

So basically turkanized Iranic people?

[seppo]

As a Azerbaijani i have to clearify one thing baku Azerbaijanis are just a few million people and always speak for all of us ! Im am a real Azerbaijani from Iran and have roots from both Tabriz & Ardabil our genetics are definitely iranic but linguistically & culturally we have adapted turkic and we are referred to As tork (turk) it’s as simple as that but due to political agenda baku Azerbaijanis are running around facts. We are pround turks of iranic origin and our entire history and sacrifices are tied to Iran 🇮🇷✌️

[wiseman]

Azerbajcani people speaks turkic language. But, their blood and genetic is mostly Iranian and Caucasian. Not Turkic DNA such as Kazaks, Kirgiz etc.

[amonov_hh]

They are ethnically Caucasian, culturally Iranian and lingually Turkic! And I think it is cool and what makes them great!

[amd.amdamd]

They're culturally closer to Turkey and genetically closer to Iran. But, still, they celebrate Nowruz like the Iranians.

[grovergrandle]

They have some deep roots on the Caucasus

[bakrdemir]

Since the Turks were semi-nomadic, they intermarried and exchanged culture with the people wherever they went, first the Chinese, then Iran, then Anatolia, then the Balkans and Europe.Genetic change comes from here, but we did not lose our Turkishness because Islam 🇹🇷🐺😌

[arithalstar]

I am an Ashkenazi Jew from Germany and I am Turkic. It doesn't matter what kind of genetic mixture we have, it matters what you have in your heart for your own people. We must learn to get closer to each other & don’t supporting this propaganda, who wants to make us to another ethnic people.

[behroozrezvani]

Yes, they are definitely Persian although Turkeys Panturks want to incorporate them in to Turkey. They are Iranian by DNA and religion.

[oguzhankaraca]

Turks ruled iran more than 1000 years so thats normal.

[hosseinhoushangzadeh]

The intresting part is about 100 years age they spark tati which is iranian language

[hbkhazar]

Azerbaijanis mix. Caucasian, Turkic, Iranian. I love that. They speak Russian, too. Very secular.

[Star_Dust___]

Iranic?))) Azerbaijani Turks are Turks from Oguz Branch !

[rdworldbig]

Medes are original aryans. Median empire meant then what it means in English today: the middle empire. It does not identify an ethnicity. They are medians because they are the aryans in the middle of aryanam.

[MustafaMikayılov]

Don't forget that there are Caucasian people in north of Azerbaijan

[Yolk]

Genetically they are similar to Kurds; so they are Iranian by DNA.

[vincentlilian]

They are Iranian separated by Russia..
