In the last 500 years the borders of Iran have remained more or less the same. This is because of the topographical barriers. The country is surrounded by thee mountainous borders and a coastline in the south. The center of the country is an uninhabitable wasteland. Iran's rough terrain brought forth the 16th century metaphor, "The walls of Iran". And despite Iran's growing regional influence, the country remains vulnerable from the inside. Almost half of Iran's total population is non-Persian. Many of Iran's strategic regions are populated by ethnic minorities such as the Azerbaijanis, Kurds, Balochis and Arabs.

Our movemnt is anti-colonialism, and anti-racism movement.
by Savalan on Sat Feb 18, 2012 08:20 PM PSTOur movemnt is anti-colonialism, and anti-racism movement. Here in our own homeland we're not allow to have education in our language, and our grandmothers have told us how they were punished for speaking it. So of course we're angry, we feel deep pain, and we're entitled to huge reparations for the damage done to us.

by پندارنیک on Sat Feb 18, 2012 07:02 PM PSTSo what Savalan? Do you want separation? At any cost? Including but not limited to leaving whatever you've gained so far through your sometimes disproportionate access to the national market, and walk on foot and empty handed to your desired republic? You might as well call it "Egh-zi-dos" or something more poetic............Do you really, in your hot mind, fantasize that we will allow it to ever happen?..............you seem unable to recognize the fragility of the glass house that you live in.........stop throwing stones....................instead, try to help us build a better, more peaceful, and more prosperous nation for all of us, where justice and fairness will prevail............for we the peoples of one, united Iran...........We are all iroonis...........the ethinc issues are for real and have to be settled, but only within our national framework.............I keep repeating these things to you, but you always come back with another ugly-looking map..........as if you don't understand, as if you're a Turk...........It was a joke.........a stupid joke.........meant nothing, you fool............half of my family are Turks or Azeries....whatever is which..........my only problem with the Azeri side of the family is that they're always richer.............that's the only division I consider worthy of a fight............the rest is nonsensical................
I never talk or write this much, not even for a Fars!!!:))
OK, Savalan? Pishevari, the good old Pishevari has been long dead along with his era........things have changed and can get seriously ugly, with no winner........we'll all lose...........

ملتِ سر زمین مارا خیلی دست کم گرفته است. جسارت قابل گذشت است
چون اثری ندارد، ولی هجویات با این کیفیت پایین اهانت به سلیقه خوش اهالی
خاک است. در بزم اساتید موسیقی با قابلمه تنبک گرفته.

by Red Wine on Sat Feb 18, 2012 04:09 PM PSTمشخص است که هیچگاه بدان مناطق سفر نکردید و با هیچ آذری،ترک و قفقازی به صحبت ننشستید،این نبشتار ها،این نقشهها هیچ پایه واقعی ندارند و تنها وقت تلف کردن است.
بد راهی در پیش گرفتهاید،آن اندک حقی را که نیز داشتید..از شما خواهند گرفت.
بیچاره آن دلیر مردان و آن غیور زنانِ آذری که سالها برایِ آن خاک در جلویِ عثمانیان،روس و ازبک جنگیدند تا آن اراضی همچنان در اتحاد با ایران زمین باشد.
خداوند تمامیِ مریض احوالان،روان خرابان را شفایِ عاجل دهد.
