IRAN | Speaking Azerbaijani & Exploring Kandovan 🇮🇷

How cool is that to speak your own language in a different country and everyone understands you. This is what happened in Tabriz and especially when I got to Kandovan. Sharing the whole experience with you.

Brother, my family are from Tabriz, but why north Azerbaijan disregards their Iranian ethnicity. We are Turks yes, but also Iranian, and Caucasian. We originally came from ancient Iranian tribes, and we spoke ancient Iranian language before Turkish. Please tell me how you feel about this, thank you. Azerbaijani people always my brothers, and sisters by the way.

[@lordofvurgun187]

@@agostocobain2729 Your government is lying and educating you in a wrong way. Firstly, Iranian is not an ethnicity. Iranian is for those who lives in Iran. Your Ethnicity is Azerbaijani Turk, Or Iranian Turk as they say in Iran. I don't know who manunpilated the history in Iran, but We were not iranian tribe or something. Our ancestors migrated from Central asia. And our first "state" was Atabegs. We just got mixed with Persians, that is all. + We know Azeris in Iran are our brothers, but the regime in iran is not the best and treats Azeris unequally as there are a lot of them and Azeri language is still not official.

[@PeterPesser]

​@@lordofvurgun187Not true. They are many iranian tribes. The persian people of Iran the kurds of Iran the baloch of Iran the tajiks of tajikistan and Afghanistan and also the pashtons of Afghanistan are all iranian tribes. And before the turks came to Turkey and azerbaijan there live tribes before. The Religion of These tribes were zoroastrian an iranian religion.they are still fire Tempels in Aserbaidschan. After the turks Came the Assimilation started and the people of These Region speak turkish.but in origin They we're never turks. Azeris Like other iranian tribes in origin zoroastrian people and also celebrate new rooz .They are also Like Iran shia country. Azeris are still iranian people with an Assimilation of turks. Real turks Look Like uzbeks turkmens uygur kazakh kirgis but azeris Look from face Like iranian people.

I didn't know why kandovan called for this name, I learned from you. I live in Tabriz. I have gone there many times. Good job

[@user-jc4wr9im7o]

Me too from Ardabil. Unfortunately we never have had opportunity to learn our language. There are so many city, mountain and river names have changed to farsi or persianised. I was told Kendovan means "like kandoo" in Farsi but "kend ovan" Turkish is make more sense.

[@Jjnurlan]

Ovan = ovmaq. türkce Tebrizli bunu niye bilmez?

[@belalkarimipour]

@@Jjnurlan You're right but many cities and villages are in Iran that ended to "OVAN" but they are Persian words. I thought that KANDOVAN is also one of them.

[@user-jc4wr9im7o]

@@belalkarimipour Yes Farsi speaking areas are fine. The problem is that they have interpreted Turkish names with Farsi logic like this one or have changed. I heard some where they have changed city called "akhma qaya" means floating castle to " ahmagiyye" meand foolish or like "savalan" that is the local name of the mountain has been changed to "sabalan".

[@user-jc4wr9im7o]

@@Jjnurlan we are not educated in our language plus every name is Persianized. What I mean is that if there is a city, mountain and river name we look to see what it means in Farsi, not in our Az Turkish language. Like " Kandovan" in Farsi kinda has meaning of " bee hives" or "tr pətəklər " I can give you so many examples of this kind unfortunately 😔

Many Azeris from Baku area are misinformed. Azeris are and were always historically part of Iran. They sadly lost their idendity because of the soviet union. You can ask any azeri in Iran, they are proud of their Iranian history and background. Just look for battle of Chaldiran.

@@user-jc4wr9im7o haha the only thing you achieved was to keep our lands divided.

The majority of Iranians are much more fond of Pahlavis in our history rather than Qajaris

[@user-jc4wr9im7o]

@@SagaciousOwl Yes I know it and that is the Pan-iranist propaganda. Because Palavis have been the only pro-persion dynasty in this region. Go look for how Agha Mohammed khan built the country from nothing. All the Turkish dynasties fought and built the empire from scratch but the Pahlavis were the only so called kings knew good to flee when there is an issue 🙄 😀 I mean look at both dad and his son.
