35 million Azeris live in Iran (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijan_(Iran) Azerbaijan or Azarbaijan , also Iranian Azerbaijan, is a region in northwestern Iran. It is also historically known as Atropatene and Aturpatakan. The region is referred by some as South Azerbaijan or Southern Azerbaijan however, some scholars and sources view these terms as being irredentist and politically motivated. Following the Russo-Persian Wars of the 19th century, and the resulting Treaty of Gulistan of 1813 and the Treaty of Turkmenchay of 1828, Qajar Iran was forced to irrevocable cede all of its territories in the North Caucasus and Transcaucasia proper to neighboring Imperial Russia, amongst which the territory of the contemporary Republic of Azerbaijan.[6] Iranian Azerbaijan, became the northwestern frontier instead, as opposed to priorly the territories that now comprise Georgia and Dagestan.[7] The bulk of the Azerbaijanis stayed in Iran, in Iranian Azerbaijan precisely, following the territorial partition with Russia with the new border set at the Aras River, while the rest of the Azerbaijanis together with the territory of the contemporary adjacent Republic of Azerbaijan, were absorbed into and ceded to Russia. In 1918, the territory of the nowadays Republic of Azerbaijan was to be named Azerbaijan as well upon establishment of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and the decision of the leading Musavat party to adopt the name for the newly established republic,[8] while priorly the territory was known as "Arran" and "Shirvan" by the Iranian rulers as well as all others. The two territories of Iranian Azerbaijan and the Republic of Azerbaijan are the traditional homeland of the Azerbaijanis, who following the outcome of the 19th century Russo-Persian Wars, were parted between the two empires instead of priorly being always part of one, and subsequently nowadays they are partitioned between two nations following the dissolution of the Soviet Union; Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan.[9] The majority in Azerbaijani region are ethnic Azerbaijanis, however minorities of Armenians, Persians, Kurds, Talysh, and Assyrians are present as well. The region has, as well as vice versa, played a pivotal role in the historical development of the Caucasus region, as well as neighbouring Anatolia, and more inland regions of modern-day Iran, and its history is inseparable from the history of the contemporary Azerbaijani Republic. Nowadays, the region borders, clockwise, Iraq, Turkey, Nakhchivan, Armenia, and the Republic of Azerbaijan. The provinces comprising the region are West Azerbaijan Province, East Azerbaijan Province, Ardabil Province, and Zanjan Province. KANALA ABUNƏ OLUN İLK İZLƏYƏN SİZ OLUN !
