Interesting blog entry on unrest in Iranian Azerbaijan. Via <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://regimechangeiran.blogspot.com/2006/06/video-of-massive-tabriz-anti-regime.html">Regime Change Iran</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->, which as I've noted before is mostly a warmongering neocon propaganda site, but since they do at the very least hold to the pretense that the US is interested in sponsoring "democracy" in Iran, it's curious (to say the least) when stuff like this shows up there. <br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Video of massive Tabriz anti-regime demonstrations<br></strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>I saw this video clip of the recent massive anti-regime demonstrations in Tabriz on google this morning, and Winston has been quick to cover it.<br><br>Just a few comments that i'd like to make on the unrest in Iranian Azerbaijan. First of all it really goes to show what a massive participation there was in Tabriz, however <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>the person who uploaded that video clearly is a Pan-Turanian belonging to the "Grey Wolf" faction of this movement who is trying to depict this massive anti-IRI demonstration as a "anti-Iran" demonstration! These lowlives are doing their best to tear Iran into pieaces and i've seen some of their supporters amongst those in the crowds showing their infamous "Grey Wolf" sign (done in the shape of a bullshorn);</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> a graphical picture can be seen HERE and HERE to help demonstrate (if you go and look at the pictures from the demo's you will notice some people making these signs). You can research their movement further, and an excellent study to begin with and which is very comprehensive is the one written by Kaveh Farrokh on how Pan-Turanism is taking aim at Iranian Azerbaijan.<br><br>None the less such an anti-Iranian movement like theirs will not be able to hijack this truly IRANIAN freedom movement. I do believe that if Iranian Azeri's were aware of this threat (Pan-Turanism) to their nation these Pan-Turanian infiltrators showing the "Grey Wolf" signs would have been dealt with severely. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>The Pan-Turanists are doing their best making this look like a movement in support of the seperation of Azerbaijan from the motherland Iran!</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> The title they have put on for this clip on google is "Azeri's protest Chauvinism" and with "chauvinism" they are referring to something they call "Persian Chauvinism"; little do they know that some of the leading figures of this barbaric regime hail from Iranian Azerbaijan! And by that I am not condemning any region or people since the SAVAGES that make up this regime come from all across Iran and yes even from the province of PARS where the "Persians" hail from. Azeri's, Kurds, Balooch, Mazandarani etc all of them are Iranian peoples (note again in wikipedia that the Pan-Turanians are hard at work trying to seperate Iranian Azeri's from their motherland; i'd refer you back to Dr Kaveh Farrokh article on the origin of Iranian Azeri's). Iranian Azeri's have strong loyalty to their motherland; peoples from all of Iran's different provinces including Azerbaijan, Kordestan, Baloochestan, and Pars are all proud of their provinces and extraordinary men and women that have hailed from them - it is all of Iran's provinces put together that make Iran the great and beautiful nation it is but which unfortunately has been hijacked by a bunch of Islamists who seek to destroy Iran and Iranian culture.<br><br>Please be aware of the propaganda and <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>it sure as hell wouldn't surprise me if the western press supports any effort towards the disintegration or "Balkanization" of Iran.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> In the end it will only remain that though a "futile effort" that will never bare fruit because Iranians will fight to their last blood defending their motherland. Iranian Azeri's will be the first ones to confront any attempt to secede Iranian territory.<br><br>This is a topic that is dear to me as I have Azeri heritage myself in my family and a cause that all Iranians feel strongly about and which needs to be dead-clear for everyone.<br><br>More power to Iranian Azeri's demanding freedom and for their rights to be recognized.<br><br>Yashasin Iran!<br>Yashasin Azarabadegan!<br><br>posted by Aryamehr at 9:56 PM<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://aryamehr11.blogspot.com/2006/06/video-of-massive-tabriz-anti-regime.html">link</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br><br>The background to this is, briefly, during the Cold War the western nations, in order to help keep Turkey within the NATO alliance, supported extreme right pan-Turkic elements including the National Action Party (MHP), the "youth oganization" of which, the Grey Wolves, formed the backbone of the CIA's "Gladio" stay-behind networks in Turkey. The most famous Grey Wolf was probably Mehmet Ali Agca, who shot and wounded the Pope in 1981.<br><br>Now, I don't know very much about the ethnic divisions in that region, nor could I clearly explain to you the meaningful differences between pan-Turkism and pan-Turanism, so I'm the first to admit that I don't know what's going on here. But I guess the relevant questions would be: to what extent is the unrest being hijacked or manipulated by these unsavory elements? Are they merely indigeneous neo-fascists at this point, or is somebody pulling their strings? Or...red herring?<br><br>Here's an inside-the-beltway account: <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.washingtoninstitute.org/templateC05.php?CID=2476">Iranian Azeris: A Giant Minority</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> And the study that that blogger links to looks kinda interesting too: <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.rozanehmagazine.com/NoveDec05/aazariINDEX.HTML">PAN TURIANISM TAKES AIM AT AZERBAIJAN: A Geopolitical Agenda</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.coxandforkum.com/archives/06.05.30.StepByStep-X.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>edit: fixed link</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=albion@rigorousintuition>albion</A> at: 6/7/06 2:17 am<br></i>
