The Iranian Turkmens Society issued a statement today is support of the Azeris protesters in Iran:
The Iranian Turkmens consider the insult to the Azeri people as done to them, the Turkmensahra Liberation Organization told APA. The statement reads that the caricature published on the Iran Daily, which is insulting the entire Azeri nation, has been purposefully prepared.
“As a matter of fact, the expressions in the article display the viewpoint of the chauvinistic Farsi dominance in Iran towards the Turks. Farsi chauvinists try everything possible to prevent the Iranian Turks learn and use their native tongue. However, these fools fail to realize that the policy of assimilation against people has long been defeated in Iran and ethnic groups have been trying to preserve their customs, languages and cultures more than ever. People have realized that Farsi chauvinism is behind these propaganda activities against religion and sects, and that their sole purpose is to wipe out their ethnic cultures and languages. Today, the developments in different parts of Iran indicate that ethnic groups are now ready to defend their identities, honors and the heritage of their ancestors,” the statement reads.
The Turkmensahra Liberation Organization also states that mass protests staged by Azerbaijanis in Iran are not a temporary and spontaneous incident, triggered by the insults of a newspaper.
Further, the Iranian Regime gets a firm warning from the Turkmens:
We warn the dominant Farsi regime that as long as they maintain cultural assimilation, oppression and forceful confiscation of people’s fatherland, they will encounter with uncontrollable events of much greater scale in Turkmensahra soon as it was the case in history,” the statement concludes.
