	THE IRANIAN: Azeris in Iran, Salman J. Borhani
		Azeris shared in the despair of the whole country as the revolutionary government steadily became more repressive and eactionary while the economy plummeted, leaving millions jobless.
		Azeris and Persians, along with a multitude of other ethnic groups, fought and died together on the frontlines battling an enemy every Iranian loathed: a virulent brand of aggressive Arab nationalism encapsulated by personage of Saddam Hussein.
		The Azeri support of the war effort increased the group's level of acceptance among both the Iranian populace and the nation's elites.With the foundation of a shared identity created by years of war, recent Iranian governments have felt more confident granting linguistic rights to the Azeri people.

	Armenien-Armenia-Karabach (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Contemporary Azeris — similarly to their Turkish cousins — are the descendents of Turkic horsemen who arrived to the Caucasus from their homeland in Central Asian in the late Middle Ages.
		It is a stretch to speak about the existence of "Azeris" or "Azerbaijanis" of any sort, either as a single ethnic group, cultural entity or ethno-political unit before the late 19th century, when the oil boom in the Caspian resulted in rapid industrialization and urbanization of the Absheron peninsula.
		This practice is aimed at legitimizing the presence of the Azeri state on the territories which were earlier associated with or, in fact, were original homelands of other peoples of the region and became part of today's Azerbaijan as a matter of chance, political expediency or even topographic error.

	Nagorny Karabakh: A Karabakh Azeri perspective (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In Azerbaijan the term ‘Karabakh Azeris’ used to refer to the population of the wider historical Karabakh region, which included the area of Nagorny Karabakh along with the Lachin and Kelbajar districts (together forming what Azeris refer to as ‘upland’ or ‘mountainous Karabakh’) and the adjacent lowland territories (‘lowland Karabakh’).
		Azeris living in these adjacent districts no longer fell within the official definition of the Karabakh Azeri community, which was reduced to virtually the population of Shusha, where over 70 per cent of the Azeris of NKAO lived before the conflict.
		However, the Karabakh Azeris believe such a formulation is false and a pretext for denying their right to return, because the question of repatriation of Armenian refugees from parts of Azerbaijan outside of Nagorny Karabakh should be dealt with in parallel with the recognition of a similar right for Azeri refugees from Armenia.

		Azeri officials are acutely aware of their isolation from the West, and this deepens the rather persuasive sense of vulnerability that officials conveyed to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly delegation.
		Azeri officials also argue that NATO reluctance to deepen the relationship because of the war in Nagrorno-Karabakh seems strange given that the NATO relationship with Russia was deepening during its conflict in Chechnya.
		Azeri government officials are quick to point out that 1 million refugees, years of internal unrest, pervasive poverty, and a very brief experience administering a sovereign nation has made it particularly difficult to construct working democratic institutions and practices.

		By most accounts, it appears that Azeris in Iran that are content to be a part of the Iranian state are not at risk of explicit political, cultural, or economic discrimination.
		However, Azeri activist Mahmoud Ali Chehregani in 2000 was prevented from registering as a candidate for an election in Tabriz by being detained by local police until after the registration deadline had passed.
		Political parties demanding the advancement of Azeri cultural or political claims are banned in Iran, and it is therefore difficult to assess Azeri organizational activities and strength.

		Azeri nationalist scholars in 1970s and 1980s tried to "expropriate" and attribute the cultural legacy of the Aluanians and their Udinian descendants to Azeris, amid surprise and indignation of international academic community.
		Motivated by the odd logic of ethnopolitics, the deportation of the Udins from Azerbaijan in autumn of 1989 was chiefly driven by a desire to eradicate the rival claimants to the Aluanian historical heritage.

	Nationalism and Ethnic Conflicts in Transcaucasia in Comparative Perspective

		Meanwhile, Chehregani's visit to Baku coincided with the activization of the national liberation movement of Azeris in Iran and with the fourth anniversary of the suppression of a students’ demonstration by the Tehran regime.

	Jihad Watch: Many Azeris see Iranian hand behind wave of unrest
		Both Iran and Azerbaijan are Shiite, but Azeris fear that Iran wants to destabilize the country by spreading its brand of militant Islam across the border.
		It is Azerbaijan's secularists who must whip up sentiment against the cruel Islamic Republic of Iran, for suppressing the Azeris under their rule, and pointing out that those Azeris deserve to be reunited, and the lands under them as well, with Azerbaijan.
		First, there may even be people of Azeri, or possibly (more unlikely) Kurdish descent, who have some useful knowledge about that project, or the placement of the facilities, and who might now have better reason to weaken the central authority if they see a chance for their own minority to gain its independence.

	Air War over Nagorniy-Kharabakh, 1988-1994
		On the first view, the Azeri attack against this Mi-26 appears as an unprovoked slaughter of civilians, but it must be mentioned, that between the 23 February and 7 March, the Russian Army helicopters flew the whole 366th Mechanized Infantry Regiment to Stepankert, the capital of Nagorniy-Kharabakh.
		Nevertheless, the Azeris were not to stop, especially as now their military was to be considerably reinforced, as it was agreed that most of the former Soviet Army units still on their soil were to leave their equipment back.
		The Azeris responded by pounding the hills with BM-21 rocket launchers, and also The Armenians were unable to keep the corridor into Nagorniy Kharabakh permanently open, as their transport convoys were frequently hit by AzAF fighters and helicopters.

		Azeris argue that ASALA (The Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia) still exists and is being trained in Iran, and that this organization has been one of the forces influencing the Armenian government of Nagorno Karabakh.
		From an Azeri point of view, it is natural to see these accords and gestures of friendship as a threat to its security and as an attempt to corner Azerbaijan.
