Any move by Azerbaijanis makes government to feel real danger and the regime is in fear of Azerbaijanis joining the green movement. However the fear remains, but because the leadership of green movement inside Iran and abroad are not recognising the national rights of native Turks in Azerbaijani regions (the also deny to recognise Arab, Baluch’s and other non-Fars nations rights) Azerbaijanis are not yet decided to take side. If at any time one of the sides in recent clashes recognises the national rights of Azerbaijanis, then it will be the end of the other side. Azerbaijani nationalists have already sent many messages to both sides to accept their rights and stop violence which is the main issue in the way of democracy. |
