. | Although most of Azerbaijanis want to put a full stop to nearly 90 years of Fars occupation, but there are still some organizations that are willing to start a new system with present government, which includes non-Fars representative in it.
GAMOH (South Azerbaijan’s Awakening Movement) registered Southern Azerbaijan in UNPO as an independent nation with no representative in UN. This act was strongly condemned and rejected by nearly all of Azerbaijani political parties and organizations, because the statement was completely wrong. Northern (Republic of Azerbaijan) and Southern Azerbaijan (under occupation) are from same root. National activists claim that both parts must join again to make the United Azerbaijan as it was before. |
According to The Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) official web site, Representatives of Iranian opposition political parties, minority groups, and civil society have begun arriving in Brussels for a two-day conference examining the state of human rights in Iran.
Representatives of Iranian opposition political parties, minority groups, and civil society have begun arriving in Brussels for a two-day conference examining the state of human rights in Iran and in particular the situation facing Iran’s minority Ahwaz, Azerbaijani, Baloch, and Kurdish populations.
Almost half of Iran’s population is made up of minorities but all groups face varying levels of discrimination from the Iranian authorities on the basis of their language, religion, or ethnicity . This conference will examine how Iran’s minorities can forge a fair and common future, drawing on the potential of federalism.
Participants will be meeting against the backdrop of significant lobbying from the Iranian authorities that have pressured some high-level speakers to withdraw their participation. Nevertheless, the conference represents a rare opportunity to hear constructive criticism from Iranian opposition in the heart of Brussels.
The conference will be held on 1-2 April with opening speeches in Room P4B001 of the European Parliament at 9.15am. The concluding panels of the conference will be held from 9.00am at the Best Western County House Hotel before the closing session of the conference.
According BayBak, Mrs. Fakhte Zamani, Dr. Zia Sadrolashrafi, Mr. Hedayat Soltanzade and Mr. Hasan Shariatmadari (Son of grand ayatollah Shariatmadari) will be representing Azerbaijanis. Although most of Azerbaijanis want to put a full stop to nearly 90 years of Fars occupation, but there are still some organizations that are willing to start a new system with present government, which includes non-Fars representative in it.
GAMOH (South Azerbaijan’s Awakening Movement) registered Southern Azerbaijan in UNPO as an independent nation with no representative in UN.

Northern (Republic of Azerbaijan) and Southern Azerbaijan (under occupation) are from same root.
