Non che Reddit sia il posto più obiettivo per ottenere queste informazioni, ma quanto saresti ricettivo nei confronti di una (ri)unificazione con l’Azerbaigian meridionale in caso di crollo del governo iraniano?

I’m not an Azerbaijani or an Iranian, and I don’t feel too strongly about the Iranian regime one way or another (not a fan of their ideology, but I’m not a fan of them becoming an American-Israeli puppet state either) so I don’t have a horse in the race whatsoever. Just wondering. Thanks in advance!

hello no ! If they are willing to come assimilate and live in Azerbaijan they are more than welcome to. If anyone supports annexation they should be as equally supportive of Armenian claim to Karabakh

As an Iranian Azerbaijani, please don’t. Iranian Azeris are a much more conservative and religious demographic. You don’t need it. What should happen is though a better path for migration and citizenship- within that religious and conservative demographic, there’s a lot of secular and educated people who would jump at the opportunity in a heartbeat.

It’s kinda complicated,i think our government wouldn’t want to unite with south Azeris,but rather have an allied and independent southern Azeri republic,because South Azerbaijan has bigger pop than Azerbaijan,and most of them are definetily not Aliyev loyalists,so such an influx would put YAP/Aliyev rule at risk,aswell as be a bureaucratic strain(it’s not easy to manage so many territories,especially if they appear at once).Personally i hope that an independent and democratic republic will be established in South Azerbaijan.

Not a good idea, firstly, our economy is extremely bad, we are at the bottom in terms of GDP per capita in South Caucasia, unemployment and inflation are soaring, now imagine a region bigger than Azerbaijan and double population (maybe even more) to join us.
Secondly, even though we are same nation, but our ideology is different, we had lived under Soviet Union 70 years without extreme religious, meanwhile they have living under theocratic radical Islamic regime since 1979.
Thirdly not all people living in South Azerbaijan are Turkic and speaking Azerbaijani, there are Persian, Arabs, Kurds and etc, we need give an opportunity all local people to have their own language and other autonomy.
Lastly, as I mentioned country will get bigger suddenly, but with old, Soviet-style administrative government, it would be impossible to control whole region, we will need new constitution, parliament, municipality system and etc.

I wish 2 options would happen, either they get their independence peacefully and live like this or federative and monarchy in Iran so South Azerbaijan gets their autonomy in the highest possible way that they can

Negative. First, the eagle shape on the map looks amazing. Second, it would create endless hostility with Iranians.

As a Turk I have to say that Azerbaijan’s unifying with it’s people in the south will give us (Turkey) a huge favour since that means we will have a direct access to other Turkic states. But in the sociocultural aspect, 10 Million secular Northern Azerbaijani and 25 Million religious Southern Azerbaijani are being in a single state can cause some problems for Azerbaijan.

Why on earth would the people in South Azerbaijan want to join another dictatorship after they liberated themselves from the theocracy right now?!
