      Iranian Azerbaijanis like you are the REAL successors of Atropatene, and we Armenians respect our ancient friends! Our problem is with Turkic Azeris who steal Iranian Azerbaijani culture (among Caucasian Albanian and Safavid) and claim it as theirs, while clearly these are all lies...

    Fun fact: Roman Emperor Heraclius offered Khosrou II a treaty in 624 A.D. to end the war earlier that would've allowed the Persians to keep all the territory they had gained minus Anatolia and Lazica. Had Khosrou II accepted the treaty, then it's likely that the Sassanid Empire would've been spared from Muslim conquest as the Persians would've had more time to rebuild, more territory, resources, etc. Meanwhile, the Eastern Roman Empire would've been able to focus more on the more homogeneous parts of their empire.
    Shame it didn't occur, in large part due to the pride of the Persians and them not willing to accept a treaty favorable to them unless forced to do so..

    • @erfan.
      @erfan. 3 года назад +5

      ​@@viraloracle5151 I agree with you on Shapur but about Khosrow, the thing is his ascension to the throne was by getting help from the Roman emperor and in return he gave up a piece of land that was obtained by the hard work of many previous kings of Iran. and then after the death of the emperor who had helped him become king, he used that as an excuse and launched a useless grand campaign against the Romans that in the end achieved nothing but destruction of both empires. He also caused so much internal problems and a civil war that crippled the Sassanids to the core. Although I think the start of the civil wars was even before he became king but he did not help either and worsened the situation even more. so all and all I'm not an expert but i think he was the main reason for the downfall of the Sassanids. Imagine if the emperor who had helped him wasn't deposed :( maybe the two empires could have remained friends and helped each other against the barbarians that were rising in all corners of the world

      @Şahin Asgerov Azerbaijani's were originally caucasian and spoke a northeastern caucasian language called Udi. Those were the Caucasian Albanians. Then they were iranicized and began to speak Azeri which was a variety of iranic language. Then they were Turkified when the Oghuz Turks moved into the area from central asia. Most of Azeri dna is indigenous to the area but there is about 10% east asian/siberian dna that comes from the Turkic tribes. Armenians and Georgians do not have this asian dna that Azeris have. So you are partly correct that Azeris are indigenous but they also received Turkic admixture in the early modern period. Anatolian Turks and Caucasian Turks (Azeris) both have this East/Asian Altaic inheritance along with the Turkish language.

      the name of ‘Byzantine’ was made up by Renaissance reformists which thought that the mere existence of Rome (or at least a rump state) didn’t fit their narrative of Rome and Ancient Greece being a long-lost era, so they uncovered the old Greek name for Constantinople (Byzantium) and named the Eastern Romans that. not saying the Renaissance was a bad thing for Europe, just that the reformists of that era made several deliberate mistakes to realize their dream.
