While I agree with him/her in parts, I'm yet to come across a "Persian" who calls himself or herself "Aryan" and not Iranian, well, unless his name is actually Aryan or Arian! "Persian" is one ethnic group in Iran. And, there is nothing wrong with calling yourself "Persian" or "Azari" etc.. I think perhaps the author is obsessing too much about "Aryanism". Anyhow, I like Hamid Tehrani's summary more. I just read the author’s original post.

I had a post a couple of months ago about ethnicity in Iran as well. And, more recently on "Kurdish Rebellion". Like your writing and topics. Absolutely and totally agree.
