There are far better maps of Iranian ethnic group distributions than this one out there. Never mind the terminology (Farsistan) is retarded.

pppff,
Nevertheless, azerbaijan will be assimilated again in Iran and Talysh, Gilakis, Armenians living there under the oppressive regime of Ilham Aliev will be free and will rejoin our republic.
Long live Iran and all the iranians! :))))
Cheers
