Talk:Azerbaijanis in Turkey

message: As a Turkish person who comes from Azerbaycani Turk (not "azeri", there is nothing called "azeri",azerbaycani Türks do not call themselves "azeri" they call themselves Turk or "Azerbaycani Turk")family, I am not sure Azerbaycani Turks in Turkey should be considered as a separete ethnic minority. We come from same ethnicity(even from same Oghuz subdivision), speak same lanaguage, have the same cultural and historical background; and We surely don't think ourselves as a minority. And when you think of it, where will this kind of classification lead, will there also be a "Cypriot Turk ethnic minority in Turkey" section? İs there a "Northern Korean minority in South Korea" ethnic minortiy section; or a "Western German minority in Eastern Germany" section?   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.97.64.79 (talk) 10:35, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

message: last paragraph
"Today Azeris in Turkey are a growing and well-integrated minority. However, just like Azeris in Iran, many of them are exposed to cultural and language assimilation."
Oh come on, how can people who share a common language, culture, religion with Turks be assimilated ? When and who in Turkey tried to change Azeri culture ? It is ridiculous ! Turkish and Azerbaijani are mutually intelligible, so how can Turks assimilate their own language ?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.235.25.144 (talk) 23:08, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

message: This article remarks, "It is hard to determine how many ethnic Azerbaijanis currently reside in Turkey because ethnicity is a rather fluid concept in this country." But the cited source is about Kurds, rather than Azerbaijanis, and I'm not sure what part of this report is supposed to lend support to this assertion. 
The article Demographics of Turkey gives some more clues:
The concept of "minorities" has only been accepted by the Republic of Turkey as defined by the Treaty of Lausanne of 1924 and thence strictly limited to Greeks, Jews and Armenians, only on religious matters, excluding from the scope of the concept the ethnic identities of these minorities as of others such as the Kurds who make up 15% of the country; others include Assyrians/Syriacs of various Christian denominations, Alevis and all the others.
Maybe this is a holdover from Ottoman times. But actually I've read that the reason why you can't get numbers for Azerbaijanis (and many other ethnic groups) is because the Turkish state officially counts all Turkic-speaking ethnic groups as simply "Turks". The Turkic languages are also regarded as "dialects" in the state universities, and Turkish foreign policy tried to promote Turkish as a lingua franca for the post-Soviet Central Asian republics. Azerbaijan is probably the second most pan-Turkist nation, though, so they might actually self-identify as Turkish Turks, or as non-Anatolian Turks, or something. It would be helpful to have a more specific source to explain why we can't get the numbers. Shrigley (talk) 06:33, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

message: The term "Turkish Azerbaijanis" is being used incorrectly here. It should be written as "Azerbaijani Turkish people". 
"Turkish Azerbaijanis" would imply that the article is about Turks in Azerbaijan, similar to Turkish Americans, Turkish Canadians, Turkish Australians, Turkish Cypriots, Turkish Bulgarians, Turkish Germans etc. etc. 
In articles on ethnic Azerbaijanis, the correct way would be Azerbaijani Americans, Azerbaijani Canadians, Azerbaijani Australians... and therefore Azerbaijani Turkish people. Sseevv (talk) 20:16, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
