And Turkey is also like this. I just take a look at to Hurriyet newspaper, which is one of the biggest, the biggest newspaper in Turkey, which says that Israel's new plan to make a new Kurdish government in the Turkish border. Again, the same plan, the same in Mahabat.
Mahabat is one of the cities at the southeast point of the West Azerbaijan province, which is like the resided by Kurds. So about Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan is a small country and basically it's sandwiched between Russia and Turkey, Russia and Iran. So two countries which are very hostile toward Azerbaijan.
And about Iran, always they try to just stay away from the conflict. But Iran, because it has their own serious ethnic issue inside Iran. So they always see the Republic of Azerbaijan as a big threat.
Because like there was the Akbar Ganji, he was in part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He said the existence of the Azerbaijan, even in the one meter called Azerbaijan, Republic of Azerbaijan, is the biggest national security to Iran, because we have a huge Azerbaijani population, which we didn't give any rights to them. Like the 30 million Azerbaijanis, they don't have one school in their mother language.
The thousands of Azerbaijanis, we can, we did like the monitor thousands of Azerbaijanis go every year to the prison, like the 10 years, 15 years, prison sentences for nothing. Like they just want the basic ethnic rights. And like because of that, Iran is always like a hostile toward Azerbaijan.
And if Iran is weak and if Iran is losing the ground, Turkey and Azerbaijan might enter. I mean, can I go ahead? And I think we left on that, but I want to go to Saad next. Yeah, real quick.
That's that's the most disingenuous five minutes I've had the luxury of not being able to forget, because now I can remember it. Pazashkhan himself right now, the president of other might as well be the president of Iran. He's Azerbaijani ethnically.
