As ethnic Azerbaijanis, we have spread to places that may seem completely unrelated. One of these places is Afghanistan. There are between 60,000 and 200,000 local Azerbaijanis living in Afghanistan. Not only in Afghanistan but also in Lebanon, there are ethnic Azerbaijani villages. Do you think we should grant residency permits/citizenship rights to people who can prove they are ethnic Azerbaijanis, like many other countries do? After all, we are the only state for Azerbaijanis in the world, and every Azerbaijani around the globe has a connection with us. Of course, this should not be misunderstood as a guarantee of citizenship any person applies. However, I believe that residency permits should be simplified for those who can prove their Azerbaijani origins, such as Afghan Qizilbash and Lebanese Turcomans. Azerbaijan is experiencing emigration to the West and is currently receiving migrants from countries like Pakistan and India. The integration of people coming from these countries is much more difficult than that of Azerbaijanis from Afghanistan or Lebanon.

    None of them call themselves Azerbaijani, so no they don’t have any connection with the word “Azerbaijani”.
