Anti-Iranian Sentiment In Azerbaijan
Anti-Iranian sentiment in Azerbaijan dates back to 1918 when the first Azerbaijani nation was emerging under a pan-Turkist ideology. From thenceforward, political elites with pan-Turkist-oriented sentiments in the area that comprises the present-day Azerbaijan Republic have depended on the concept of ethnic nationalism in order to create an anti-Iranian sense of ethnicity amongst Iranian Azerbaijanis. Azerbaijan's post-Soviet national identity is strongly anti-Iranian and primarily Turkocentric. It has been built in various ways to oppose Iran as "the other," not just as a country but also as a culture and historical entity. Nowadays, being Azerbaijani means rejecting any ties to Iran. The belief that Azerbaijanis have been and continue to be victims of Iranians (and Armenians) is planted in children through state-sponsored propaganda and brainwashing in schools.

Azarbayjan, Joz-e La-yanfakk-e Iran
''Azarbayjan, Joz-e la-yanfakk-e Iran'' ("Azerbaijan, an Inseparable Part of Iran") was a bilingual newspaper published in Baku by the local Committee of the Democrat Party of Qajar Iran. It was published on 10 February 1918 as a response to the viewpoint expressed in the ''Açiq Söz'' newspaper by the Musavat party, which they saw as an attempt by pan-Turkists to undermine the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Iran. Recruited from the Iranian Azerbaijani population in Baku and its neighbouring areas, the Democrat Party's Baku Committee was established by Mohammad Khan Tarbiyat in 1914. The editor of the newspaper was Mirza Aliqoli. The title of its publications read "Azarbayjan" in large characters, with "Joz-e la-yanfakk-e Iran" made much smaller and put inside the "n" of that word. The local political activist Salamullah Javid later admitted that "the decision to publish the newspaper was taken by the Democrats at the local level and was a direct response to irredenti ...

Committee
A committee or commission is a body of one or more persons subordinate to a deliberative assembly. A committee is not itself considered to be a form of assembly. Usually, the assembly sends matters into a committee as a way to explore them more fully than would be possible if the assembly itself were considering them. Committees may have different functions and their types of work differ depending on the type of the organization and its needs. A member of a legislature may be delegated a committee assignment, which gives them the right to serve on a certain committee. Purpose A deliberative assembly may form a committee (or "commission") consisting of one or more persons to assist with the work of the assembly. For larger organizations, much work is done in committees. Committees can be a way to formally draw together people of relevant expertise from different parts of an organization who otherwise would not have a good way to share information and coordinate actions. They may ...
