historylover1230:Talysh- The Talysh are an Iranian people found on the coast of the Caspian Sea in Iran and Azerbaijan. During the Soviet period the Talysh identity was not acknowledged by the government, who forced them to identify as Azerbaijani. In 1993, a few years after Azerbaijan’s independence, the Talysh attempted to form the independent Talysh-Mughan Autonomous Republic, but was quickly quashed by the Azerbaijani government. Following this Talysh have been pressured to assimilate into Azerbaijani culture and abandon their traditional language and culture. -- source link
