Yeah, an how reliable is Mr. Izady? He also claims the Bakhtiaris are descendants of Persian tribes from Tajikistan who migrated from the area in the 10th century and mixed with Kurds. The main probelm with his argument is that Persians are a sedentary and urbanized people; they do not group themselves in tribes and they most certaintly are not nomadic.
