[edit] Urmia

Dear Shahram, we are not "comrades" and Wikipedia is not a battleground. "You all.." this kind of generalisation does not help the matter. Also no one is against Kurds. In the past week I have been called all sorts of names here such as "monarchist", "pan-farsist", etc. So please do mind the name calling which I do not like. Now about the matter of Urmia. I have never said personally I dont think but I am pretty sure that it is a majority Azeri city. What we are trying to do is to have correct and verifiable information about Iran-related articles. There is no doubt that Kurds and Azeris live there but until we can find reliable statistics there is no point in guess work. I would like to ensure you that no one is anti-Kurd here, because that to me would be anti-Iranian and anti-humanity and racist and I am not that. Zoroastrianism is religion, not related to this.

Oh and by the way about "yet you so vehemently oppose Kurds, who according to innumerable sources, are more Iranian than Turks or Persian-wanabee" no one is "more Iranian" than anyone else, thats disturbing that you'd think like that -- - K a s h Talk | email 22:25, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
== The main problem ==

In the district (shahrestan) Orumiyeh, virtually all the villages are Kurdish. But the city itself at least in the last 80 year was more Azeri speaking. But since the city has grown and incorporated many of the surrounding towns and villages which are virually all Kurdish, it seems that the majority of the population is probably of Kurdish extraction. Specially the migrations from many villages in to the towns have been significant all across Iran and Umria is no expection. The majority of villages in West Azarbaijan are indeed Kurdish. Also The Kurdish birth-rate is much higher and this has also lead the city to be majority Kurdish. Although it must be emphasized that many Kurds also speak Azeri Turkish as well as Persian. An Azari lady who visited the city recently confirmed for me that the city is by now probably majority Kurdish.
