He is an "Azerbaijani"???[edit]

In the late 1930s, Stalin and his regime came up with the idea to refer to all of the Turks/Tatars and other ethnic groups of Muslim faith in the South Caucasian region as "Azerbaijani".

Abbasgulu Bakikhanov passed away 90 years before this.

How can he be an "Azerbaijani"? I've read his works and he never called himself an "Azerbaijani". In fact, his book about the South Caucasian region is called "SHIRVAN and DAGESTAN" and not "Azerbaijan". This article is yet another piece of fiction for the pan-Turk revisionism plaguing Wikipedia.

Sure, we are all on a payroll by Erdogan.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:49, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Confucius never called himself "Chinese" and died many years before the term "China" was invented, so he is not Chinese, according to your logic.
Regarding the use of Azerbaijanis as the etnonym: When the Southern Caucasus became part of the Russian Empire in the nineteenth century, the Russian authorities, who traditionally referred to all Turkic people as Tatars, defined Tatars living in the Transcaucasus region as Caucasian Tatars or more rarely Aderbeijanskie (Адербейджанские) Tatars or even Persian Tatars in order to distinguish them from other Turkic groups and the Persian speakers of Iran. The Russian Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary, written in the 1890s, also referred to Tatars in Azerbaijan as Aderbeijans (адербейджаны), but noted that the term had not been widely adopted. This ethnonym was also used by Joseph Deniker (1900):

[The purely linguistic] grouping [does not] coincide with the somatological grouping: thus the Aderbeijani of the Caucasus and Persia, who speak a Turkic language, have the same physical type as the Hadjemi-Persians, who speak an Iranian tongue
