Abstract The movement ‌of “ethnicism” (in ‌the‌ sense ‌of right - seeking and central demand against The‌ “ethnocentrism “of the‌ dominant ethnic group in Iran) in the ‌form‌ of “Turkish nationalism” is an important par t‌of political Life in Azerbaijan. This article seeks to trace the‌ roots and causes‌of the‌ events ‌of the‌ politicization of cultural, racial, linguistic and regional differences in Azerbaijan in the‌ contemporary peried; and especially after the‌ Islamic Revolution to ‌look‌ at both ‌the ‌“primordial” and “modern” approaches to ethnicity. Explaining the ethnic-national political currents of Azerbaijan requires more coplex approaches to the‌ issue‌ of nationality and nation in “general” and nationalism in “particular”. The refore, one ‌of‌ the the ories‌ of Michael Hechter’s scientific model (as a ‌desirable model) with a‌structural explanation (ie, the ‌effect‌ of the uneven development & regional inequalities) for the ‌analysis of ethnicism in Azerbaijan, forms the‌ skeleton and direction‌ of the article. The present article considers ethnic, cultural and identity diversity in ‌Iran as a great blessing. Because the ‌survival, continuity and ‌width ‌of the Iranian‌ body in different scenes depends ‌on its diversity. However, in‌ the ‌last‌ century, the ‌multi faceted ‌‌tree‌ of‌ existence, the diverse Iranig culture and identity, has been plagued by wounds of “internal” and “external” origin. The‌ results obtained in this article clearly show the‌ direct effect of indicators and variables derived from the‌ theory of the‌ in ‌the‌ occurrence, emergence and continuation of nationalist and ethnocentr developments in Azerbaijan in the‌ last‌ century.

Abstract The ethnocentric movement (meaning centralism and right-seeking against the ethnocentrism of the dominant ethnic group in Iran) in the form of Turkish nationalism forms an important part of political life in Azerbaijan. In this article, we try to find out the reasons, causes and roots of politicization of cultural, racial, linguistic and regional differences in present-day Azerbaijan; Especially since the Islamic Revolution - in the "modern approach" to ethnicity and nationalism.

the ethnic-national political currents or the analysis of ethnicity in Azerbaijan, one of the theories of Michael Hechter's scientific model is: The effect of arithmetic and rational selection (with non-structural explanation) is used. The results of this article show the direct effect of the indicators and variables derived from the theory of "rational choice" or "principle of balance of benefit" of Hechter's model on the emergence and continuation of "ethnicism" and "nationalism in Azerbaijan" in the last century.

Abstract Fundamentalist terrorism has been one of the important challenges of regional and even global peace and security in the last few decades. The Islamic Revolution of Iran and Russia have been subject to the threat of fundamentalist terrorism in some way. In this paper, an attempt is made to investigate the approach of the Islamic Revolution and Russia against fundamentalist terrorism. The fundamental question that is raised and examined is what approach have the Islamic Revolution and Russia adopted against fundamentalist terrorism? The present paper is descriptive and analytical and investigates the mentioned question using the library method. Findings of the paper indicate that fundamentalist terrorism is considered a serious threat to Islamic Revolution of Iran due to ideological reasons, threatening territorial integrity, and violence in the region, and also in the documents and strategy of Russia's national security, terrorism, including fundamentalist terrorism, is considered a serious threat to national security of this country. The strategy of the Islamic Revolution against fundamentalist terrorism can be explained both in the hardware dimension in the form of consulting and military intervention, and in the software dimension in the form of media activity as well as the formation of a regional alliance with countries such as Russia. In Russia's strategy against fundamentalist terrorism, military intervention and the use of regional alliances have had a special place, which can be explained as commonalities of the approach of the Islamic Revolution and Russia against fundamentalist terrorism.
