File talk:Iran ethnoreligious distribution 2004.jpg
This Image Is not True. For example West Azarbaijan provence is about 70-80 percent shia muslim. Azeri population are about 70-80 percent and Kurds are populated in south-west of provence.
این عکس صحیح نمی باشد برای مثال در استان آذربایجان غربی 70-80 درصد جمعیت مسلمان شیعه هستند. جمعیت مردم آذری 70- 80 درصد است و کردها در جنوب غرب استان متمرکز هستند.
The province is subdivided into 14 departments. The current number of the latter was determined over time by dividing the large departments into smaller ones. The departments of this province are: Urmia , Salmas , Naghadeh , Piranshahr , Bukan , Khoi , Mahabad , Oshnaviyeh , Sardasht , Chaldoran , Miandoab , Maku , Takab and Shahindej.
This map dosnot show true demographic structure of West Azerbaijani province. Because all borderline with Republic of Turkey shown as Kurdish inhabited. For Example city of Maku in borderline of İran and Turkey is a Azerbaijani city and near 90 percent of population speaks Azerbaijani Turkish.
There are no official statistics on the ethnic composition of Iranian cities. The Encyclopedia Iranica stresses that the extent of the speakers of Azerbaijan extends "well beyond the borders of Azerbaijan to the West" and the Kurdish people "may be located in regions border of the province of West Azerbaijan " . Dehkhoda also mentions in his dictionary as "the language of Azerbaijan is a branch of the group of languages of Iran known for Azeri.
Five cities in the province have a predominantly Kurdish, namely: Oshnaviyeh , Piranshahr , Bukan , Sardasht and Mahabad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.99.201.163 (talk) 11:35, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
