Namiabad: 1 Report post Posted February 23, 2011 He lived in Shiraz and was from a Lak tribe. Although similar to Kurds, the Laks are technically a different ethnic group whose language is often lumped into the Kurdish dialects. Similar to how Lori is lumped into the Persian dialects. In all honesty, it doesn't matter if he was Azeri, Kurdi, or Pars, because at the end of the day he served Iran and regarded himself as Iranian. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
