Is Azerbaijan a Nation or a Nation-state? 

# data[].attributes.body
Azerbaijan is close to being a nation-state yet not quite. Denmark is more highly concentrated than Azeribaijan in ethnicity. 91% of Azerbaijan is Azeri. Around 24% of Iran is Azeri also. Azeri is an irredentist nation that spans across Azerbaijan to Iran.

Azeris were a part of Russia in 1813 as a part of the Treaty of Gulistan. They declared their independence from Russia in 1918. Later, they became a part of the Soviet Union in 1936 and finally declared their independence in 1991. This may be considered a shatterbelt region. Reasons that the Azeris fight for their own nation state is because they wanted to keep their rightful land from Russia.

There are more Azeris in Iran than there are in Azerbaijan. Surprisingly they are peaceful enough and have not wanted autonomy from Iran. They want to influence Iranian politics for their own benefit but they are still a minority. Most Azeri are Shi'i Muslim.
