So he is trying to say that he is of Azerbaijan origin? That is very possible – because – guess what – Azerbaijan was part of the Khazarian Empire ( hahaha!). Therefore, he is descended from the ancient Khazars! You see, he would never say that he is of Russian, Ukrainian, Romanian, Hungarian, Lithuanian origin because he understands what that means that he is an Eastern European Jew! But by saying that he is from Azerbaijan, he feels proud but he doesn’t understand that people can dig up a little information and trace Azerbaijan to the Khazarian Empire. Please look at the link below which has a map of Khazaria and Azerbaijan was a part of it. Today, Azerbaijan is 97% Muslim and it has a population of over 10 million and the Jews there number 7,000 and there is no doubt that they are all descended from the Khazars.
Note: between 1920-1991 Azerbaijan was under Soviet control.
Note: When the Khazars converted to Judaism in the 8th century, Islam has been around for less than 200 years.
