In an interview with Voice of America, political activist Bulut Alemdar evaluates the recent appointments of governors in Iranian Azerbaijan, saying, “I believe the recent appointments are similar to those made after the fall of the Azerbaijani National Government in 1946. Such appointments usually happen after a revolution or a coup.”

Bulut Alemdar, evaluating the recent increase in pressure on Turks in Iranian Azerbaijan and Tehran, states that the government crushes internal opposition so that their voices won't be heard when external threats emerge.

According to Bulut Alemdar, the Iranian government had partly succeeded in the past with its sectarian policies in distancing the Shiite Turkish community from the Sunni Turkmen population. However, in an interview with Voice of America, the national activist claims that after the recent flood disaster in the Turkmen Sahra region, "the unity between Turks and Turkmens was demonstrated."
