Asia continent as the largest and the most populous continent and the cradle of a developed civilization has different peoples with various races and with their special physical characteristics. The Iranian Plateau as a special geographical place in Asia continent has had different nations with various races. Azerbaijan (Atropatgan) is one of the main and ancient places of Iran where it has Aryan residents. In this paper, attempt is made to study the race and people living there from the perspective of anthropology and ethnology. The origin of the Turkic-speaking population of the north-western provinces of Iran, the so-called Azaris, is the subject of long-year debate. Here, we present preliminary results on testing of several hypotheses concerning their origin. - the Azaris are the descendants of the Turkic ethnic groups migrated from Central Asia- they have an autochthonous origins- they are of Iranian origin and- they have mixed ethnic origin with unknown proportions of source populations’ contribution.
