Azerbaijan National Resistance Organization

Azerbaijan National Resistance Organization (ANRO) (AMDT) (Persian: تشکیلات مقاومت ملی آذربایجان) (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan Milli Dirəniş Təşkilatı) was officially founded in 2006.

[1] [2][3] The group defines itself as a part and subset of general National Movement of South Azerbaijan[4] and advocates separatism for the Iranian Azerbaijanis as a result of their Pan-Turkist ideology.

[5][6] ANRO seeks to regain withheld economical, political, social, cultural and human rights and fundamental liberties of Azeri people in Iranian Azerbaijan.

[1][9] The group avoids and condemns all kinds of violence, especially those from governments and organized armed terrorists.

[10][11] In the ANRO's opinion, the struggle for self-determination is a legitimate and necessary right of the Turkic people in Iranian Azerbaijan.
